I have never bashed President Bush's administration. He does have certain individuals in responsible positions who are ineffective or incompetent. Tom Ridge is one. Look at the TSA fiasco. These jack-asses have no common sense.

BTW, I was stumping for Barry AuH20 in 1964. Also, read my bio, kiddo.

I find it amusing that only after a political ploy from the left (AZ and NM govs w/ their "states of emergency"), does the hapless administration respond with another hapless call, that they will hold another endless series of do-nothing meetings (read "take another look at the situation".

Living down here in AZ, the illegal problem has been omnipresent for many years, it seems only now that the rest of the country is reeling from their impact, i.e. closing emergency rooms, overbloated welfare systems, overcrowded schools, etc, that something may be done. Those problems have been plaguing us for years with us hicks screaming in an empty hall.

Remember, Bush is now a Washingtonian, not a Texan. When he was gov there, he sang a different tune.

So I will believe it when I see it, until then, this noise coming from Chertoff is just Bush's administration simply trying not to be right-flanked by the left IMO.
