Carol's News and Vues

Welcome! Please take the time to add your own comments so this blog can encourage an exchange of ideas. You can comment anonymously. Since George Bush finally did get elected, we have much to be concerned about in the next four years. I guess that means that this blog will continue.

Our Worst National Security Problem: George W. Bush

"President" Bush says he is trying to do everything he can to protect our homeland.  This has to be one of the most disingenuous claims of all. 

Our ports are underprotected.
We need $8.8 billion over the next 11 years and $1.5 billion immediately, according to the Coast Guard. In 2005, Bush is proposing $46 million for port security.   Even a guy with half a brain and one eye can see how ridiculous that is.

Our public transit systems are underprotected.
We need $6 billion.  Since 2001 Bush has provided just $115 million.

Our air cargo goes uninspected (while we're sitting in the seats above).
We need big enough machines to scan enough cargo fast enough without slowing down commerce.  It's not happening.

Don't let George fool you!  He is not watching out for us.  Let's get rid of him and elect someone who cares about the American people.  Vote for John Kerry and John Edwards November 2nd!
