New York officials were given a one-page tally that explained, in part, how the region's risk-based standing was calculated. The document said the region had no "national monuments or icons."

90% of the population in both cities sees the administration as a bigger threat than terrorists so they should feel safer now. Right?

[NapkinUser]

Oh boo hoo. The world doesn't revolve around you New York, you too California.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Thanks for joining. Now leave.

Hey dumbo. Get the Albany yahoos to tax us some more and protect the "monuments"

idiot democrap.

I believe she belongs to us.

they have basically turned federal homeland security spending - into pork projects for local governments all across the country.

[jebeier]

As Mayor Bloomberg says, "Nobody ever arrested a terrorist with a map of a cornfield in his pocket."

New York is a target. It makes sense to spend the money where the target is. Homeland Security money is turning into just one more big barrel of pork.

When they cut funding to Baltimore, the mayor went on TV and called the Commander in Chief a terrorst.

[inkling]

NYC has received the lion's share of Homeland Security funds for the past five years. What about the rest of the nation? Terrorists don't only go after the marquee targets, but also look for the weak link (i.e., Beslan). Not surprisingly, Peter King is jumping at another opportunity to bash the CinC during wartime.

[eleni121]

Have at this idiot. He wants more money for NYC. LOL

Adminstration to New York: "Drop Dead"

Hmmm, I believe it was actually New York, a la Hevesi, just told Bush to drop dead, that Schumer would shoot him between the eyes.

[Jameison]

I think the New York papers have gone a bit overboard on this one today.
It's not just The stupid Slimes, even the normally conservative New York Post had to have a go too.
I think I detect more than a whiff of typical New York arrogance here.

Just look at the the Post's front page headlines today :

"Feds slash our funds to boost hicks in sticks"

http://www.nypost.com/

Now how do you like that?
That's arrogance and condescension for you right there.
The fact that I live here doesn't mean I am going to condone such hysteria.

[inkling]

Bush better do what they say or New York might vote for the Democrats in '08!
(/sarcasm)

[Plutarch]

Your making up a headline, newbie.

NYT has it:

Security Cuts for New York and Washington .

[Minus_The_Bear]

Funny how these clowns suddenly believe there are terrorists!

[rabidralph]

They have been getting money for five years. Are they not fortifying and reinforcing possible targets? After a few years, there should be fewer and fewer items that need to be upgraded. If the money stayed the same, pretty soon, dogs would be wearing bullet-proof vests.

[vetsvette]

I thought that the "so-called War on Terror" was just made up by Bush to justify attacking Iraq to steal their oil. There's no danger to New yorkers -- smile, be happy.

[rightinthemiddle]

Nice photo. France did one thing right.

Why don't you go there? You'll feel more at home.

[Brilliant]

New Yorkers have not been as supportive of the War on Terror as they should be. It's kinda hard to justify pumping dollars into New York when they don't take it seriously. It's just an excuse for pork barrel spending to them.
