The nation's liberal faction and their national liberal media mouthpiece continue to be "stuck on stupid" --

Since the end of the Korean War, this limp-wristed faction has attempted to trash any attempt at restoring our nation's most critical weapon; Human Intelligence (HUMINT) --

Today, at the euphoria of a terrorist enemy, these schmucks continue to thwart our nation's deployment of this single, most effective weapon against the type of warfare that we fought and miserably lost in Vietnam.

Our nation's last best hope in this conflict and into the foreseeable future is the capability to infiltrate, identify, and destroy our enemy --- via HUMINT –

What will it take for them to fathom even a clue as to what our nation faces? A 911 times 1000?

In addition to being "stuck on stupid", they've become "mired in malfeasance" --

The following commentary was written on 914 ----- 911+3 days --

Apathy interrupted

The draw-down of military forces following Vietnam was appropriate — further draw-downs by President (Impeached) Clinton's administration threaten our nation's security. This draw-down without providing funding for increased human intelligence to meet the void left by the drastic draw-down has been a matter of concern since the early '90s.

Concerned pleas from major Veterans' organizations, congressional committees,veteran Internet forums, think tanks, the CIA and FBI to replace human intelligence operatives pulled from strategic areas around the world has fallen on deaf ears (from 1948 through the Korean conflict, this nation enjoyed a worldwide human intelligence operation second to none). Even saddled with limited funding, manpower and assets, the intelligence community has performed in an outstanding manner — year after year, having thwarted/captured terrorists before they were able to carry out their deadly acts. But their limit was reached some time ago — the deficits in human intelligence in the Mideast left us with little clue as to our vulnerability and today leaves us with little clue as to a positive suspect in the tragedy in N.Y.C. and D.C. Those leaders responsible for our lack of national security are responding today with defensive, guilt-laden rhetoric — "Don't point fingers!" — and day-late self righteousness — "The wake up call came today!"

Well gimme a break! — Sorry your apathy has been interrupted!
