Why we haven't been attacked again
The CIA, NSA, FBI, ATF, US Military Intellegence, etc... are all much better at their jobs than the talking heads and politicians will ever give them credit for.
Political careers are made all the time by bashing good people and promoting bad people.
Its just one more rason why term limits would be a great idea.
We need to get the politicians out of politics and somehow open up Washington DC to REAL PEOPLE who have REAL WORLD EXPERIENCE.
We have a political class that more into self-promotion than in defending the USA against terrorist attacks.
(It is true at the State and local levels too)
