Whether you want to call it a “war on terror” as George W. Bush would or an “overseas contingency operation” as our current president prefers, we are at war. At least those who are waging battle against us are at war. I am not sure that politicians in Washington are at war or that the general public quite feels the war. This war almost came home to us again on Christmas Day with a Nigerian terrorist.
February 6, 2009 Update: The Obama Administration’s continued flirtation with law-breakers keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Here are his latest poor choices:
Secretary of the Health and Human Services - Tom Daschle: It seems the former senator “forgot” to pay $128,000 in taxes over three years. He paid the back taxes plus $12,000 in interest and penalties seemingly right before his confirmation hearings. It was also disclosed that Mr. Daschle also made millions of dollars since he failed to win re-election in 2004. He was paid by a law firm, but is not a lawyer and claimed that he is not a lobbyist. If it gets paid like a lobbyist and looks like a lobbyist and smells like a lobbyist, he mustn’t be a lobbyist.
