Border PING

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

They can build billion-dollar nuclear-powered aircraft carriers but can't build a security fence along the border. Feh!

From one of Pookie18's FR "Today's Toons" threads:

“Personally, I believe sealing our borders can’t be done, even if we want to,” she said in the conference’s opening remarks.

But we want to turn Iraq and Afghanistan into functioning democracies??

W.T.F.?!

[Old Professer]

Posse Comitatus becomes Posse Comatose?

[SandRat]

D.A.C.O.W.I.T.S. ditz.

[SandRat]

Oh,.... you mean this little thing????

Posse Commitatus

The Posse Commitatus Act, while advisory and customary, is not equivalent to the Constitutional guarantee of border security to the several States. Further, the protectections offered by Posse Commitatus, supposedly precluding the use of military force within the US are at best, illusory. I point you to USC Title X, Section 333

[Rapscallion]

We CAN secure our borders. It is a matter of national will and Leadership. (Please hear that Mr. President) Unless there is an integrated approach all the different security agencies will create "seams" which allow those intent on doing so, to get through the net.

[ARE SOLE]

If people like this "General" and Chertoff feel they cannot do the job we pay them to do they should resign and let someone else take the country's security and sovereignty seriously.


Regards.

One "M" is sufficient.

"The Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security and the FBI have different procedures because of the way they handle their missions....

The one thing they do have in common is a suicidal sense of political correctness infecting all their policies.

General Barbara Fast, Hmmmm.... Wasn't she involved in the Abu Graib mess? Yeah, she was BGen Karpinski's boss. Karpinski took the hit for the mess but fast Barbara got clean off, I believe.
