In context of... say... NASCAR ? That's Dale Earnhart, Jr., having just been rammed by another driver and being driven off the track, sitting in the pits waiting for repairs... telling dumbstruck reporters that he's far more concerned about the potential that a purposeful manufacturing defect could cause a tire failure and thus derail all his plans... Does no one in the media see... the practical difference between a vague, improbable and unrealized risk... and a risk that was being denied as a risk, that is now a REALIZED risk ? And, then... given the nuke issue is suddenly his "number one concern"... GIVEN FIVE YEARS TO ADDRESS IT... WHERE'S THE POLICY INTENDED TO FOCUS ON AND ADDRESS THE PROBLEM ? "Homeland Security officials agreed that they should study the cost and effectiveness of expanded radiation mapping in additional cities. Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., called the report further proof the federal government is not doing enough to help cities guard against terrorism. The hot spot mapping initiative "should also be shared with cities across the country, not mothballed because the Homeland Security Department doesn't want to put up the money," Schumer said. cleveland.indymedia.org All you can see here... is a video game president... THAT divorced from reality that he can't tell what's real. telegraph.co.uk
