Republicans In A Huff – Continuously
By Wes Keene | February 11, 2010 | In Category: National Security
I’ve grown tired of hearing about the “underwear bomber” nightly. I have to admit, this one story has stuffed a large rock into the otherwise unquenchable thirst I have for news. Now, after 9-11 we all care very much about security, and perhaps we were too lax about it in the past.
There comes a time, however, when you’re just making a thinly disguised political statement. The GOP needs to get a grip and cater a bit less to the Sarah Palin crowd. We did get intelligence from the attempted bomber…was it comprehensive? I don’t know. These intelligence guys aren’t Jack Bauer, no one is. The undergarment bomber (no I refuse to try and type his name) is clearly the D-string of the once amazing Al Qaeda team. Let’s face facts and drop politics for just a moment. GOP shills are acting like this punk kid from Nigeria is some top brass in a real army.
We have sacrificed enough freedom for security in this country since 9-11, and Republicans would do well with many independents to drop the security charade and get back to economics.
