Until we rip off the scab of 9/11 and let the truth flow, we are just paddling piddly-poo as a nation, folks!
"Obama promising updated security strategy
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Democrat Barack Obama vowed yesterday to take on emerging nuclear, biological, and cyberterrorism threats - threats he said have gone dangerously ignored with the failed focus on Iraq and a focus on "fighting the last war."
Obama, who on Tuesday forcefully stood by his plan to withdraw the vast majority of combat troops from Iraq within 16 months of taking office, said at Purdue University in Indiana that he will secure all loose nuclear weapons, spend $5 billion over three years to forge an international intelligence and law enforcement network, and appoint a cyber security adviser reporting directly to him.
Obama, who also unveiled a new TV ad on the issue:
"It's time to update our national security strategy to stay one step ahead of the terrorists - to see clearly the emerging threats of our young century, and to take action to make the American people more safe and secure. It's time to look ahead - at the dangers of today and tomorrow rather than those of yesterday (Boston Globe July 17 2008)."
Yeah, but we can only do that BY LOOKING BACK, dude!!!!
