Terror Official: 'We're Going to Get Hit'; (and it will be Bush's fault!)

Gee, common sense told us this, 3 years ago.

It is only a matter of when, not if.

The other question is whether or not the people and their elected officials, at every level of government, will tolerate any move by Bush to use his own malfeasance, and its highly prdictable consequences, to declare martial law and finish off the constitution and any semblance of a Democracy.

Terror Official: 'We're Going to Get Hit' - Newsweek Periscope - MSNBC.com:

Jan. 22, 2007 issue - Intel director John Negroponte gave Congress a sobering assessment last week of the continued threats from groups like Al Qaeda and Hizbullah. But even gloomier comments came from Henry Crumpton, the outgoing State Department terror coordinator. An ex-CIA operative, Crumpton told NEWSWEEK that a worldwide surge in Islamic radicalism has worsened recently, increasing the number of potential terrorists and setting back U.S. efforts in the terror war. 'Certainly, we haven't made any progress,' said Crumpton. 'In fact, we've lost ground.' He cites Iraq as a factor; the war has fueled resentment against the United States.
