The US has a totally disfunctional INS... not a word about fixing that... What I see is Bush sweeping up the dirt and putting under the homeland security RUG.. and a wipeing of the hands together with the words "and thats that!"...

The only thing missing is a Curley(Howard) salute and a Curly shuffle out of the oval office... and I'M NOT LAUGHING!... WHO elected this guy ?...

(( ME ! )).. leaving out the back door, embarrased

"What I see is Bush sweeping up the dirt and putting under the homeland security RUG.. and a wipeing of the hands together with the words "and thats that!"...

Did you catch the televised briefing the President gave of his new immigration reform?

I did.

I sensed a great sense of urgency - even a sense of anxiety I've rarely detected in Bush and among his staff.

As he introduced his staff, starting from Secratary of State Colin Powell down to his Homeland Seucrity Secratary, Tom Ridge, I noticed the expressions on the faces of each of these men as they were introduced.

Expressions say many things.

I kept watching the face of one of the president's staff as they were being introduced, in succession of order of precedence according to their jobs.

I have met and conversed with the Secratary of ATF personally, so I focused in on the expression of his face as the names were being called.

It was an expression of remaining calm and almost had the look of not "wanting" to be introduced at this particular briefing.

It was a big deal and all the heavy hitters were there.

The "jitters" were flying and my impression is a "bomb" has exploded right in the middle of the administration and Dubya is doing damage control.
