		<description>From my global perspective and the growing unrest and tensions especially in the Pacific region which we will unfortunately soon see in the Philippines and Indonesia for instance.

While China has been hosting the olympics and most assuredly has been addressing infrastructure bulding and challenges we saw on CNN during the Olympics, lest no one underestimate the amount of fiat - federal reserve notes - which most refer to as US dollars, though not backed by gold or anything else - lest no one underestimate the military and technology advancements of Chinese forces especially in laser weaponry and other very sophisticated technological  military-space related initiatives as cyber-security tops my list as well as McCain as an independent voter w/no party affiliation!

As far as my perspectives on the candidates and the majority of Americans which will be telling on election day and crucial to our security, an Obama team which I have seen thus far may be oriented to addressing the issues affecting the world in the 70's and 80's, however it will take a strong and assertive President to combat the threats to our great nation from many possibilities hered in the 21st century and I look high in the sky and see the next real threat or at least a powerful card if one chooses to use it...

It will be the Europeans (German EU led fast deployment armed forces) who will undoubetdly deal with Al Qaeda which is extensively training and is a direct threat to the security of European cities shortly. 

Unfortunately, we here in the US are a wasteful nation, a nation of special interest groups.

We are not a nation of rainy day savers, yet a nation with those we have entrusted with our vote and their supposed empty slogans of change in their less than genuine commitment to public servive only to see our government workers in the House and Senate openly address their own personal needs as a priority. 

Corruption is so rampant everywhere and soon this will lead to a global demise in the future.

You talk of infrastructure and how we must address further and I show you Boston's - seven mile - in excess of $20Billion - I reiterate - Boston's US$20 Billion fiat federal reserve notes misspent on the largest (seven (7) mile) public works project in the United States with hardly any accountability - innocent loss of Life - pls see: www.bigdiglifevest.com - and i would rather commit our monies on our military infrastructure protecting the skies and address the ongoing focus and sophistication of Russians and Chinese technology which - as we saw in Georgia with Russians emnploying technology to jam communications and other more sophistiated efforts than place our monies in the hands of both sides of the aisle who turn their cheek and allow tax monies to be wasted....

This next election is said to be a generational election - well most do not relect on history and the lessons we learn from knowing history and given today's educational attainment of a graduating high school or even college student, I do hope the older egneration chooses to vote and shows how history can impress people to look to Washington and send a clear message that the maverick who has shown great strength in personal and professional commitment will be afforded the opportunity to address the real needs of a crumbling infrastructure a sa result of the lack of wasteful and unaccounted monies drawn at rabdom from the tax coffers.

		<description>The trend lines seem to be the problem. Admittedly China has a long way to go to achieve what seems the goal of the leadership. But at least they have a goal. What is the US leadership's infrastructure goals? By the way my belief GE and not NBC was the big US corporate winner at these immediately past Olympics.</description>

		<description>&#62;&#62;"Neither of the Presidential candidates truthfully have much personal and professional experience nor an HS and EM experienced team assembled."

Are you kidding?  I would say that BOTH candidates have a significant amount of experience, just very different.  The issue is judgment, efficacy to accomplish what they set out to do, and that which they actually set out to do.  It looks to me as though McCain doesn't set out to do much at all when it comes to homeland security.  I don't expect my commander in chief to have a background in homeland security, but I do expect him to understand how to set HS policy and to articulate his goals.  Looks to me as though Obama has set forth a long list of goals and McCain offers a  sound bite of just over one minute.</description>

What in the world?  Mr. Tingus I couldn't finish that lengthy and confusing missive, but that passage above was too bizarre to pass up.  Your strange assertion that the west is "far too liberal" to be secure as others challenge our security makes zero sense.  Moreover, I don't see the connection to this post's main point: lack of government leadership in coordinating with the private sector in order to better secure our cyber assets.  We do not have a liberal government in place.  So it would seem odd to blame liberalism for our lack of cyber security.</description>

		<description>The need for indepth, comprehensive Cyber Security/technology policy and implementation led by the valued and proven competencies of those we can entrust is so vital to our national interests.

The scientific and mathematically trained leadership of China understands the value of computer technology and monitoring internet discussions and is doing its utmost to use our fiat dollars to enhance their enlightenment and deployment of such...

The legal professionals that are at the helm in the west in government leadership roles do not have the acumen to understand the imperative policy commitment and implementation required for our security. The west is far too liberal and will prove again as it has in history its reluctance to portray strength as our democratic ideals are being challenged by those seeking our demise.

Unfortunately, it will take war to wake the west and many will suffer needlessly if we could show strength as our survival depends on asserting our earned prominence in this world where America has portrayed compassion for others and stood tall for human rights.   

Look to the sky for the one nation who supercedes all others in cyber technology will reign power from the horizon for all to fear until the almighty descends to alleviate the dastardly deeds of those evil in heart.

Yes, you are correct that there are NO privacy rights and all internet message traffic is subject to scrutiny and the ACLU and anyone else can complain, however to no avail.

While we may hope that privacy rights prevail, from what I can gather, many nations feel compelled to monitor any and all internet communications and this practice will undoubtedly continue as world tensions and economic woes heighten and governments see the further necessity to indulge on behalf of the majority interests.

We here have two Presidential candidates who don't have a grasp or the training/experience to address and from my perspective, this great nation and the most charitable people in the world must wake up to the fact that the world outside their suburban enclave is quite dangerous and imposing of its values and will only foster life-threatening military action and less and less rights for the individual.

What a shame that evil so prevails when so much prosperity and technological and other growth offers so much hope, yet this reader is pervaded with despair because he sees those we entrust to stand tall and make difficult decisions waver in their diligent commitment to serve the public and the majority interests our national security.

God Bless America!

		<description>How about this under your "motivations" category? 

Since 9/11 Islam has been growing at a rapid pace in the United States-unopposed. Despite the occasional compliant about 'profiling' or 'Islamophobia', the fact of the matter is that inside the US Border, America is not at war with Islam. In fact, the case could well be made to the opposite extreme, but I digress.

The number of cells and/or individuals that have been 'disrupted' during their attempts to prepare to go abroad and fight the US military should be a good indicator that the ideology is there- I mean here. 

The premise that "killing Americans in Islamic countries is reasonable (and possibly commanded based either on 'defensive warfare' or 'infidel invaders')" is more accepted than 'we' wish to believe in our country. 

As long as the overall Salafi/ Wahabbi message continues to grow and spread in the US, the (terrorists) puppet masters know that eventually a certain percentage of the faithful will strive to pursue their struggle to the next level and initiate a jihad plot inside the US. These sporadic attacks will serve to keep Americans nervous and intimidated and therefore still not prepared to address the problem head on- thereby buying time for those waging a sort of 'Grand Jihad' the time they need to infiltrate and take over without too many people noticing.....the Art of War.....until it's all over.</description>
