Where is Mack Bolan when you need him?

"We would be much better off having developmentally disabled Girl Scouts and the local Civil Air Patrol take their place."

If they were after you you'd be pooping your pants Ms. Tough keyboard warrior!

Thank you for the reminder!

Good read IMHO.

Well, I think that in general, once a President issues an Executive Order, another President can cancel it. However, it gets sticky once an order is issued and is intertwined in the actual running of agencies and policies that they follow. A good legal mind could probably explain it better.

Yes, I might poop my pants - from total loss of control due to hysterical laughter.

[lorrainer]

Bump for later !!

Good read IMHO.

Agreed. Unfortunately there's one nation in which we are not seriously fighting this war: The United States of America. Until we rid ourselves of the "PC" mindset that determines, for example, which airline passengers are subject to scrutiny we will be vulnerable to multiple repeats of 9/11.

As I was saying (example from LT Smash blog):

One elderly woman, who walked with a cane, barely managed to maintain her composure as a government agent worked her over with a magnetic wand. Putting her arms straight out to her sides appeared to be a challenge--she had to grip her cane to steady herself a couple of times before she finally was able to maintain her balance.

Well, at least they're not profiling...

From the article:

>>In some cases, that co-operation has led the United States to endorse and enable activities that are deeply unsavoury

This journalist's squeamishness over doing what needs to be done, and/or implicit disapproval of the Administration, sneaks through.

Good article, thanks for posting.

Well, he is a Canadian, after all.

I noticed that too. The mop and pail as some call it up here is a NYT wannabe. Nevertheless I had to look up Djibouti and where Mauritania's capitol is. These places are not on the tip of our tongues at the moment.

[NorseWood]

This fits in with references made in President Bush's speech Sunday night.

[hchutch]

No John Clark? No Ding Chavez? No Brian Caruso? No Dominic Caruso? No J. P. Ryan, Jr.? No Xander Cage?

Someone mentioned Mack Bolan...I pinged all his aliases.
