This an example of even the President having no power over events. The inconsistency of ordering an investigation while he is "hot" over the mistakes made by INS and then pushing through amnesty provisions that allows for less border security is NOT rational.

His statements regarding nuclear weapons being used for tactical purposes in the war against terrorism just encouraged the US to be targeted for its own nuclear injury.

Public staements are getting a little far-out in this administration. Rationalizing weapons of mass destruction just legitimizes the terrorists opposed against us as being rational when they consider their use.

Legitimizes the terrorists? How so? Do you mean that us even discussing the use of nuclear weapons against them somehow will somehow give them the go-ahead to use them against us (if they have them)?

I don't give a hoot about 'words'. What I care about is "ACTION"! PERIOD!

I want OUR 'american representatives' (that we have elected) to ENSURE that these bureaucrats (INS) do THEIR JOB in prohibiting/tracking/KICKING OUT the BAD APPLES!!!

ESPECIALLY, the ones with the already BAD RECORDS / ARREST WARRANTS, ETC....

Regardless of the administration's wisdom in making these statements, do you really think that the terrorists are evaluating what weapons to use based on our official position?

I think that they have adequately demonstrated that they will act utterly irrationally (from our point of view) and use any weapon at their disposal in the most devastating way that they can.
