Democrats Charge Homeland Security With Not Doing Its Job

The Democrats will never cease to amaze me. They're like Palestinians without bombs. They stand in the way of every effort to protect this country and then complain that it's not protected.

The Homeland Security Department, created in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has failed to fulfill 33 of its own pledges to better protect the nation, according to a report released Tuesday by House Democrats.

Compiled for 13 Democrats on the House Homeland Security Committee, the report analyzes public statements and congressional testimony on Bush administration security goals since 2002.

— Compile a single, comprehensive list prioritizing protections for the nation's most critical and potentially vulnerable buildings, transportation systems and other infrastructure.

So they can then leak it all to the press and broadcast it to our enemies.

— Install monitors at borders and every international seaport and airport to screen for radiation material entering the country.

They're already complaining that we are monitoring sites for radiation. I guess they need more sites to complain about us monitoring.

— Install surveillance cameras at all high-risk chemical plants.

How about all plants? We might as well, they'll complain about us being selective otherwise.

— Create one effective network to share quickly security-related intelligence and alerts with state, local and private industry officials.

I'm sure Jamie Gorelick will help with that.

— Track foreign visitors through a computerized system that takes their fingerprints and photographs as they enter and exit the country.

Yes, but don't follow any of them while they're here and don't look at any of their emails. Definitely don't even try to do anything if they come into the country illegally. No if they do that give them free schooling and health care, hand them a driver's license.

When these clowns had had the White House and the Senate terrorism was just an issue of law enforcement.

These folks are acting like a 5th colunm, if you don't think so read devildog6771's post at Hello Iraq
