I expect it to be quite soon, actually - and I also believe the previous death toll of 9/11 will be nothing compared to the destruction that will be brought down upon us by a weak and foolish Commander in Chief.
In any case, at this rate, by the time the Part-Time Senator from Illinois has taken his oath of office, there won't be one single promise left to fulfill. Perhaps that's what was planned all along - get the denials over with now so he won't face them when he's in office. It would be almost funny to watch the painful wretchings some of his supporters are going through now what with the Anointed One flip-flopping on nearly every issue that he was elected in support of, but it's far too painful watching what I believe will be massive destruction of our Country, its economy, its way of life and its national pride.

President-elect Barack Obama wants to renew the U.S. commitment to finding al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, according to his national security advisers.
The Obama team believes the Bush administration has downplayed the importance of catching the FBI's most-wanted terrorist because it has not been able to find him.
"We will kill bin Laden. We will crush al Qaeda. That has to be our biggest national security priority," Obama said during the presidential debate on October 7.
Obama says IT'S OK, WE DON'T REALLY HAVE TO KILL HIM
Barack Obama suggested last night that removing Osama bin Laden from the battlefield was no longer essential and that America's security goals could be achieved merely by keeping al-Qaeda "on the run".
"My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him," he said. "But if we have so tightened the noose that he's in a cave somewhere and can't even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America."
His comments, in a CBS interview, represent a significant watering down of the "dead or alive" policy pursued by President Bush since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001. They also appear to contradict Mr Obama's own statements made in the election campaign.

Yesterday, the President-elect adopted far less aggressive language, saying his "No 1 priority" was to protect America from further attack.
Osama says WE WILL KILL ALL OF YOU, OBAMA INCLUDED
It was the threats to Barack Obama however — who has in the past vowed to kill bin Laden — that will remind the US and its allies that bin Laden has eluded them ever since the September 11 attacks. He promised the President-elect that the terror network would open new fronts against the US. “If he withdraws from the war, it is a military defeat. If he continues, he drowns in economic crisis,” bin Laden said of Mr Obama, whom he did not mention by name.
