OK time to worry and maybe join Republicans in their cellar full of spam and beans (would make for a refreshing odour I’m sure). Super Secret Agent Flowbee is making predictions again.Larry Johnson of nothalfbigoted suggests that the US should cut the SOCOM budget by 20%

I think Admiral Olson has imbibed too much of the kool-aid and is offering a prescription for a problem that is grossly exaggerated–terrorism. I believe that terrorism is a real threat that we should take seriously. I am not advocating “ignoring” it. However, to pretend that terrorism is the gravest, most significant threat we’ve ever faced is lunacy and ignorant.

Last time he said that was in July 2001 when he wrote in The Times.

...The greatest risk is clear: if you are drilling for oil in Colombia — or in nations like Ecuador, Nigeria or Indonesia — you should take appropriate precautions; otherwise Americans have little to fear.

Although high-profile incidents have fostered the perception that terrorism is becoming more lethal, the numbers say otherwise, and early signs suggest that the decade beginning in 2000 will continue the downward trend. A major reason for the decline is the current reluctance of countries like Iraq, Syria and Libya, which once eagerly backed terrorist groups, to provide safe havens, funding and training. ...

.....While terrorism is not vanquished, in a world where thousands of nuclear warheads are still aimed across the continents, terrorism is not the biggest security challenge confronting the United States, and it should not be portrayed that way.

So we know not to take his advice then.
