What is wrong with the Republican leadership? I see Larry King with his round table of a couple of journalists, Ex-Gov Bill Graham and Senator Kay Hutchinson. This after Howard Dean makes his pathetic play to a national audience.

They get into a discussion of homeland security and the republican enemies start harping on how -0- has been done to secure the ports and the borders and Hutchinson just sits there and takes it. Well of course it's IMPOSSIBLE to secure a free country, hence our decision to plop down smack in the middle of Islamoland and get busy building human intel links. We have no chance of averting a large scale attack by pissing off all the good people to try and catch a hider (on an airliner or cargo ship or border). We only have a chance by building human intelligence. It's obvious we knew jack shit about the ME before Afghanistan and Iraq. The Administration understandly fully the futility of trying to avert the disaster on the back end. All they can ask is for every citizen to act as a militia man for the republic.

The front end (establishing human intel links in the badlands) is where the plots will be uncovered. Did Hutchinson say anything like this. No.

Shame on the Republicans for being so benign in the face of this negative onslaught.
