We are already in an international crisis. Yes I think he's referring to Russia, Iran, Al Queda, Pakistan, and Afghanistan all testing our new President off the top to see what they are dealing with. With that said bad slip on his part to speak on it.
Fear mongering is scaring people into propaganda for your own gain last i checked.
I agree, just really bad on his part to even get on the subject.Quote:

Still dont know if it was agenda driven enough to be fear mongering, but otherwise i agree.Quote:
