The MSM's focus on how alleged terrorist got on board the Northwest plane completely misses the point. The issue is not why this person was not stopped
but, instead, why the war in Afghanistan has not been stopped. It is clear from this
attempted bombing involving Al-Queda inYemen that terrorism is a world-wide
network that defies conventional military operations. Our military is chasing a
phantom. As we chase them out of Afghanistan and Pakistan, they merely relocate
to Yemen and other areas. Are we going to invade every nation that has an
Al-Queda connection? The only way to deal with this highly dispersed terror
network is through targeted intelligence and small-scale police and military
operations aimed at particularterror cells
scattered around the globe. We are trying to defeat terrorism with a hammer when
it requires a scalpel.
