As every good football team knows. By the way, only a few weeks away from the Collegiate Football season. I can hardly wait. Something else to do that is interesting and captivating other than watching and posting on the Politics for Pros-moderated thread.

<<<The war must be fought with offense and defense both.>>> We all pretty much know what defense means: 1. Strengthen our military. 2. Improve our Intelligence capabilities 3. Secure our borders and ports. 4. Safeguard our transportation system. We have pretty good systems people and engineers. We can go to the moon and we can design a good defense. But for a good offense, that is much more complex. We need a good offensive coordinator. Someone that will not waste money by putting us into a quagmire that we can not get out of. Hopefully this offensive coordinator can get others (our allies ) to share the burden on the cost of WOT. Using s sports analogy which most of the guys on this thread will get, fans at football and basketball games shout deeefense, deefense - because they know that you can't win without a good defense. In baseball, if your defense is poor, you make errors that allow your opponents to get more at bats - that makes the contest uneven. The opponent gets to send more hitters to bat.
