[QUOTE="Ace_on_the_Turn, post: 2814661, member: 27417"] Geraldo Rivera's a liberal? Hum, better let Fox News know they have a fox in the hen house. What would you have us do? Sit in our houses, wetting our pants? If we did that, they win. We should do exactly what we are doing, going about our lives. Not living in fear. You have a hell of a lot more to fear then ISIS. By squatter do you mean the twice duly elected president? And if we are attacked again, we will respond. You seem to think that the president, the intelligence community and the military has spent the last 14 years sitting around playing tiddlywinks. Is it possible that the reason we have not had a major terrorist attack since 9/11 is that a lot of very good people are doing their jobs? Because, according to some, the terrorist could simply walk across the southern border unchallenged, sit up shop anywhere they like and hit us at will. Since that is not happening it's either because they don't want to attack us again or because something is stopping them. Which do you think it is? Fourteen years ago we were attacked. We responded mightily. We bombed Afghanistan (the state sponsor of the attack) back to the stone age. We then, in a strong decisive military reaction, invaded Iraq. Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks, but what the hell. Ten years later we have 3000 dead and 30,000 wounded American soldiers. Two plus trillion dollars spent. And what did that decisive military reaction accomplish? It removed the strongest stabilizing secular power in the region, giving rise to...wait for it...ISIS. Maybe a smart, reasoned reply would be a good idea next time. Yes, we are not safe. We murder each other at an alarming rate. We die tripping and falling over furniture. We crash our cars. We get hit by lightning. What we don't do is get killed by foreign terrorist in the U.S.. [/QUOTE]
