BEHOLD:

I don't know about you all, but when Al Qaeda is promising that they are currently planning attacks that will be "strong, serious, alarming, earth-shattering, shocking and terrifying,” and that the strikes will be "group and lone-wolf operations, in addition to the use of booby-trapped vehicles," then they don't particularly sound all that decimated.

Meanwhile, the guy Obama wants as defense secretary, Chuck Hagel, has been accused by conservatives of having "soft-line views on Iran, hostility toward Israel, and support for cuts in the military and nuclear forces." 

Perfect.  It makes PERFECT SENSE that we should have someone like that in charge of DEFENDING us against terror, doesn't it?

GAWD.
