I think that if we get hit again in a way that can be attributed to inadequate security, the country will turn on Bush Turn from Bush to whom? Howard Dean? You've got to be kidding me.

How much is enough?..if we get hit again in a way that can be attributed to inadequate security How much security is enough Karen? There are so many ways we are vulnerable. And right now, so many people on the left, and some on the far right that are screaming about our freedoms being taken away.... What would you do about airplanes, for instance? One marshal per plane...or many? Eye retina checks for everyone? Phone taps on everyone? Re other ways.... Food...and mass distribution of it...How would you make sure that no one in ANY food packaging line had anything like anthrax, or cyanide, etc to include with your salads? Water...How would you watch every square inch of shoreline in the entire country? Ports...How many do you think we should hire to inspect EVERY single container that ever comes in to this country? Are random checks enough? Do the unions that watch these places conduct the inspections? Or will some of the left holler harassment if there is an attempt to inspect the inspectors? and speaking of Ports....what would you do to protect the Ports from EVERY single ferry, sailboat, cruiser, tug, barge, and other larger ships? Do you think anyone of these could have explosives in them? Or bio or chemical items? I do agree as you know, that a very sincere effort needs to be taken to keep illegals out. BUT we will also have to stop the groups sponsoring these folks from entering this country illegally, and also stop the lawyers from immediately screaming that these people are refugees from 'whatever tin pot country' they are fleeing from. How would any single Administration and Congress BTW protect us from every evil? How much security is enough in EVERY single possible vulnerable area?
