Failing? No, succeeding magnificently.
This morning some commission has given the DC Government a
grade of 'F' on bioterror prevention. "Nearly a decade after September 11, 2001, one year after our original report, and one month after the Christmas Day bombing attempt, the United States is failing to address several urgent threats, especially bioterrorism," said former Sen. Bob Graham, chairman of the commission.
"Each of the last three administrations has been slow to recognize and respond to the biothreat. But we no longer have the luxury of a slow learning curve, when we know al Qaeda is interested in bioweapons," Graham said.
Nonsense. DHS is doing its assigned job very well. DHS has 3 basic missions in this area:
(1) Insure that American citizens are maximally vulnerable to all threats. Disarm them, demoralize them, disinform them, make them terrified to name the enemy.
(2) Insure that the Mohammedan enemy has maximal access to all important facilities. Guarantee infiltration of the Army, military research, nuclear facilities, etc.
(3) Insure that no American citizen gets a chance to expose the treason. When a wise guy gets too close, discredit him, arrest him, or
"suicide" him.How do we know these are its assigned duties? Because DHS has been accomplishing these missions from the start, and nobody has been fired, demoted or reprimanded.
(I should qualify that
other branches of DHS appear to be operating
for the people of America. When FEMA failed in Katrina, Heckuva Brownie was fired, indicating that disaster response is a straightforward duty, not a reverse duty.)
