    Default "Taliban get back-Stand by for Al Quida."

    That is what Amb Crocker said in the presentation I linked to. He said the links between the two are still strong and if a 9-11 were to occur here again, it would most likely originate from a Taliban controlled Afghanistan.

    You all MUST listen to this presentation. He does not mince words. It is the best thing I've heard on this in a long long time.

    He said too that he considers part of our national security to consist of human and moral values, this in connection to our obligation to stand by people we have made promises to.

    He said this in the context of being able to speak freely.

    "God it's great not to be an official anymore."

    Finally, regarding our maybe attacking Iran he said that the only thing worse than an Iran with nuclear weapons is an Iran with nuclear weapons that somebody had tried to keep them from getting with military force.

    This video is GREAT!
