Feel "safe"???? Homeland Security is doing it's typical-bungling act, as usual. Recently , it's Assisitant Press Secretary was arrested for soliciting a 14-year old girl on the internet. (Who actually was a police officer conducting a "sting") This pedophile actually sent his own picture via e-mail, featuring his "Homeland Security" I.D. badge!!!It seems , again, that political-appointments have superceeded the need for "qualified" staff. One would think, that "Homeland Security" would be able to tell the difference between a 14-year-old girl, and a "police-sting"!!! Most recently one Staff Sargent Daniel Brown was detained at LAX airport, after returning fron service in Iraq. His name appeared on the "No-Fly-List", although he had served two "tours-of-duty", and was wearing his uniform. It seems that during a previous flight to return to Iraq, electronic detectors at the airport found "gunpowder-residue" on his boots. Adopting the philosophy of "No-Man left behind", his unit waited for an hour while the matter was resolved. God help you, if your name happens to "Mohammed", you work in the pyrotechnics industry, or "re-load" your own ammunition. Meanwhile, the MILLIONS of cargo-containers entering our country are totally IGNORED!! It won't take a genius to infiltrate a "safe" shipping company, forge documents, and smuggle a weapon into one of America's harbors!! Meanwhile, the Taliban in Afghanistan, has renewed it's offensives against American troops and Afghani citizens.... due largely to the ENORMOUS profits gained from the record-opium-poppy harvests there. (Afghanistan is the world's NUMBER ONE PRODUCER OF HEROIN!!) Bush's "International-policy" has been one of incompetant chaos.. attacking Iraq based on pre-conceived agendas and lies, formenting vast numbers of NEW Jihadists, and allowing military/industrial contractors to loot, pilfer, and profit. By the way, What ever happened to Rumsfeld's statement that "The oil-revenues from Iraq will pay for the war"???? Gasoline prices are again passing $3.00 per gallon; Mobil Exxon has recorded the LARGEST profit in world-history,( I read recently, that the ACTUAL cost of crude-oil is only two-thirds of what refiners are paying.... the other third is PROFITS paid to "Energy-futures-traders"!!!) and Halliburton is awarded another "N0-Bid" contract.... this time to "rebuild new Orleans"!!! How's that "rebuilding of Iraq" going??? Iraq citizens have LESS electricity, LESS gasoline, and LESS clean water than they had under the Saddam regime!! It's now 1 & 1/2 months until the "hurricane-season" begins again in the Gulf of Mexico. The citizens of New Orleans are systematically being denied their voting-rights by "White" Republicans; efforts have been made to thwart the largely-"black" and Democrat majority from voting "out-of-state". Sounds a lot like FLORIDA 2000 !!!!! These corrupt bastards care NOTHING for "people"; only for their own profits, and will DO ANYTHING , and SAY ANYTHING to win elections!!
