Team Bush Security co. - 'Ma'am, we have secured the windows to your home, the doorways, the vents and all conduits into and running out of your home. Your house is now secure.'
Concerned Housewife - 'But the garage door is wide open...'
Team Bush Security Co. - 'Well, we got what we could, ma'am...'
Concerned Housewife - 'And what happens if any more robbers come in through the garage and kill more of my children?'
Team Bush Security Co. - 'Well, here is a local mortician I have worked with over the years, ma'am...a really nice guy.'
No one forgot to tell the Chechnyans.
The Chechnyans have the advantage of years of neglect by the Russians and have a large population inside Russia also that they hide among.
The Russian security problems with Chechnya would be far worse without their border security.
I once knew a man who smuggled Bibles into Russia when it was the Soviet Union. He spoke of the huge difficulties getting anything into Russia despite its large borders.
He simply could not drive up and get waved through after a cursory inspection (if that)as happens to most people coming into the US over the Mexican border.
" people shilling for union special interests "
You can forget that one. The AFL-CIO contributes heavily to MALDEF.
MALDEF is for people who are already HERE. They pretend to embrace Amnesty, because they are a liberal group dependant on all workers to maintain power. But if they were really such champions of open borders, they wouldn't be such outspoken critics of NAFTA, because theoretically they have no stake in individual companies.
Chechnya was one example. People and goods are brought into Russia over countless other borders. Finnland. Afganistan. China. Ukraine. As a matter of fact, now that Ukraine is asserting its independence, I question wether ANY of Russia's borders can be considered closed. And you can drive a car from the countries of Russia's enemies all the way to Moscow. Meanwhile, our enemies live across vast oceans.
" And you can drive a car from the countries of Russia's enemies all the way to Moscow. Meanwhile, our enemies live across vast oceans."
Which is exactly why our borders should be even easier to secure.
So lets do it!
Russia's borders are not secure. There is no reason to secure our other than to help unions artificially inflate wages.
"I don't need to guess on this one, come on RS, neither do you. They spoke out against Islam...were threatened, then slaughtered in Islamic Tradition."
Terrorism is to terrorise, not to kill a few people - Without this being listed on FR, I would never have heard about it. Are you telling me that terrorists have beome so amateurish now that they have lost the concept of publicity for their cause ?
"Russia's borders are not secure. There is no reason to secure our other than to help unions artificially inflate wages."
Russia's borders are far more secure than ours.
And this is about preventing nukes from being exploded in our cities; it is NOT about 'bidnismin' making another nickel by importing cheap labor.
What are the odds of getting caught on the Mexican Border, 1 in 10 ? 1 in 20 ?
What are the odds of getting caught on the Canadian border with professional forgeries, or documents procured under false names which are NOT on the watch lists ?
Given enough money and resources, do you think you could figure a way in with much less then a 1 in 20 of being snagged ?
From a practical standpoint, it is impossible to smuggle nuclear material across the border, due the requirements for safely encasing it. To get it here, the terrorists would HAVE to use a shipping container.
Follow the dollar. These people hate eachother because they compete directly with eachother. God is secondary. It gives them an excuse to act.
Just keep on whistling past the grave yard. You are just like many status-quo-addicted Brits, French and Americans during the 1930s. In total denial. And I am a "drastic warmonger," like Churchill. Good day!
"From a practical standpoint, it is impossible to smuggle nuclear material across the border, due the requirements for safely encasing it."
LOL, havent you been keeping up with current events, bubba?
They have been using SUICIDE bombers all over the globe, what on Earth makes you think that they would have aproblem getting this stuff through because of safety concerns?
Good greif, wake up!
I am a Churchill Warmonger. You are an hysteric. Winston was anything BUT an hysteric. China has been unable to do anything about a rogue province located 100 miles off its shore for over fifty years. They can threaten us in no way but nuclear. For now, MAD means that they won't. Eventually, it will mean that they can't. But if worrying matters of no consequence is what gets you out of bed in the morning, more power to you.
I refuse to go round and round on this with you. This is the third time I've pointed out that it has nothing to do with their willingness to die that I am referring to. It is the fact that direct contact with enough radioactive material to make such a bomb would KILL THEM IN FIFTEEN OR SO MINUTES. Ever see the movie K-19. Just like that. They'd never MAKE it across theborder. And any lead container strong enough to protect them would need to be moved by forklift and heavy truck. Other countries have looked at dirty bombs before and dismissed them for this reason. They are impractical science fiction.
That's it, I'm done arguing with fools on this subject. Either you get it you don't.
Wow! I must have been on line too long yesterday because I misread your lead line as: "Boston Terrier Threat Probed".
I tried to reply then and was informed the thread was pulled! And here you are again today. Anyway, I was greatly relieved to learn that Boston Terriers were not a problem after all. LOL!
Hey this is your raw nerve, not mine. I advocate taking a hard line against a Communist country with nuclear weapons and a mutual defense pact with Russia. No amount of money I have made from moving factories to the PRC, no amount of money you have made from it, nor money made by Joe Blow from it, will change my mind. Never show weakness to Communists, and defeat them.
LOL, of course they could sheild it enough to allow them to live long enough to get it across the border. This false dichotomy you create is transparent.
If you want to take your toys and go home, fine by me.
But the open borders are a security breach to our antion and need to be placed under control NOW!
Part of the reason we defeated the Eastern Block was because the people discovered capitalism. The same thing will happen in China. Communism does not work as a long-term economic policy. Meanwhile my raw nerve is people who see a terrorist threat at the Mexican border because idiots like Michael Savage tell them to. Those who worry about China militarily are too dumb to realize that they'd have to swim here to attack us. And, I hate to break it to you, but the Russians have always hated them more than we do. If they were going to attack anybody, it'd be Russia. China has next to no natural resources. Russia has more than we do and is weaker. Money is the only reason any other country besides the USA would ever be willing to go to war.
