Democrats and terrorism

At every turn some liberal democratic senator can be heard declaring that we are not doing enough to fight or defend ourselves from terrorists. We are not spending enough. We are not doing enough to protect our chemical factories. We are not doing enough to guard against terror coming in through our ports. Our protection of trains and subways is not sufficient. We should be doing more to protect our food supply. Our borders are too porous and we should beef up that effort. The brilliance of all this is that when we are attacked again...and it will happen...they will come out and point to prior warnings that were not acted on to a sufficient extent or soon enough. The fact that there is no way we can provide unlimited resources to the effort and no way we can maintain a free society and achieve perfect defense. Bush will be blamed in a blizzard of demogoguery for failing at an impossible task.

Both Bush and Congress deserve blame for not setting any priorities in spending the money we do on home security. The slimy congressmen all insist on getting their "share" of the money even though some small town in Kansas is not a high terror target any more than some blue haired old lady is a threat to our air travel. In many cases, the small towns which do get their money just buy real nice police uniforms with it. Pathetic.
