Last week was not a good week for national security. The Supreme Court decided to give captured terrorists more rights than American citizens have in American courts. In his dissenting opinion Justice Scalia said this decision "will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed." Barack Obama then lauded this "law enforcement" first approach to the war that Osama Bin Laden and his followers declared on us long before September 11.
For over a decade Osama Bin Laden and his followers were at war but the Clinton Administration saw individual criminal acts and brought lawyers to a gun-fight. Rember Bill Clinton was too busy in the Lincoln Bedroom doing Monica Lewinski instead of taking care of the county and failed to get Osama Bin Laden when he would have been hand to him and the U. S. from Sudan, appears that an Obama Administration - with the Supreme Court's support -- would do the same. This is something our nation cannot afford.
To make sure you have the facts you need in the fight to preserve our nation, Townhall is offering you this must read edition of Willful Blindness: A Memoir of the Jihad. Rush Limbaugh describes terrorism expert, Andrew McCarthy's book best:

"Finally, from the legal front line, a devastating account of the peril we put our country in when we treat terrorist atrocities as if they are mere crimes. Andy McCarthy was there when the jihad began. Read this book and you'll understand why this war is a war, and why we have no choice but to fight it and win it." -- Rush Limbaugh

Andrew McCarthy tells a terrifying story of a nation's leaders - unsure of how to wage battle against an enemy with no rules of engagement, no concern for political correctness, and legions of zealots control through religious fanaticism. Their solution? To prosecute a handful of individual terrorist while thousands of their follows plan their assault on our shining city on a hill.
McCarthy was in the courtroom and led the successful prosecution of the jihad organization that carried out the 1993 World Trade Center attack and now he takes you behind the scenes when law enforcement and intelligence agencies underestimated the threat of the terrorist movement growing around us. This was not a battle that could be won in the courtroom. We learned that terrible lesson on September 11, 2001.
As last week's news demonstrates, there are still many in Washington that don't believe this is a war. A Memoir of the Jihad shows in stark and shocking terms the human cost of this approach. This book arms you with the facts about what the jihadists are doing as they operate within America's borders, boldly targeting our cities and seeking to destroy our way of life.
With Barack Obama suggesting we should deal with terrorism like ordinary crimes and Democrats handcuffing our intelligence agencies efforts to disrupt terrorist networks, American families are in ever-increasing danger of becoming victims of terrorism. Solving a crime of terrorism after the fact won't save lives. Only by taking the fight to the terror networks will we be able to protect Americans from another terrorist disaster in one of our cities.  Barak Obama and the Democratic Congress favor the rights of terrorist who want to kill Americans over rights of American Citizens.
You do not hear of the Democrats and the far left (Communist) new media about the the untold stories of U.S. soldiers' heroism in Iraq and Afghanistan. You will not hear why leaders of countries with socialized health care are coming to the United States for care that cannot be found anywhere else in the world. And remember President Reagan's warning on why we need to keep America number one.

I don't even know why I respond to garbage like the stuff written above.  Most of the US knows and understand by now that we went to war in Iraq under false pretenses, and that war did less to stop terrorism than going after Al Quaida in Afganistan would have done.  Talking about Clinton is focussing on the past.  What about the present?   Bush put much more effort into overturning Saddam Hussein's regime than going after Osama Bin Laden.  It's time that we put our energy into going after the person responsible for 9-11 and stop spending millions in a war in Iraq that's crippling our economy.  

The Democrats can no longer be called the fiscally irresponsible party...  Look at Arnie asking for a loan in California because of the failed government there...

You need not feel compelled to enlighten our site with your superior voice of reason.   We can live without the condescension.

There is nothing 'reasonable' about thinking that Saddam Hussein, and his two evil sons, were any less dangerous than Osama Bin Ladin.   It is quite 'reasonable' to predict that Hussein and his sons with their resources would have, in time, wreaked much greater havoc on the world than Bin Ladin.  The Hussein family was as evil as they come, and the world is a safer place without them.

It is incredulous that you pin the failed government of one of the most liberal states in the union to it's RINO governor, and not the overwhelmingly liberal legislature and court system.  

You have learned your 'talking points' well.  Keith and Chris would be proud of you.
