TO All,

I think it would be a mistake to think that finding this cache of deadly materials is evidence that we have neutralized or contained the threat of OBL's AlQaida. Someone commented a couple of days ago that the real threat is not from the AlQaida in Afghanistan or even the rest of the middle east, it is from the ones already in this country and those in other friendly countries. So much deadly material and devices could have been smuggled into this country, and so many "sleeper" terrorists could already be here that it is dangerous to assume that any threat is contained. The INS, and the State Dept, do not seem to be doing their jobs in having a sensable regard for the nations safety. I am refering to both immigration policy and keeping track of prior immigrants. Also there is NO emphasis being put on deporting illegal immigrants.

Their "political correctness" can get significant numbers of the rest of us killed.

"Their "political correctness" can get significant numbers of the rest of us killed."

I agree 100%. So, what do we do?

That is in part what I was trying to convey.

That's because the Tyson Chickens of the world won't survive with out them....

The government's (both parties at every level up to and including Bush) blind eye to illegals has redefined "free market" and "let the market decide", remember that the next time you hear the "free market", "let the market decide" mantra from the corporate puppets...Oh yea and don't forget it's all because of Unions and those evil high wages we need demand.....
