More Dem Complaining
I read this over at NewsMax this morning and just had to shake my head:
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.
The report concludes that gaps remain in federal efforts to secure an array of areas, including ports, borders and chemical plants. There also are still delays in the department's sharing terror alerts and other intelligence with state and local officials, the review said.
Now all of a sudden the Democrats are interested in national security? No matter what the Bush Administration does, they will find something wrong with it. Not that they have any answers of their own, mind you. This quote will get you:
"It would be one thing if the department didn't identify security lapses in the first place, but a more troubling situation when they make promises to the American people and then leave them unfulfilled," Representative Bennie G. Thompson of Mississippi, the committee's top Democrat, said in a statement accompanying the report.
As if you gave a rip about the American people, sir. Your party has proven that the only thing it cares about is regaining its power and damaging the President.
JAS adds: Does anybody have a mp3 or wav file of Harry Reid last week triumphantly crowing to an assemblage of Democrats that he had "killed the Patriot Act"? That, as a practical matter, is the minority party's last word on the subject of homeland security.
