Cheney Attacks Obama on National Security
Today Sunday February 14, 2010 Mr. Cheney (former vice president during the Bush Administration and defense contractor) had the guts to attach the Obama administration of not being prepared for the next terrorist attack. On the same breath he congratulates Mr. Obama for increasing the US efforts in Afghanistan.
The Naive American would like to comment on the remarks made by Mr. Cheney.
One has to be living in La La Land to believe that terrorists will never attack the US again. The simple reason is that the foreign policies for the past sixty years or so have alienated every single country we have ever consider our allies. Today very few countries label themselves as friends of the USA. Most nations are indifferent and many are completely our enemies. Yet we continue to bring nationals from countries that do not like the US and label them as refugees. We need to think on the consequences and not in the instant gratification, which is just a consequence of politicians being paid by the American Royalty through lobbyists. If you want a different version on my opinion please watch the 2005 documentary “Why We Fight” directed by Eugene Jarecki and be enlightened.
As we all know administration after administration has been spending billions of dollars, which the USA does not have (we borrow money from our master China) to waste on weapons and kill civilians and American troops and not been able to catch Osama Bin Laden which is the number one fugitive in the FBI Most Wanted List of criminals. Stop and think for a moment… Yes, something is definitely wrong with the way the USA and our policy dealing with terrorists. The only way to stop terrorism is to change our policies and become friends with our fellow human beings, which just happen to live on other countries. Until such change is made, terrorist will attach us over and over again. Think of the implications of a terrorist attack if it happens in the near future. The USA will plunge in an economic spiral that will never recover. That would mark the end of the US dollar and our way of life.
For the second point, Mr. Cheney congratulates Mr. Obama on spending more money in Afghanistan. Recall who was Mr. Cheney before, during and after being the Vice President. He is a defense contractor, which Naive American elected, in the same ticket as Mr. Bush. No wonder why he will always we happy prolonging a war that the USA will never win. We might (by a miracle) be successful in a battle in Afghanistan, but the war is impossible to win. The reality of Afghanistan is completely different than the one for the US. Nothing will change until after we change our ways. As long as we continue to attempt to bully our way of life on other countries and people we will be at war and exposed to terrorists.
I just got back from a business trip. It is incredible the infrastructure and people that works for TSA. It is so simple to bypass their security measures. On the other hand in the not so distant future we might (will) have to undergo strip searches to justify the additional waste of funds in something so foolish as the TSA.
Naive Americans need to think on the future of our society and country. At the rate we are going in the not so distant future we will be competing with third world countries.
