Before I left for an appointment, I started to write a post here but didn't finish it. On my car radio, I heard the following quote from Newt Gingrich, which is almost exactly what I wrote to begin that post…
I think it puts into question all of the Homeland Security and Northern Command planning for the last four years, because if we can't respond faster than this to an event we saw coming across the Gulf for days, then why do we think we're prepared to respond to a nuclear or biological attack?
Something's wrong when I'm thinking like Newt Gingrich. Either he's changed, I've changed or — most likely — the truth is so self-evident that there's no possible alternate viewpoint.
