Post #149,812 by bepatient 4/2/04 2:12:14 PM Reply	Oh stop. Really. Stop. Your killin me here. This is so over the top its laughable. Something bad is gonna happen in the next 25 years??? To be turned into an "I told you so" type article.? They didn't act for a whole 3 months on my proposal (wah! wah!) even though I told them they had, give or take, 25 years to deal with it. It wasn't ignored. It was actioned in a way that they disagreed with...so their translation...he ignored us. Tell you what. If another agency had to be created, I would've likely done the same thing. Thanks for the task list and the list of requirements gentleman! Appreciate all the hard work...I'll have xxx follow up with you later. Here ya go FEMA, make this happen. And the press continues to push this as the federal government can't walk and chew gum at the same time....I mean...how could they be serious about terrorism if they passed Medicare reform????? Really now...how could they? And >I< get accused of drinking the koolaid. Sheesh. If you push something hard enough, it will fall over. _{Fudd's First Law of Opposition} [link\|mailto:bepatient@aol.com\|BePatient]

Damn..nothing like a "Nostradamus" prediction there! since we (on our soil)had been the victim of 2 massive terror attacks in the 10 years prior. So, as I understand it, you stating that Hart is full of it because Hart is claiming MORE attacks in the next 25 years was stupid because we were attacked twice in the last 10 years. Another domestic attack should've been painfully obvious to see. The speech was postponed in the chaos of the day, part of which Rice spent in a bunker. It mentioned terrorism, but did so in the context used in other Bush administration speeches in early 2001: as one of the dangers from rogue nations, such as Iraq, that might use weapons of terror, rather than from the cells of extremists now considered the main security threat to the United States. The text also implicitly challenged the Clinton administration's policy, saying it did not do enough about the real threat -- long-range missiles. Yet, the White House viewed Ballistic Missiles as the real threat to the US. "We need to worry about the suitcase bomb, the car bomb and the vial of sarin released in the subway," according to excerpts of the speech provided to The Washington Post. "[But] why put deadbolt locks on your doors and stock up on cans of mace and then decide to leave your windows open?

How'd marlowe get your picture and password? bcnu, Mikem The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong.
