I do not like all this stuff going on with Iran. I think Iraq may be a bridge to far as it is and we still have a mess on the plate in Afghanistan. Plus, I?m not buying into the proposition that we hat we have our own domestic terrorism threat under control. No, our borders are loose-goosy maybe gates. Little or no INS progress at figuring out who is who in the zoo and Universities that are just loaded to the gunwales with America hating Moslems from wonderful places like Saudi Arabia.
Sure, the Iranian religious nutcases are dangerous as hell, probably more so than Saddam. But that is why we own some boomer boats and they are easily retargeted if need be. Keep an eye on them for sure and bring international pressure to bear, but loose this war posture until we get caught up on the programs we got going. And what worries me most is that I?m not so sure we have such a hot international intel outfit going. That capability may have been left to languish way to long and looks to be ten toes over the line of being totally dysfunctional. That has to be our first line of defense and I?m not seeing much that impresses me a lot. Obviously I don?t see very much but what do see has the earmarks of an Abbot and Costello adventure gone way wrong. I can?t help but wonder what goes on in Langley, Va. besides being embarrassed at having their collective asses whipped by third world madmen.
