Best possible choice for one of the world's toughest jobs. Imagine being in charge of security for an entire country. With suicidal psychos for enemies.
Since TWA 800 was investigated by the FBI and the FAA, in what way was Kerik responsible for any perceived failings?
/sarcasm?
Great Choice. Rudy's got to be somewhere close...the dynamic duo.
Works for me .. Good Choice
Stop being a wet blanket. I hate you conspiracy theorists.
I'm happy.
Please explain your post. What did Commissioner Kerik do wrong? (Just curious.)
Cheering and patting myself on my back----I have advocated him for this job at least 6 times on various threads regarding this subject.
I was so happy to see him in the running this morning. I have watched him ever since he came back from Iraq, and he has been one of the most credible about the training needed of the Iraqi police.
He was also very good during the election, speaking for Bush.
A most excellent bump!
As you posted earlier...so it is done. This is excellent.
Puts Hillary in a little bind. She will be obligated to be positive since it is a NY guy. It would kill her to have to give GW credit.
The main administrative challenge is still to get all the pieces of the DHS to work together seamlessly....Remember, the NYPD and FDNY were NOT noted for this. Hopefully Kerick has learned this lesson from the 9/11 experience and will forcefull, and if necessarily, ruthlessly, integrate all the former agencies..
Excellent!
Great choice!
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Bush has picked former New York City police commissioner Bernard Kerik as his homeland security secretary and an announcement is expected as early as Friday, Republican officials said on Thursday. Kerik gained national attention during the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in New York City and has been a strong Bush supporter. Two Republican officials said Bush had chosen Kerik to replace Tom Ridge as head of U.S. homeland security. Ridge announced on Tuesday he was stepping down. An announcement could come as early as Friday, the officials said.
TWA 800 was a BILL CLANTON Gig.
What is his position on border security?
Just heard this...WOW this is wonderful news.
