...and adding my basic agreement with you on the main controversy here, that it just seems strange to me that you went into full-kneejerk-refutation mode. Whatever, dude.

So it's some republican leadership, and the evil media and Ms. Clinton who are really at fault? I don't think you have a firm grasp of who is doing all the complaining. Congressmen are getting a mess of letters from constituents. Right-wing talk-radio is having a fit.

But the main way this is going to be handled is knowing what in the ship before it's within 100 miles of US- not when it's at the port Are you saying we should board and inspect cargo at sea? Or what is your plan?

And we will get the silly "the president knew about it, but did nothing to stop it" nonsense. Well you did just see me make reference to specific warnings, so how could it be nonsense?
