“It’s a Dick Cheney who thinks that the way you fight Islamic terrorism is to hire a bunch of third rate TSA inspectors”
Did you think you were on Huff Po? Did you get lost?
Nope. I live in DC. I see what the idiots in the Bush administration did. Our economy was sinking like a rock long before O even thought of running. Who did that? A bunch of bushies going around putting rocks in eveyone's backback to make sure thata no one could run very fast so it would be easier to catch the terrorists. Well guess what. Out of a population of 300,000,000 in the country how many are terrorists? Suppose I spot you 1,000, which I don't actually believer. That is one in 300,000.
Now suppose we increase the drag line on the US economy by 1% per capita for counter terrorism - it is a lot more than that actually. What is the cost? About $100B is the answer. What is the cost per potential domestic terrorist that I spotted you? About $100M. Think there might have been a cheaper way? Think this strategy was pure genius or pure stupidity.
Have any idea how much this idiocy costs? No, I didn't think so.
I am not in the 0 camp. But You idiots need to know how Republicans dug their own grave.
