"Thompson had said he worries "every single night" about a possible terror attack on the food supply, and despite dramatic increases in inspections of food imports, only "a very minute amount" of food is tested at ports and airports."

Alrighty then... (((PING)))

Who cares about poisoned food, we need to divert every homeland security dollar, personnel, resource (and bring back troops from Iraq), to guard the Southern border against Mexican gardeners sneaking across.

>Thompson was the latest of eight memhers to quit Bush's 15 member cabinet<

Are they all just going back into the private sector for financial/family reasons, or do they know something we don't know?

President Bush and Thompson are not stupid,so why are they making these comments?

Maybe they have some strategery going on.

"For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do," Thompson said.

Why don't you give them a free ride to the USA while your at it Tommy?

Sheesh!

Perhaps a collagen job on his lip's is needed.

If he's that worried, why didn't he do something about it while he was in office, rather than waiting until he resigned?

Terence Hunt appears to be another of the many GIM reporters working for the AP writing articles bashing GW, Christians and pushing the gay agenda.

http://search.yahoo.com/bin/search?p=Terence%20Hunt%20gay

One wonders if he is an evil spawn of Al Hunt and Judy WoofWoof.

The only thing I can think of is that Tommy must have felt burned by Bush. This was his parting shot. Comments like his, along with "investigative reports" that show our vulnerability, i.e., lax security at nuclear plants, ease with which the water can be poisoned, etc., infuriate me.

Can you imagine a cabinet member announcing the world our vulnerability during WWII?

When WWII began, the US military was a mess. Our guys practiced grenade throwing by using soup cans. Yet, not a word of this weakness was reported by the press.

People in this country just don't get it yet. We are at war and our enemies watch cable TV and read the internet.

I'd sure like someone to tell me what the program would be and how much it would cost to:

1. Check all of the food consumed in the US.

2. Check every ocean shipping container coming into the US.

3. Search the holds, engine rooms, storage areas, crew quarters and all the hiding places on every ship that docks at a US port.

4. Open and examine the contents of every piece of air cargo coming in and going out of the US.

5. Stop every vehicle crossing the Mexican Border into the US and search it and positively identify all the occupants.

6. Put enough people on the Mexican Border to watch every foot of it 24 hrs. a day.

6. Check every vehicle crossing the Canadian Border.

7. Put enough people on the Canadian Border to watch every foot of it 24 hrs. a day.

8. Examine and check the background of every passenger and that passengers luggage on every flight coming into the US from out of our country.

9. Put a defensive perimeter around every source of drinking water that exists in the US.

10. Test drinking water that is going to every home, office, factory in the US and test if frequently enough so no one can receive contaminated water.

11. Put defensive perimeters around every oil refinery, chemical factory, electric power plant, gas and oil pipe line in every location that exists in the US.

12. Put a defensive perimeter on the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific Coasts of the US so no one can come into the US via that route.

Every one that is bitching about their favorite thing that "isn't being done" step up and tell me how it all can be done and what it will cost to do it.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. Thompson must have been asked to resign, and he's not happy about it.

Thompson is such a dork. Isn't it unusual for one of these people to try to justify their job when they're already gone?

Tommy wanted to move to Homeland Security... This apparently was his parting shot when he didn't get it.

Could Tommy keep his mouth shut until he's gone, at least?

"For the life of me, I cannot understand why the terrorists have not attacked our food supply because it is so easy to do," Thompson said. "We are importing a lot of food from the Middle East, and it would be easy to tamper with that."

That has got to be one of the stupidest things I've heard a public official say.

"Dear Terrorists: Here is how to get us, you idiots!"

If they haven't already thought of it, now they have it!

Any word on whether Tommy Thompson has emerged from under his bed yet?
