well, we have our Lobster. I have to applaud your post. You have just out written her book! You speak the truth! She has obviously caved and lost objectivity. Lobby what you have mentioned is so incredibly important to our Country's survival. I agree most on the Communist's intentions. I have felt lately like asking someone in power, What will you do if China attacks us and our drained military is in Iraq? Our guard is now down militarily via/and economically.
We should have been building our Military and Navy the past decade for starters. I feel we need to protect our country right now in a big way. Like you said, I think, the US is swatting at a gnat(Iraq) while a tiger(China) is looking on. I just don't think it is the American way to let our guard down this much and in so many vital areas. We could fix this, if they could only see it in Washington. I miss our forefathers.
An aside, I felt I was in trouble with this station, when they were literally yelling conspiracy over Bill Clinton getting more attention than Hillary in the campaign, lol. The conspiracy is that Bill wants a third term. So what? Remember the SNL skit where Bill had snuck back into the Oval office the night of Bush's inauguration.
