Incompetence Kept Us "Safe"

Pablo rarely sounds off apart from his photos. Today he does.

That's the hook for his legacy, he kept us "safe". (after one colossal failure)

But it is all BS!

Look at Mumbai. Ten guys, automatic weapons, grenades, ammo. Do you think that couldn't have been done at any time, any place in the U.S.?

What was to stop them?

Homeland Security?

Our strongly defended borders?

Our crack Intelligence apparatus?

No, what stopped them was that there was no need. They scored a great success on September 11. They have driven this country into panic, caused 2 wars, economic meltdown, suspension of much of our Constitution, ruined our reputation around the world, and shown us to be so reliant on massive force retaliation, that we are like a helpless infant.

Unfortunately, with the country seemingly coming to it's senses, and changing it's regime, there will probably be another attack in the next decade perhaps another "Mumbai". Nothing as spectacular as 9/11, that is no longer necessary in their eyes. Just a little reminder to kick the panic up a notch.

And sad to say, that act will pretty much cement Bush's legacy.

He kept us "safe".

I would love to see Bush's 'legacy' 'cemented' around his feet just before he goes swimming in the East River, or in his new neighbor's trout pond in the formerly racially exclusive rich white racist enclave in Dallas, but I digress.

Bush's agenda about 'homeland (God, I hate that word) security' was basically to scare the crap out of us and turn us into a nation of spoiled mewling cowards so he could advance tyranny over us and around the world and then pretty much do nothing else other than to have people take their shoes off before they can board an airplane. To a greater or lesser degree it worked.

Whatever the nature of the next terrorist attack, it had better come before January 20 or it will be someone else's fault. 9/11 was, of course, someone's fault other than Bush. Remember, everything that happened before November 4 was Clinton's fault, everything after November 4 is Obama's.

Makes me wanta puke.
