This is just such a big gamble, national security speaking and politically as well.
And for what? What does anyone gain? Is schmoozing with Fox really worth pissing off the entire base?
The border is not about politics, or economics, or human rights, or anything else. It is about the lives of innocents, which will surely be lost eventually because of this issue. Tragic.
And it makes me furious that politics gets in the way of protecting American lives.
"If any of these terrorists did anything at all, even killing just a few, it would be the end of Bush and Republicans for a long time."
Then the terrorists will have won a big one. I hope we Americans have a lot more brains than that. Hope we can emulate the Brits, during the London blitz: do you think they shamed CHURCHILL for what the Gerry's did???!!! Do you think we Americans flogged FDR for Pearl Harbor? NO, at least there were no thoughts of that for another 40 or 50 years (hind sight, and all that).
Or are you being sarcastic?
