I frankly don't think it's going to be a successful war on terrorism until law enforcement agencies like the FBI are willing to share with other law enforcement agencies. If they can't share information, there's no way this war can be won.

Since 2001, the Patriot Act has provided the means to detect and disrupt terrorist threats against the U.S. Prior to enactment of the law, major legal barriers prevented intelligence, national defense, and law enforcement agencies from working together and sharing information.

Congress should act to make sure no one on a no-fly list is able to buy a gun. What could possibly be the argument for allowing a terrorist suspect to buy a semi-automatic weapon? This is a matter of national security. We also need to make it harder for people to buy powerful assault weapons like the ones that were used in San Bernardino. I know there are some who reject any gun safety measures. But the fact is that our intelligence and law enforcement agencies — no matter how effective they are — cannot identify every would-be mass shooter, whether that individual is motivated by ISIL or some other hateful ideology. What we can do — and must do — is make it harder for them to kill.

Like other antitrust agencies we make our assessment of a merger or antitrust case based on its impact on our jurisdiction, and not on the nationality of the companies. This is exactly what the U.S. antitrust agencies, the Justice Department and the FTC, do.

Mubarak Stalinate Resurrection Plans
the Stalinate resurrection
continues his ego shamed
chaos festering plans
proof a Russian trained
communist die hard
dictator at heart cares nothing
for real suffering of oppressed
pawn common people
in all Egyptian lands
dinosaur die hard
dictators deserve to be global due date
chastised dissected
reined in
chewed up
spat out
reinstate multiple party state
dismantle Mubarak legacy
secret police breed
overhaul 'Amned Daula'
State Security torture dogs
'Moochabarat' impede
both secret police agencies
brutally powerful plague
agent sweeping powers
wielding decades old
Emergency Law abuses
as state security thug exploits
a state security essentially
doing whatever it wants
equals no real rule of law

Would it not be much better to have a president who deliberately lied to the people because he thought a war was essential than to have one who was so dumb as to be taken in by intelligence agencies, especially those who told him what he wanted to hear?
