Ollie North Nails It Again

Not big on quoting Ollie, but I think he nails it here:

"... in Washington, more Republicans joined the “get out of Iraq” chorus as Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff described his “gut feeling” that a major terrorist event against us is in the offing.

Mr. Chertoff’s queasiness — my word not his — is well founded. The months ahead are very likely to be — as he put it — a period of “increased risk.” It’s not just because of “seasonal patterns of terrorist attacks” or “recent al Qaeda statements.” Rather, the greater threat of terrorist activity is very likely tied to a perception, widely supported by the U.S. press and an increasing number of politicians, that the west cannot stabilize Iraq or Afghanistan and will therefore “withdraw” from the unprovoked war radical Islam is waging against us."

We are our own worst enemy.
