Unless and until Bush does something about the Borders, he is not serious about security.

Absurd. I think he's wrong with the border, but to say that a failure in one element of national security is the same as the president not being serious about national security is erroneous. What happened in Afghanistan and Iraq? Why are we holding people at Gitmo? What about the three guys arrested in Ohio day before yesterday? What are the wiretaps all about?

We've had repeated and continuing successes in killing and locking up terrorists before they've struck.

I agree that on the border Bush has dropped the ball on security, but that doesn't negate all the proof that he is serious about national security.

Are you familiar with the term no-go.
In certain endeavors if you fail one aspect of the endeavor you may as well have failed them all.

Say....
Parts left over from working on your car, when you shouldn't have any.
Not properly resealing plumbing after repairs.
Failing to adequately safety and clear a weapon when leaving the range.
Pouring the foundation of a house and not placing Foundation screws.
Fighting a war on terrorism abroad why leaving your southern flank completely exposed.

Fail any one aspect of security, I mean not even trying here, and you have failed the entire project.

You can say I am harsh, but the world is harsher yet. Yes, I'm a real fun guy to train underneath.
