Bush could fire the bozos responsible for this action. I would.
----------------------------
He'll never do it. Bush has a type of distant unincisive personality that doesn,t like domestic confrontation with any degree of controversy. Something safe like bombing ragheads thousands of miles away is his style.
Remember how Reagan wanted to fold BATF into the Secret Service?
The Homeland Security bill which passed the House (HR 5710) takes BATF away from Treasury and brings it under the Justice Dept. Not as far as I'd like to see (would have preferred disbanding BATF and simply absorbing its 'functions' into Justice) but an important step.
