Chechens are nice people of the Muslim faith. They are only emigrating here in order to find work and pursue religious freedom. Why do you characterize them as dangerous? Our country was founded on principles that welcomed everyone, including Chechens. Let's try to be a little more tolerant here please. Give the Chechens a chance to contribute to our culture. Allow them to find a place and add to their communities. Not all Chechens are killers. No point making villians of these emigrants. Let's please welcome them, please.
I was right. You are an idiot. The Soviets couldn't even seal the Berlin Wall, nevermind their own border.
I haven't seen too many terrorist cells riding around in Abrams tanks or massed in neat rows like the British at Yorktown lately. And as for the Germans, all they had to do is fly over the thing.
Maginot expected it to provide an economy of force defense while French mobile forces pivoted on it. The mobile forces were poorly deployed and the German plan was brilliant and daring.
But breached it was, at an incredible cost to the French. They'd still be speaking German in Paris today if not for the Allies.
The border can be secured but not with three thousand border patrol agents. It will not take a Maginot Line. The Southern border is less than three thousand miles and even taken with the Canadian border where in Hades did you come up with ten thousand miles? Including all the coasts are you?
Yeah, I guess you busted me on that one. No terrorist or refugee would ever consider using a boat to get to the US. I think its an Islamic thing ...
Taking the southern border as the 1st priority, it could be quite secure with less than one percent of the defense budget.
On what do you base that estimate? How would you "secure the borders"?
How have ya' been Guru?
I did. And I propose a more workable solution - simply "defeat evil in all its forms". I leave the details up to you.
We haven't even been doing even THAT hard enough. What if some crackpot Democrat managed to pull something off to sway the election, then what are you going to do? Re-evaluate the profiling situaion?
Just as we announce the decrease in military operations in Iraq, and engage in a nice, friendly weapons buy-back program with the "freedom fighters." Oh, geez, I hope we stop all attacks (and defensive measures) in honor of Ramalamadingdong.
Ploy by dnc for tomorrows debates!!! Although all threats to be taken seriously... Kerry is losing his a$$!! Do the math people... DNC PLOY... FODDER FOR DEBATES... KERRY WILL HAVE PLAN FOR BORDER TOMORROW AT DEBATES!!! THIS IS TELLTALE SIGN!! IF HE DOES HAVE PLAN HIS GUILT IS REVEALED!! OF COURSE IT COULD BE JUST ANOTHER POINT OF ATTACK AGAINST BUSH!! ALL NAYSAYERS, DON'T TAKE BUSH'S STANCE ON BORDER AT FACE VALUE. VOTE HIM IN AND HE WILL SEAL BORDER LIKE NOBODY'S BUSINESS!! GET AHOLD OF YOURSELVES!!!
The mosques, Islamic schools, etc., aren't so much border control problems. A lot of the muslims extremists will live here a long time, become citizens, while they are making plans to take over by getting elected into positions in government. I hope its not an all out assault like someone suggested but there are insidious ways that aren't noticed until too late.
One of the men that were convicted in the first World Trade Center bombing lived and worked in my city long before he blew it up.
This is a Bill Gertz story, after all. His reporting is not something I'd get out of bed to bother reading.
How about Marxico. Their against us.
Quit! Silence!
Lets not discuss the millions pouring into our country illegally, and this epic national security time bomb! This can wait until after the election!
Don't upset the apple cart for Bush!
I absolutely agree that President Bush has not done enough to secure the borders...but at least he knows we are at war with terrorism...he doesn't think they are just some low life criminals like Kerry does!
The October surprise would be if a huge terrorist attack is foiled by the Bush administration.
You raise a good point here. How could anyone know for sure that these "terrorists" are Chechens, unless we've already captured them. Unless they've been captured, it's just a story we got from somebody in Mexico or the border area of Arizona. It's an implausible story too, because the Chechens don't have a grudge against the U.S. They hate Russia, whereas Al Qaeda hates America. I wouldn't be surpised if this story was made up by a paid informant in Mexico who's trying to earn his money.
