Thread 311
Oh that is not fair .. yes there are some problems .. but alot of these agents put their lives on the line to protect this country .. I am not willing to just dump on them because the management sucks
Oh I don't know I read gun sales shot up after 9/11 .. even the leftist are arming themself
As for the gangs .. when you have poor drug infested neighborhoods these thing tend to happen .. not sure how to fix that
And like I said .. if they attack us again .. I would not want to be an Arab or a Muslim in this country .. there are already many trigger happy folks who are itching for some justice .. I am thinking it will not be pretty
Greg was a Cop right??
Well there are a few bad screwed up Cops .. does that make all Cops bad .. No it does not
I am not saying there are not problems in the FBI, CIA, INS and a few other Government Departments and yes there needs to be a clean up but not ALL of these people are bad
Actually, Mo....those words could come back to haunt them and 'bitethemontheirownasses'!!!
Imagine a large Senatorial Chamber with a gazillion media photographers & journalists & CSPAN's cameras running.....all the committee members are there and of course many Senators preening and getting their jabs in and repeating this 'what did you know and when did you know it routine'....and then it is the turn for a Condaleezza Rice to talk.....and talk she does....as she provides LARGE charts showing the amount of $$$$ that has decreased year after year for intel and military purposes; charts showing how the NSC has been pulled away from doing their work as Congress demands more and more of their time and resources; charts showing how Congress has withheld $$$$ for budgetary increases for NSC sufficient to hire highly qualified intel officers.
And then, each of the intel agencies head gets up and recites their cutbacks and hampering laws.
And then have someone like Condaleezza or Colin Powell tell the committee they now knows what the Admin has uncovered about the real reason 911 happened.
Yes and there are also many over here that put their butts on the line also
And as in any profession there are always a few bad screwed up people like Hassen
I'm sure sorry I missed that!
Anyway, I'm off to bed. Talk to y'all tomorrow. G'nite.
*Hugs*
This is where Rowdee comments were about .. and yes some things need to be corrected
Mo, federal agencies are too big and have usurped too much power with dismal results
Well my guess is if this country continues to be attacked these Federal Agencies will have no choice but to start showing better results .. because the outrage from the public will not be quite
Val I don't mean to bug out on you like this .. but I really am beat
Rowdee .. The more I think of Condi or Powell appearing before Congress the more I like .. Good idea .. LOL
Nighty Night and Sweet Dreams Y'all
Its just like the innuendos that Bush knew they were gonna do the suicide crap on 911. This may sound weird, but I was offended that the President of the United States, regardless of who he/she is, feels compelled to have to say publicly they had no knowledge.
Why, in this case, weren't the front people out there with the stony stares right into the eyes of these bastard questioners saying something like, "we wouldn't even hint that the former President, for all his warts and wrinkles, would stoop to such a vile, horrible act--what makes you think this President would be worse than the former President"?
It can't be due to the GOP thinking the Dems will think bad of them.....fer cryin out loud, the Dems have no problem daily standing in the well of the House and calling them 'mean-spirited, starvers of children, toss 'em into the street villains against seniors, hooligans for homelessness' etc. So let the Dems add the words, 'mean talkers'---b-i-g frigging deal!!
God forgive me, but often I wonder, do these guys have dynamite strapped on under their Tommy Helfingzer (sp?) oversize shirts?
Val, I'm heading for the north 40, too.....hold the fort down.....Goodndight.
It's ok .. you are frustrated just like we all are and pissed off that we can't do a lot more to prevent these types of attacks
I wish I had answers .. I wish I knew what to do and I wish that the attacks won't happen again but I know the will so in the mean time .. I prepare myself .. and yes arm myself and say a whole lot of prayers ..
I also thank God everyday Bush is President because then I have hope we can get through this and fix what needs to be fix and protect ourselves in the proper way .. now only if I could have that same kind of faith in Congress ..
Ok .. now I am off to bed . Nighty Night
Sadly we live in a time where this could happen and I know the feeling .. When I go to the mall those thoughts have crossed my mind ..
Times have changed my friend .. times have changed
