>> You are getting hysterical.

I'm not hysterical. I'm simply pointing out that you are factually incorrect. AQ, through bin Laden, *DID* make a formal declaration of war, and they *DID* carry out an attack that killed 3,000 people.

I think it is fine if you want to minimize it, you're entitled to your opinion. But you are woefully uninformed on the subject.

The overriding point here is not the connections amongst the terrorists, however. These direct connections may or may not exist. But Obama has returned to the prior arrangement of treating them like bankrobbers, which serves only to encourage the activity.

>> There is nothing to tie Fort Hood to something bigger. Zilch. Zero. Zip.

This, of course, is incorrect.

Hasan is known to have corresponded by email with al-Awlaki. As did the underwear bomber. Two independent operators corresponding with the same guy. That makes it something bigger.

What was the substance of the emails? We don't know. But we do know they exist. That is more than zilch.

Practically every expert on the subject agrees with me on this. You have cited the 9/11 commission report innumerable times, and the co-chairmen have both spoken out about the problems with Obama's policy on terrorism.

I'm not sure what else can be said on it. If you want to continue to be uninformed that is your business.
