Excuse me Senator. How many containter enter the US everyday? How much would it cost to inspect EVERY one?
uhhhhhhh, well, per Dean it isn't my job to offer any solutions....just my job to ATTACK.....(the Republicans)
ooooooops...was that smarmy?
:-)
Fox News just had a "debate" about this port story, with Rich Masters for the dems and some guy I haven't seen for the Republicans...
They started out saying that Bush SHOULD have gone to Congress and explained the deal to them...so they would know what was going to happen...
BUT, the Fox chick asked THE question to Masters...she asked him "how can we be certain that those containers are safe that are coming into our ports"...totally NOT the subject...
Anyway, Masters jumped right on that one...and said it is a disaster that our ports are NOT safe...because of lax container inspection....grrrrrrrrrrr
and even the Republican did NOT point out that these containers are inspected to a certain extent...and our port security starts from the port that they begin from NOT once they arrive here...
PLUS the cost and time delay of inspecting each container is NOT feasible...
Did the 9/11 or first WTC attackers use our port's containers to enter this country??? /s
