You were mocking this in your first post.
Suddenly, it's not a laughing matter to you, but instead, a war conspiracy.
Obama's worst nightmare is a successful airliner detonation. His very worst. If it's shown to be due to the same kind of epic security fail we just saw with this bomber, it will be the end of Democrats in the White House for decades, and a powerful diminution of Democrat power in Congress as well. Napolitano is lost at sea. She is shockingly unfit for her job, so more epic fails hardly seem out of the question.
Meanwhile, it's obvious to any informed observer that the US has no spare capacity, money, or political capital to engage in any new war.
I see little sense of proportionality and much conspiracy-think in your latest comments. I am content to accept that we have irreconcilable opinions.
