SOTU Before the Storm
Posted by Heather Hurlburt

I've been predicting to anyone who would listen that there would be "more than nothing" about national security in the State of the Union, that it would come either at the beginning or end of the speech, and that it would make some news, and that the news would be related to terrorism/war.  check me on video at bloggingheads if you don't believe me.

So:  the Administration is in fact trying to make news with an initiative on bioterror preparedness.

All the pre-briefed phone calls and pre-relased talkers suggest national security coming at the end, after transparency and before the soaring close.

Nobody shares pre-briefs on the GOP response to me, but I would bet that it complains about "Mirandizing" terror suspects and claims Obama has made us less safe.

More later. 

Bonus best wonky pre-read: NSN board member Nina Hachigian of CAP writes the piece I wish I'd written, about what Obama won't brag about, but should, on HuffingtonPost.  (Hint:  quietly revolutionizing the way Americans conduct foreign affairs).
