My Comment: I remember reading a few years ago a remark made by then U.K. Prime Minister Blair on the fears that he had of receiving a phone call telling him that a 9/11 type terrorism strike had hit England, producing thousands of deaths and even more in casualties.

I guess President Obama must be now feeling the same thing for him to announce in a public forum these same concerns and worries. I guess those intelligence reports are giving him pause.

The fact is that if a major terrorism strike does come to America .... it will be he and his policy of approaching terrorism as a legal issue that will be discredited. If it does not, it will be he and his policy of approaching terrorism as a legal issue that will receive the proper acknowledgment and praise. Either way .... this is a very uncomfortable position to be in, and I do not envy President Obama and his responsibilities as President to be in the middle of this debate.
