Comment on the Democrat Plan for American Security
I'd planned to post about the recently released and long awaited Democrat plan how to fight and win the war being waged against us by Islamicist extremists, but I can't. As Gertrude Stein said about Oakland, Calif., there's no there there.
I'm not kidding. 123 pages of wishful thinking and platitudes. I doubt the majority of Democrats support a majority of it. Tough and smart, my arse.
UPDATE: No sooner stated than the evidence rolls in. This is how the the Democrats ACT to protect the country from foreign terrorist attacks; they try to cut 20% of the funding for the NSA, the most forward DEW line of the current war. From the LA TImes:
... Republicans on the House panel defeated a Democratic push to suspend hundreds of millions of dollars in spy agency funding until the Bush administration provided more information about a controversial domestic espionage program being conducted by the National Security Agency.
So given the choice between partisan politics and security, the Democrats chose partisan politics and the Republicans chose security. No surprise to me.
