The American Security Project unveiled their latest yesterday, and the intent is to give the next President advice on a new approach to national security. Listen up, Mr. Obama. They're talking to you.

ASP's latest project, 'A New American Arsenal'

A New American Arsenal is a bipartisan effort to transform the way Americans think about and achieve their national security. Gone are the days when our security could be measured by the number of bombers and battleships in our arsenal. Today, our national security requires the coordinated use of all the elements of American power and a new bipartisan consensus at home.

The next American President will face a complex national security agenda beyond the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Terrorism associated with the violent jihadist movement remains a clear and present danger to the United States. Energy dependence weakens our national security, entangles us in unstable regions of the world, and contributes to climate change. Changes in the Earth’s climate pose a threat to humanity on an epic scale. The spread of nuclear weapons threatens the United States directly, destabilizes the international system, and increases the risk of theft or diversion of nuclear weapons to extremists and terrorists.

These are the challenges of the twenty-first century. How we address them over the next two years will determine the course of America’s national security for decades.

The gender in my title is intentional, by the way. I do believe Barack Obama will be our next president. Not because I don't want a woman in the White House, but because we don't need a woman in the White House who will do anything, even resort to the ugliest Karl Rove tactics, to get there. Not only do we need a fundamental change in the way we view national security, but we need the same change across the board, and it has to be clear to anyone paying attention, that Obama is the only candidate who can bring that change.

The fact is that the Clinton campaign has resorted to the worst kind of politics, and appears to have no shame when it comes to misleading the American people. The latest example, a mailer distributed by the Clinton campaign in Indiana, would lead you to believe Obama was opposed to a cap on credit card interest rates, when the fact is that he thought 30% was too high a cap, and wanted it lowered. A 30% cap is meaningless to people paying 29%, and only gives validation to credit card companies charging exorbitant rates. She fails to mention that. Just like she failed to mention how many jobs might be lost with her gas tax 'holiday', and how much money we wouldn't save. Just like she fails to mention her vote on the bankruptcy bill. The disingenuous claims, intentional deception and blatant hypocrisy of the Clinton campaign has left me no choice but to believe that the only scenario worse than a Clinton presidency would be a McCain presidency, and that just won't happen. People have had enough of Bush, and despite the media's propping him up, they won't fall for more of McSame.

Time to move on.
