Actually, I'm More Afraid of Ted Kennedy's Gut

Get your canned food stashes and duct tape ready, folks... Homeland Security secretary Michael Chertoff has a gut feeling!

Radley Balko over at The Agitator has an excellent post in response. Read it here.

House Homeland Security Committee chairman Bennie Thompson (D-MS - yes, a Democrat from Mississippi, don't adjust your computer screen) gets two cents worth.

Once everyone discovers that terrorism is really about as much of an existential threat to the U.S. as gold-plated lemur turds, we'll have won the war on terror.

Oh, and I love the bit about al-Qaeda being able to train more freely on the Afghan-Pakistan border. You think that's because we're wasting all that time and energy in Iraq, perhaps?

Also: anyone who bitches about their in-laws around this woman is going to get quite an earful, I suspect.

An excellent point, Jeff. However, while Islamic terrorists lack the power to destroy us, they do have the power to make the state of war indefinite, which for them, is a win.

And that is hard to fight.
