Michael G. Mullen: “The President has given us a clear mission: disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and its extremist allies.”

I think actually both sides, going back to the beginning of SALT, do not want to destroy the world and that continues.

It sickened me yesterday to see security personnel, including members of the National Guard forcibly and violently clearing the path through Lafayette Square to accommodate the President's visit outside St. John's Church.

I'm more afraid of the red ink than the red menace.

They are not battle spaces to be dominated and must never become so.
