No offense to these brave Cubans, and I'm glad they're here safely, but these kinds of landings speak volumes about the failure of the Bush Administration to protect out borders. Virtually anyone who wants to can land a boat on our shorelines, and offload terrorists carrying dangerous chemical or biological materials. Or they can run a boat into one of our harbors and have a nice tactical or even a small strategic nuke aboard. ----------------------------------------- Speedboat smuggles 13 Cubans into U.S. MARATHON, Fla. (AP) Thirteen Cuban migrants were picked up by U.S. Border Patrol agents after being smuggled into the Florida Keys aboard a speedboat, an official said. Members of the group said they left from Cuba on Friday night, and the boat left them on Duck Key, about 90 miles southwest of Miami, around 3 a.m. Saturday, Border Patrol supervisor Kerry Heck said. The group had made it to shore by the time they were spotted, and will therefore likely be allowed to stay in the country. When border agents arrived, the boat was gone, and the group - which included 11 adults, a 3-year-old girl and a 6-year-old boy - gave no information about their smugglers. Heck said the group would be taken to a Border Patrol office, then to the Krome detention center in Miami before they are released. All of them said they have family members in Florida, who will pick them up when they are released. Under the "wet foot, dry foot" policy, Cubans who reach U.S. shores are generally permitted to stay, while those caught at sea are usually taken back. One of the great fallout's of Iraq and Afghan is the Libya folding on WMD's. We have now found they were at least 10 times more likely to have a nuke shortly than intelligence sources figured. So maybe we survive longer. |

If a large cargo ship has a 25' walkaround loaded with a suitcase nuke, and they unload it in the middle of the night, there is no way to differentiate that boat from the hundreds of others that will be returning to harbor one Saturday after fishing. The only way to diminish the threat is to go into the countries where these guys live and kill every one of the *******s that don't wave an Amercian flag whenever a column of our M1A1's are rolling by. We invaded Afghanistan...and the liberals whined. We invaded Iraq, and the liberals whined some more. We pressured Lybia into disarming, and the liberals dismissed it as irrelavent. We recently placed sanctions on Syria (likely just a harbinger of a future military action there), and the liberals say Bush isn't doing enough. I realize it's an election year, but you guys have lost your marbles. |

If you're so hot to trot, why don't you sign up for some near the front dentistry assignments? You're sorta like Bush on this matter...talk tough but let the others do the walk. |

I'm a lot like Bush except in one way: I wouldn't have taken the time to painstakingly differentiate between the "innocents" and the "terrorists". Following 9/11, the entire Middle East would have been rubble if my finger was on the button. |

I realize it's an election year, but you guys have lost your marbles. No, you don't have to put soldiers on the ground. That's what Sranoff Attack Weapons and Precision Guided Munitions are for. After-all, thats what GPS was invented for. Not to get lost fisherman or sailors home, but to bombs on the ears of bad guys w/o blowing up the baby milk factory next door. Sorry to be OT - but at least I teid it in. Fishfan |

So maybe we survive longer. "10 times more likely"??????? How and where did THIS come from? How was a baseline established to come up with this 10 times thing? Please provide references. |
