These left-wing illuminati will indeed follow this test, because they’re so thirsty to go into there anyway.

This is only a test. Repeat. Only a test.

SpeakEasy, it would also take care of all those shenanigans on Wall Street.

Just saying.

I really would not miss New York. If it has to happen, and I hope it DOES NOT, it would be fitting to lose the most liberal city, one that has been encouraging just this type of behavior through weak-kneed platitudes. As a bonus we would finally be rid of the UN.

Just saying.

Hummmm, we reserve the right to refuse to do business. So, Piss off. Prove to me you are not financing terror and we’ll consider resuming business relations. That is the point isn’t it, not their “right” to do business, but ours not to.

You cannot force me to do something that is not in my best interest. If what the data gathered shows a situation is not, in fact, correct a mechanism to remedy or means for relief from the situation needs to be put in place. Bio metric ID cards would be a big plus. But so long as we are at war… or for till otherwise determined, the folks on the list need to figure out a way around a bad situation. I would not want to die, nor have my family dead because someone was not inconvenienced. But that is just me.

Comment #3 makes a very good point about early observation of the “no fui yo, fue tete” or “don’t blame me; it’s Bush’s fault” excuse because one of two things will happen. Either he will avoid dealing with an issue to avoid getting politically stained by it. Or, while seemingly dealing with it, much of the strategizing will involve developing of Plan Bs to reassign blame backward in case something goes wrong, with the consequence of less than total commitment to Plan A. The deployment of the “I inherited this mess” weapon will mean that complex, long-term problems will not be fully and effectively addressed.

The best thing about Obama winning the election is that Biden will be out of the senate for four years.

Too bad, Sirius Sir, your dreams of endless war just ended.

What the hell are you going on about?

Our system of law has a sharp distinction between the internal law of the nation and the external processes by which we deal with other nations. The terrorists are not nations, but are trying to destroy our nation. Our internal law is not designed for this.

They have studied us. They know that this line is a weak point in our armor, and they are striking us there. If we do not recognize this and create some kind of overlap aimed specifically at them, we are courting our own destruction.

Whiskey @ 38: “So around 6 million dead or so is a given. Likely within two years.”

Wow, Whiskey, stay away from the palantir.
