Thank you once again for an oustanding job.

MTP sounds absolutely deplorable this week. The 9/11 Commission Chairs are such narcissists that they are unwatchable.

And for all the people whining that "we haven't followed the 9/11 Commission recommendations", with the exception of cargo inspections, I don't think any of the whiners have been specific and they seem to forget we've been safe for half a decade.

Great job as usual phsstpok, unending work here.
I think it will be interesting to listen to the stalking points that have been fed to ned lamont the worlds second dumbest senator wannabe after nelson of fla.
This guy is nothing but a rich phony and a conn man, I doubt he will have any solutions at all except it's time for someone else,! Well we all know whatever GW does is wrong but where are their solutions?
