We seem to be our own worst enemies. We should require critical U.S. infrastructure to remain in U.S. hands.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Trust me: our critical infrastructure is vulnerable to cyber-attack, to potential terrorist attack, and we are not taking this threat seriously enough.
Paradoxically, the United States' determination to protect its troops can be self-defeating. Allies and adversaries see U.S. forces living in secure compounds, eating fancy chow and minimizing their exposure to potential terrorist assaults.
I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.
We need to have a strong defense focused on areas that are in the greatest vulnerability. I have been very concerned about America's 361 seaports as a point in which terrorist activities and materials could be brought into the country.
To be sure, the United States has profound problems, not least our faltering educational and physical infrastructure.
We are potentially the most dangerous agency in the country.
Beware of no man more than of yourself; we carry our worst enemies within us.
Our ports and our borders are the most unprotected fronts in the war on terror.
In addition to anti-American terrorists with global reach, our adversaries include organizations - some nation states, some private and some criminal - that proliferate weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them.
The United States and our allies are determined: we refuse to live in the shadow of this ultimate danger.
