As I sit here this morning listening to him speak while preparing to sign this bill, I wonder how many other Americans are absolutely astonished to what lengths he will go to defend this country from terrorism, all the while leaving our borders wide open to the terrorists.

Especially when you consider the following. We currently have about 11,000 Border Patrol agents. We are spending $1B per day in Iraq. Let's say we hired 10,000 new Border Patrol agents, the very best people we could find, and paid them all $100K per year ($385 per day for a 5-day work week). The cost of those new agents amounts to $3.85M per day, which equals 0.39% of what we spend in Iraq per day. Yet our borders remain wide open. The amount of new agents is a trickle at best. Worst of all, we have a President insulting every American with lines like "doing the jobs Americans don't want to do" and expressing thinly-veiled desires for an amnesty plan. Not exactly what I call conservative or smart.

It's absolutely insulting to the intelligence of the American people and a slap in the face to all Republicans. That he would risk everything for the OBL by dividing the party and now chumming immediately to Calderone and Pelosi which was a huge red flag, the whole Rumsfeld thing....aghh. well it needs repeating that the OBL must be stopped. I wish people would grasp the bigger picture and understand exactly what their agenda is and how dispicable it is that our leadership, Republicans AND Dems alike, would sell us out. The only way to win the WOT is for Republicans to unite in an effort to stop them because they've invested so much already into their agenda and they're going to pass this 'amnesty' in the spirit of some concocted 'bipartisan compromise' and we will lose the WOT in our own backyards. And we need the anti-OBL Leadership to step forward immediately and lead the way on this.
