wish I would have seen this show was on earlier....I will be able to catch the last hour though. Nice to see that we aren't ignoring this possibility. I think that the US would wake up and realize that "Hope" isn't what we need. What we needs is "Strength"

it would be the opportunity for the Obama administration to install their own version of government on the United States. In order to take over a country, you have to have the military and police force on your side and control of the media. Americans have always believed strongly in a free press. There's a reason Fox outdraws all the MSM TV outlets. Iran has attempted to shut down the Internet with no success. There's no way Obama would be able to shut down the Internet. More smart people outside the administration than in it. Most members of the Armed Forces are quite aware of what Obama is doing. No way would they support him installing a new government. However, the biggest success of the 9/11 attacks is the ongoing intrusion into our lives inflicted by Homeland Security and minimum wage earners such as those at the airports - the TSA employees - the rent-a-cops that patrol the bus stations, train stations, airports, stadiums, etc., that have been given weapons that they use on US citizens. They were successful in upsetting a vulnerable financial system enough that there was a domino effect which our response was to level more laws and restrictions further crippling ourselves. They affected just about everyone's life one way or another. And a lot of what's happening is what we are doing to ourselves. We're the ones inflicting limitations on ourselves. We're the ones who are making traveling miserable. Of course it's all necessary now because we're afraid one of them will slip through. This is 8 years later and our way of life has been completely altered.
