Our inept Department of Homeland Security

They've just ended the search for any real survivors in that tragic bridge collapse in Minneapolis when our own Dept. of Homeland Security sent word out that it doesn't appear to be an act of terror. Excuse me but isn't it way too early to be making these assessments either one way or the other? Why not just say it's being investigated and here's another thought, how do we know there aren't terrorists amongst us who are construction workers and bridge repairers and working with steampipes underground of major metropolises who are deliberately weakening our infrastructure or others who are tainting our food supply? Even if this were the case political correctness would be our own undoing and we'd never get to the bottom of anything, don't like working with that Muslim Con-Ed guy? you racist pig you.

The tragic I-85W bridge in Minnesota, not saying it is but what's up with our Dept. of Homeland Security making such impromptu announcements? Why does Bush even keep this Chertoff guy on, this guy who shortchanged New York City of much-needed anti-terror funds even though everyone knows Gotham is at the top of Al-qaeda targets? It's a little sketchy to me.

  1. I wondered the same thing, I think they SAY it's not an act of terror so as to not create panic. Hopefully whatever the investigation finds they will be honest about it to the American public.

  2. Seems to me the good ole FBI foils more terrorist plots and the Dept. of Homeland Security exists just for public-relations purposes. You'll note, though, that whenever anything comes up that MAY have a terrorist cause, say the Virginia-Tech killer or that massive steampipe explosion in New York City a couple of weeks ago, I am just amazed at how fast they make these assessments that terror had absolutely nothing to do with it. It's like you can evaluate this in two hours? Homeland Security is just another government bureaucracy.

  3. How come the threat level always goes near orange around election time? Actually the lib conspiracy that says this aids Republicans makes more sense to me than some of their other pet conspiracies, it's like Homeland Security can rationalize it by saying there's nothing wrong with the public becoming more alert and at the same time it benefits our camp.

    Barack wants to invade Pakistan, you heard Beth?

  5. Now Rudy's taking the exact same position as Obama. Mitt Romney had the best line, "in one week Barack went from being Jane Fonda to Dr. Strangelove."
