"I can't wait for you to tell us all what the "political objective" is (concerning the USGC). Do tell. Be extremely and painfully specific. I am waiting."

I do not know what your after, but if you can't see the politics in this latest directive, then your lost. Placing the USCG under another newly appointed political agency is a slap at every coastie who ever served. This newest move was surely to upstage the US Senate. Just like the appointment of Ridge was. 170,000 folk is what? Streamlining?

Let me be simple to you. Its the USCG who should be leading the Homeland Defense of the United States. Not some political jerk. Get it!?

You are proposing a military dictatorship to solve the problem. How interesting. Wonder why the globalist advisors to Bush didn't think of that.

That was all I expected you to provide. Thanks any way.

My cousin is in the Coast Guard. I have great respect for the people.

The US Army is still mad that the Army Air Forces were separated from them in 1947 as the US Air Force.

Reorganization worked there, didn't it?
