@rickyb and @timelagged
You are both whining about Paglia's opening statements because she did not lead with the usual Greenwald or Kariya crap about war criminals occupying the White House, or better, the GWOT is a fraud ginned up by the Repugs to win elections. Don't you guys get tired of reading that crap everyday? She is right-on and unusually nuanced for a Salon regular contributor by actually crediting the current administration with a rare accomplishment...preventing a repeat of 9/11, perhaps by clandestine and secretive means.
What she is really saying is that once the Dems take control next year, and they will, not much is really going to change in terms of anti-terror policy because the Dems know that if something bad happens, and al-Qaeda is way overdue, the Repugs will be back in power for another 25-year stretch.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that regardless of who occupies the WH next, certain options will not move off the table.
