   THE PROBLEM IS /  you don't know how bad the radical terrorism problem is   
   nor do I. I hope the conclusions they make there is not like they do with   
   pollution cause then we would be making another mistake.I happen to think   
   the terrorists are nuts/ suicidal and crazy and I am not so much against   
   going after them as I am at what cost and not just allowing our own security   
   to lax. We have the most sophisticated air power and sattelite systems in   
   the world. Something is amiss when we can't find the terrorists by tracking   
   where they come from , or maybe this is the price so we have jobs.   
   I think we could have fought these battles without ttoo many men on the   
   ground and by training iraqis...and just using air power.
