al Ka-Ka

I have a great uncle who used to use "ka ka" as a synonym for, well, "$hit". I would like to make a declaration that al-Qaida will now and forever be known as al Ka-Ka. After reading all the news clippings today and yesterday of how they are retooled and rebuilt, it really makes you wonder. I voted for President Bush twice and I'm not ashamed to admit it. Sure, he's not the best president in the history of the country but he's not the worst either. Anyone who tells you he is probably can't name 25 US Presidents, let alone tell you what they did in office. Right now, I think Bush and the Republicans are stuck between Iraq and a hard place (sorry). Why do I think that? Every time the administration tries to warn people about a terror alert - the liberals and media make fun of them and say they are trying to sway national attention away from something else or using fear to garner votes. If a spectacular attack would go off next week in this country - they will be blamed unmercifully - even after every warning gets brushed aside. They will say the war in Iraq caused it even though this can never be proved or disproved. If a democrat happens to win the presidency and THEN a terrorist attack happens on our shores, the complaint will be that Bush didn't do enough when he was in office to squash future threats and all he did was stir the pot. Basically, he's screwed if he tries to fight them now, he's screwed if they attack before he's out of office and he's screwed if they attack shortly after he's out of office. Like or dislike Bush - there is very little doubt in my mind that Gore or Kerry would have handled these situations better. Nothing is going to appease the fringe groups who are always going to be terrorists. Violence is the only thing they understand. If another attack happens, we find the area of the world where they trained and planned - whether it be a region, city or country - and we make it inhabitable by man for 100's of years. Get the picture?
