"Confirming Fears"

That didn’t take long.

As we observed throughout the campaign, Barack Obama gave indications that his election would mean a return to the September 10 mentality, a national-security outlook marked prominently by its lack of seriousness about the terrorist threat. In choosing Eric Holder to be his attorney general, President-Elect Obama has taken a step toward confirming those misgivings.


The editors of National Review have written a frightening assessment of Barack Obama's foreign policy plans, as the excerpt above depicts.

If, indeed, September 11, 2001 changed everything, as most of us said at the time, then a pre-September 11 mentality is not a step forward but a gigantic leap backward to a time when we assumed we were safe from catastrophic terrorist attacks on our own soil.

If Obama is a major danger to the nation with regard to domestic issues, then his foreign policy mentality is lethal.

Please tell me (God) we have not collectively been lulled into a trance by the left-wing peacenik illuminati. I want peace as much as anybody, but I read the Bible and I know two things: "The poor you will always have with you" and "there will be wars and rumors of wars" as this old world continues to wind down.
