AP: Gonzales Says Cities Must Work on Crime (without more federal $$)
Gonzales Says Cities Must Work on Crime

By HOPE YEN

WASHINGTON Sep 5, 2006 (AP)— Attorney General Alberto Gonzales said Tuesday
that cities will need to work harder to combat a spike in crime but shouldn't
count on more federal funding, citing growing demands in the war on terrorism.

At a news briefing, Gonzales was responding to several mayors and police chiefs
who expressed concern at a crime conference last week that the Bush administration
was devoting too many dollars for wars abroad. They said that came at the expense
of Americans at home who are victims of violent crime.

"I think everyone understands at the state and local level that we need to secure
our country," Gonzales said, reiterating the desire of federal law enforcement
to work more closely with local police to fight crime. "I understand the tension,
and they also have a responsibility."

But he said that President Bush was also committed to reducing the federal deficit
in time of war.

1. More unfunded mandates from the fascists...

2. This war on terrorism is utter bullshit
We need to end the funding and address our own needs.

It just feels good to yell the WOT is BS, BS, BS.

It's always been there and always will be. W is just funding his world globalists with our taxes. It's all BS, BS, BS.

4. Hundreds of billions for Iraqi's. Nothing for Americans
If the money is spent, it should be spent here.

3. This administration not only ignores crime
they have cut the resources to do anything about it. COPS program, gone. Federal funding to meet demands for terrorism? Not existant. Bushco is a joke when it comes to crime. Maybe because they are criminals themselves.

5. Bushco has no desire to spend $ on American citizens
He wants our taxes diverted to corporate globalists. That's why he was put in office in 2000.

He has zero allegiance to American citizens. He won't back immigration reform, he cuts our social programs including veteran's programs, etc.

He's only gung ho on diverting our taxes to his war buds.

9. And he's even a total fuck-up with that.
He's been a useless waste of space since the day he slid from Beautiful Mind's...whatever.

And he always will be nothing but a useless waste of space.

And a war criminal. And that's fact, including under US law.
