What the HELL is * doing?

[serryjw]

DHS security cuts New York anti-terror funds by 40%!!Congressman Peter King (R) was on Chris Matthews. He is fumming. Is he making war on his own party OR IS HE MAKING WAR ON CONGRESS? I think he keeps sending them a message that Congress is irrelavent and the White hOuse will do what ever they damn well pleases.. HOW can any one justify a cut to NY(& DC)will all the potential targets?

1. but they got so much last year!

:sarcasm:

we must protect Nebraska corn fields this year! They are #1 on the terrorist list, ya know.

[acmavm]

13. I don't know if more money is going to Nebraska or not, but its not our

damn cornfields that need protecting. It's Offutt AFB, where bush** ran to hid on 9/11. It's always made us a No. 1 priority target, especially during the cold war.

When I was young were used to practice hiding under our desks with our heads tucked as far down between our legs as we could get. It was called the old 'kiss your ass goodbye' plan.

[madokie]

21. by the end of * term we will be having the drills in school I predict

I remember it all too well, I grew up scared shitless and it wasn't right then and it won't be right now. The fallout shelters, I still see a sign from time to time

[capi888]

17. Maybe Bushco knows....where

The next attack will be...polls are low for him....:sarcasm:

[leftofthedial]

2. whatever the wealthiest 1% of Murkans tell him to do

[serryjw]

5. That's the point

If he is pandering all his wealthy buddies live and work on the rock. After katrina it would be devastating to the economy if we had another attack in NYC. What the hell would any one attack in Omaha, NE or Jacksonville, FL?

[cornermouse]

15. Why would anyone attack Omaha or Jacksonville?

Maybe looking for a "softer" target with a large enough population to shock Americans. I agree NYC or Los Angeles or Dallas would probably be high on the list, but I don't think you should consider them the only target.

[leftofthedial]

20. you can't MIHOP again if you have a boatload of HLS brownshirts

to keep track of

treason works best in a vacuum

[eviltwin2525]

8. hah!

If you and I were in that top 1% we'd be just close enough to see exactly how snubbed we'd be by the top 1% of the top 1%, those who actually have real power in Bushistan. Mind you, we'd be so incredibly comfortable, we wouldn't care that we didn't have any real power, and we'd certainly be able to lord it over the other 99% of the unwashed masses, but we would know it.

Eat the rich!

[Why Syzygy]

3. It does look like it is Congress

he's after. I hope they notice and give a damn.

[The_Casual_Observer]

4. There is turmoil behind the scenes. Believe it or not somebody

is keeping track of all the money they have wasted in the last 5 years.

[serryjw]

6. WHO?

Congress that appropriated it?

[driver8]

11. It doesn't matter...there won't be anything left when these criminals

are finished.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. People in the GAO I think.

[Art_from_Ark]

10. Yes, but

as with its debunking of the "White House trashing" non-scandal, and its assessment of the shenanigans in Ohio during Election 2004, if the GAO makes a noise in the bureaucratic jungle but there is no "liberal media" to record the sound, then was a sound actually made?

[Snaggletooth]

9. Justification is in the Eye if the Jackals!

Maybe they need another "convenient" terrorist event to occur, so they can declare martial law and suspend elections. After, the latest Rolling Stone cover, perhaps they're not convinced that fixing the outcome of the elections is going to work this time.

Our Air National Guard had to drop the ball big time, for the first time since they were established in 1947, for 9/11 to happen the way it did. It is just a coincidence that it happened during the watch of the authors of PNAC. And, of course, that it was "just what the doctor ordered (QUACK)" in order for them to pursue their imperial ambitions.

Snaggletooth the Crone :hippie:

"Still Blue in Texas after all these years!"

[newyawker99]

27. Hi Snaggletooth!!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

[sandnsea]

12. Big Bad Congress stands up to Bush

They've been nothing but a photo-op administration and there's no reason to believe that anything they do is more than smoke and mirros to fool the voters. They don't want to lose Congress so they're creating issues for the Congress to get tough on, that's all.

[Boo Boo]

14. Same thing in San Diego. Big cuts. /nt

[Kahuna]

16. Is he up for re-election this year? If so, he's running against bush

to show his independence. After the election he'll go back to fellating the chimp.

[woodsprite]

18. I was thinking last night that every move they make

is more and more outrageous. I believe they're trying to instigate a situation with the general public where we just refuse to take anymore. Then if any Kent State type incidents raise their head, they'll have a reason to declare martial law - then we're screwed. Somehow we need to legally but thoroughly kick their collective asses to hell and back over the next 2 yrs. Our country is being run by playground bullies. They're acting like a bunch of irresponsible frat boys.

[bdamomma]

24. that is what they are dangerous frat boys

who don't give a shit.

[spanone]

19. If Mr. King would get his head out of *'s ass, he wouldn't be so surprised

King has been a tool of these bastards for five years....and they don't give a shit about him. He's just finding out how evil these fuckers are.

[stepnw1f]

22. Bush is a Fucking Traitor (nt)

[bdamomma]

23. they are giving money to Wyoming

I guess Cheney has alot of pull there :sarcasm:

and bush is also giving money to his brother of course.

[MadHound]

25. Prep work

Like any good dictator wanna-be.

Leave potential targets unprotected, and unwatched. Have another "terrorist" attack in, oh say '08. And then reluctantly assume complete control as the seventy some odd percent of the sheeple in the American population start screaming for him to declare martial law.

Too much DHS security in the area could lead to some rather embarrassing questions.

[Cleetus]

26. The same Peter King with his head up *'s ass?

Peter King. This fucking guy is something else. Talking about chimpys "bold new vision". King walks around, every day, with a mouth full of *. Braindead bushbot.

Ahhh, but now it's different. He gleefully overlooks Iraq, torture, spying, Katrina. Only now, when it's too late and the insanity touches him personally, does he begin to understand.
