Until he closes the borders, we will never be safe.I am uninterested in living in a box because you are afraid. The damage to the American econonmy by sealing our borders ranks right up there with a Clinton Presidency.

Can you comprehend RE-ORGANIZATION? As in bad people out, Bush people in? ONE boss not 100? Getting smart and SHARING information and planning as if we're at WAR??? Which we ARE. And I don't see how you can be really watching as President Bush said specifically that it was NOT and expansion, but a reorganization - he even gave specifics. Sheesh

Exactly what is explosive about giving different agencies a more cenral mode of government?
First we already have this by law. Unfortunately it has been politically watered. Adding another central agency will only add to the problem. The answer is to keep the solution simple. Bush needs to do what he should have done when he was elected. Clean house. Both the FBI and CIA need a bad house cleaning. Adding another agency will only add to the current problems. If you can't understand how Washington works, then stay to what you really are good at.

According to Andy Card, WH Chief of Staff, there will no additional money required except the $37.1 billion he requested for Homeland Security. In fact, there will be streamlining!A billion here, a billion there, pretty soon that will add up to some real money.

Because of this thread I posted his speech so everyone could read what he had to say. The person that posted this doesn't have the foggiest what they are talking about! But then I don't suppose they would want to read the speech in its entirety either -- doesn't suit their purpose!

About six billion humans on earth...
And about 100 million democrats.

This has nothing to do with Christianity. This has everything to do with survival. Yours, mine and the other five billion 998 thousand other people. But doing what is right not what is politically correct is more important.

>>>>>>The first and best way to secure America's homeland is to attack the enemy where he hides and plans, and we're doing just that. We're also taking significant steps to strengthen our homeland protections -- securing cockpits, tightening our borders, stockpiling vaccines, increasing security at water treatment and nuclear power plants.>>>>>>
Good... The motion for the Republic to commission a Grand Army to combat this Jihadists threats takes precedent...Excellent.....
(smiling)
Everything is going as planned.

"I don't want the government intruding on me."Who cares what you want! I want the government to intrude on terrorists.
