In what can be called a massive restructuring and combining of government agencies, President Bush addressed the country this evening and outlined his proposal for elevating the Department of Homeland Security to a cabinet position. In this new cabinet position, the following agencies will be consolidated into one mission, homeland security: the Coast Guard, the Border Patrol, the Customs Service, Immigration officials, the Transportation Security Administration, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. In addition to sharing information among all of these different agencies, the Department of Homeland Defense will be charged with four tasks:
1. To control our borders and prevent terrorists and explosives from entering our country.
2. To work with state and local authorities to respond quickly and effectively to emergencies.
3. To bring together our best scientists to develop technologies that detect biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons, and to discover the drugs and treatments to best protect our citizens.
4. To review intelligence and law enforcement information from all agencies of government, and produce a single daily picture of threats against our homeland. Analysts will be responsible for imagining the worst, and planning to counter it.
The President urged Americans to call their representatives and encourage them to support the plan. Enjoy your daily dose of Dubya!

Ever since I heard our President's speech, I've been thinking how reassuring it must have been for all Americans. Kinda like a big sigh of relief after all the frightening news about terrorism. Like Daddy will take care of us scared kids.
I'm so glad he said to call our congresscritters because that should point up to the reluctant voters how important it is to give the President the support of Congress. Let's hope they remember it in the fall.
Also, CNN played his speech on radio in its entirety, and kept playing parts of it for the rest of the day. That's good! The sheeple might actually have heard it. The libs will now say that Dubya was forced to do it because of THEIR questioning the 9/11 attack! It's our job to tell them that Dubya asked for this, as patriciaruth said, in his speech right after 9/11.

Maybe I'm wrong then, I couldn't listen to Rush today. I was assuming the clip they played on NBC was in response to the speech, rather than before. The part they played was positive towards the proposal, however.

I saw Lieberman on Fox tonight and he seemed actually supportive.
Yeah - they had one of California Gov. Grey-out Davis' top aides on the local radio station after Bush's speach, and even he was quite supportive of this, going on about he had been working with Tom Ridge's office the last six months and they had been very helpful. There was hardly a negative remark in the whole thing. It was strange to hear a liberal Democratic operative talking that way.
To: rintense
Great pictures tonight, as usual. Thanks for all that you do rintense. I look forward to DITL every night.
To: NordP
PETA alertI heard a PETA babe on the radio tonight and I hereby issue a BARF alert: PETA thinks we should eat roadkill if we insist on eating meat. Otherwise we should become vegetarians. Is that insane or am I overreacting???? They were somewhere on a street corner handing out samples. EEuuuwww!

The libs will now say that Dubya was forced to do it because of THEIR questioning the 9/11 attack!
The libs were doing that even before Bush spoke. Dan Rather came on the radio for some daily little editorial piece he does, and after going on about all the problems being uncovered in the workings of the FBI, CIA and other parts of the administration, finished his bit noting that
and then on the very same day, Bush decides to make a recommendation that the Office of Homeland Security be made a Cabinet level position, or some words like that. The insinuation being quite clear that Bush was trying to distract everyone from the troubles being exposed in his administration.
To: okimhere
Yeah...that's more than a little weird. You'd think they would be all over what caused the roadkill to begin with, and not what to do once it's happened. Well...thinking with THEIR brains, anyway.

Oh, I hope YOU'RE right, and I'm wrong. As you say, we'll find out on Monday. Tomorrow is Walter Williams.
