Unfortunately, there's no shortage of liars out there to say that. At this point, I'm rooting for Great Cthulhu to come surging up from the depths and make the Obama administration, the mainstream media, and everything connected with them a moot point -- the moot to be held by surviving Great Old Ones, after they put us out of our collective misery by turning us into sushi.

Inspections don't prevent bad things from happening.

They CAN, but there is no magic wand.
