In a nutshell, Clarke argues that while President Bush and the U.S. national security apparatus have been focused like a laser beam on "grave and deteriorating" war in Iraq, other mounting security challenges have fallen off the radar.

We have TP commenters from all over this country! Anyone in BushCo goes anywhere in this country to speak or vacation, and at every turn there's one of us holding up a sign or yelling taunts at them. We would comb our hair down into the best rightwing styles, wear our proper suits and skirts, and even change our voter registration to Republican -- just so we can follow these jackasses around, never giving them a moment's peace.
