And, they don't have the armor they need, so in effect, they're often as defenseless as if they were driving down route 95. The "intel" the Bush Misadministration "acts" upon is so bad that we have no way of knowing whether threats to our homeland are real or nonexistent. Why, after all that has been revealed about our ****-poor intel would anyone believe the Bu****es about anything? AFter 9-11 happened on his watch, Bush should have jumped from a helicopter into the still-smoldering ruins of the WTC. The blame for our intel failure can be placed at the door of Carter and the Democrats of the 80's. We were told to believe in a kinder world and the past actions of the CIA were considered criminal and they were forbidden to engage in tactics that were popular and sanctioned during the height of the cold war. A crippled CIA relied on Satellite intel and had no-one on the ground when needed. Clinton was more interested in disarming America than in foreign enemies (Waco). To be fair, Bush was probably an isolationist but he as a conservative was going to rearm the military after 8 years of consistent budget cuts for the military under Clinton and the fiscally budget conscious congress (Republican). I agree with your statement that we shouldn't rely on good news intel! I feel that the Bush administration is suffering from an erroding base and needs good news to get his numbers up. He has several agendas for US that need to be addressed and they are not being given fair play in the press. (For the most part not the fault of the press. That's our fault for not thinking thru these issues for ourselves.) |

Carter is actually responsible for quietly pumping funds into our submarine
program, something I think was a really good idea. Quite a bit of intel is gathered by those boats, although we don't hear much about that process. |
