The attacks of 9/11 are the linchpin to the whole thing. His whole premise is "We have to take the fight to the enemy, or he will attack us again." Then he says "Therefore, we are on the offensive," like he has just made some big philosophical argument that justifies genocide. Of course it is harder for us to be attacked at home when we are attacking abroad, but will that ever solve the problem? No, imo, it will only escalate and exacerbate it. We will eventually be attacked again in this scenario, only sooner, and with more damage and greater loss of life.
Is that what he is trying to make happen? It certainly seems so. Otherwise he would have secured our borders and transportation corridors first before committing our entire military, including the NG (which is supposed to guard the nation, you know, the National Guard) to his ill-conceived "Global War on Terror."
Remember this post when a suitcase nuke goes off in an American city, martial law is declared, and we are all well and truly screwed.
