Let's see. Being prepared for attack is a bad thing if done by a Republican administration. The lefties and the media are desperate for some issue any issue to diminish Bush. Weak very very weak.

So being prepared can only mean setting up a cabal of unelected officials who will dictate from the bunkers guarded against you and I?

It couldn't possibly mean that we allow states autonomy and try to ferry away most of our *elected officials* to try to maintain a Constitutional FedGov, right? No, much better to set up an oligarchy dictatorship. That's being prepared, right?

Weak, very, very weak.

Sorry - but the continuation of the government in case of a major attack is a responsibility of the government. I don't see your point but I am not prone to think in terms of conspiracies.

The Marines have taken care of that...

HMX-1 also provides helicopter emergency evacuation and other support as directed by the Commandant of the Marine Corps.
