Holes in homeland's security

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

There's little question the Bush administration has shown a lot more gusto for waging war in Iraq than the nitty-gritty of homeland security in America's cities and towns.
Even though there was danger that terrorists might strike quickly again following 9/11, the White House moved with little vigor to start emergency funding to better equip and train the local police, fire and medical first-responders who would be on the front lines in another attack on U.S. soil.

Even now (as Democratic nominee John Kerry keeps asserting), the administration is shutting down most of the Clinton-era COPS program to help localities hire police officers even as it funds new local security forces in Iraq.

1. Typical. When something happens they will give more money to their

friends and pretend there beefing up security, only there one be one new cop on the street. There will be an entire office full of high paid consultants from Texas though.
