One more time: I'd either turn the investigation over to someone (or some dept.) more competent or demand the feds to come in with their unlimited resources and have at it. Moose is clearly in over his head.

Read: I'm not saying I'd do any better, but there's too much at stake to be playing Instant Message with a terrorist when we've got illegal aliens using payphones who need deporting....

Dirk, the eyes of the nation are on Moose. Everyone from the White House to main street USA has observed him, and judged him to be a decent capable individual. Do you think for one minute the feds wouldn't take over this case if they thought he was incompetent? Right now we have the Secret Service, the FBI, the military and other agencies coordinating with Chief Moose. None of them are saying what you seem to be. There isn't the slightest hint at incompetence from any other agency. They are all working and contributing like a finely tuned machine. What more could they do under the circumstances? This idiot shooter is operating in a fifty mile radius. How or what do you propose to make this operation more successful? I'd love to hear it. I think the government would too.

I don't think Moose is operating in a vacuum. He has the FBI and the Secret Service helping not only to provide manpower, but to devise strategy. Where have you obtained the opinion that Moose is in over his head? I think the man needs our support and not the slings of arrows at his back.

To me, he may be there because that's what the sniper has demanded; and also, I am not sure how it would look if they did remove him now, do you?

I believe there is a LOT more going on than we know and we'll hear about it when this is all over; until then, we should reserve judgment.

I sure as hell wouldn't want that job, but it fell to him.

You're right DoughtyOne, I was one of those who directed my anger at Chief Moose, when it was really this murderer who should have the country's anger directed toward.

Chief Moose needs our prayers and encouragement to hold up under pressure being the spokesman for those who are strategizing and making the big decisions to catch this guy. There has to be something of that spirit of 911 to rise again to conquor the stifling fear that grips the East Coast.

We also should hold our congressmen/women feet to the fire for not seeing what has been spoken by the President week after week across the country. How our country is still in danger.

Oh, please.

Do you think anyone else wants to touch this hot potato? Not to mention the screaming from Blacks if they disparage Moose.

You'll have Jesse Jackson in the street saying more people died because White People didnt support Moose. The guy is out of his league. He is an embarassment. How this person ever became a chief of police is testament to the fact that Affirmative Action does us all harm.

At the very least, he should replace himself with a professional spokesperson, who can at least speak proper English, and spare us the "dis and dat" ebonics from the Moose(head).

They have probably ruined any chance of catching this guy because of all the leaks and the way they have handled their negotiations. If the sniper goes away, they have NOTHING.

They already blew it, and THAT is why Moose is allowed to remain.
