A former US national security adviser says President-elect Barack Obama may be tested by terrorists after he takes office on Jan. 20.
“It’s possible. There’s no way of predicting that. It’s a possibility, but it’s by no means a certainty,” former Carter administration national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski said in an interview with Deutsche Welle.
Brzezinski said that history shows that every new US president is tested by transitional challenges and circumstances.

“I think that Obama has shown that he is very calm, very rational and very deliberate in his approach to issues and I think if he is tested he will respond cogently and rationally and effectively,” said Brzezinski.
The last two US presidents have been tested early in office – the two attacks on the World Trade Center occurred in the first year of Democrat Bill Clinton’s and Republican George W. Bush’s presidencies.
Brzezinski added that changing the substance of US policies is not as easy as it sounds and Obama may be incapable of bringing a ‘dramatic change’ to Washington.
“You have to think of foreign policy as, for example, a boat moving on the sea. A huge ocean liner doesn’t change its course in the way that a fast motor boat does. Therefore it is not possible for the United States dramatically to change every one of its policies. But I think there will be a significant shift in substance and in tone,” Brzezinski concluded.

He should know. He’s the one that helped created “al-qaeda” in the late 70s.

Hey Brzezinski, if I wanted to hear from an asshole I would have farted. Brzezinski and Obama both can kiss my A$$ and shove the NWO where the sun doesn’t shine.

Huge ocean liner or not, when heading full steam for an iceberg it better should do its utmost to change course or sink to the icy depths.

um hint, hint, a vacation cruise liner smacked by
Al Qaida in a fast moving boat?
sorry guys, it’s ballsy, a terror attack yes, but
not enough to make anyone other than
housewives and news media types to declare WWIII

Huge ocean liners have propulsion pods that can be rotated in just about any direction – this is particularly important for fine movement control when docking at a harbour. The QM2 has four 20 MegaWatt electric motor driven propellors.

An oil tanker would be a better comparison – the navigation crew have to switch the engines off a day before they are about to reach port, as the momentum from the ship’s mass is enough to keep it moving through the water for a whole day.

“But I think there will be a significant shift in substance and in tone,” Brzezinski concluded.”

Wake up America!!!
check out my website – truthknowledge.com
and yes, i agree with post 15 – we’ll get nuked, to justify nuking someone else, just like 9/11 was staged in order to pursue the war on terror, all to form the one world gov’t.

Brezinski, Hmm, he who advocated a ‘large ground breaking event to get the world support behind a US geo strategic war for vital resources’ is stirring his foul mouth again.
Watch him, better even get rid of him, fast, he is truly evil.

So, Osama is going to test Obama!
Well Osama, Obama’s passed the test already! The first appointment he made was of Rahm as his chief-of-staff. Then he pissed-off Iran by his remarks. Ain’t that ‘nuf for ya? Or you’d like to have Ahmadinejad’s half-burnt passport at the venue of next ‘they-hate-our-freedom’ show before they nuke Iran?

The last thing America needs is a guy Like Brzezinski who is a foreigner, a Trilateral Commissioner/CFR NWO advocate to advise us and suggest what course the US should take regarding Foreign Policy or any other agenda!!God help us all were in bigger trouble now than ever before!
