The budding young political career of the idealist-President just now learning about himself at the expense of lives of American troops, feeds another monster in the making that needs to be slaughtered before it learns to walk…… homeland insurrection by fundamentalist warriors …. of which there are tens of thousands who carry knowledge, experience, will, power, and means combined with a deep sense of righteousness soundly ensconced in patriot zeal and sealed in the hardening fires of religious justification.

One can not help but project the Afghan experience as a field-test for insurrectionist forces within our own homeland, that if it can be done in Afghanistan, it can be done anywhere.

The brinkmanship of diplomacy of this President isn’t in Europe or the Muslim-belt of Iran or Iraq or Afghanistan, but right here at home and the Generals know it all too well.
