That's one of the reasons why I'd like to see it moved over under the Coast Guard. There's an institution that has the "right stuff" to take on the job. The Coast Guard is already part of DHS, so it may even be an internal matter, not requiring legislation.

Wonderful solution! I agree with you about the entrenched bureaucracy, but I hate the hypocrisy on Capitol Hill when senators want to point fingers about how Situation X has not been solved yet. The Federal response to Katrina leaps to mind as an example.
Mary Cheney is just lovely. Congratulations to her mon and dad.
As Vice President Cheney said to President Bush "oh yeah, big time!"
That is one I hope Tony decides to take head on the first time it is raised as a "failure by the Federal government." Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, but they're not entitled to their own facts. Most of the "facts" pushed by the BDS types over Katrina are flat out lies. And when snarlin Arlen or some other weasel chimes in and agrees with them......
ARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
