It was truly remarkable. Ed Loyd More Ed Loyd Quotes 1

If our system did such a poor job when there was no enemy, how would the federal, state and local governments have coped with a terrorist attack that provided no advance warning and that was intent on causing as much death and destruction as possible? Susan Collins More Susan Collins Quotes 0
