What have the Feds been doing to prepare us for a terror attack? What have they spent all of the money on? If this is how they are going to handle it, then we are SOL.

1. I think even the freepers are beginning to realize how ill prepared we
are for a terror attack since we were so incredibly ill prepared for an attack where we had four days warning.

Welcome to DU. :hi:

3. Much much worse
That's very obvious now. All our money is being spent in Iraq, and funneled directly to Halliburton.

If the election were next week Bush would get about 10% of the vote.

5. If we keep on inaugurating disasters, we'll keep on getting them
Like cockroaches, bad luck multiplies in the dark while you sleep.

7. Why they spend it on offensive weapons that can't be used to
protect America from any sort of terror attack. I'm talking microwave cannons, cruise missiles, cluster bombs, depleted uranium, sound weapons, satellite weapons and the like.
