When is it going to happen?
Security Officials are thinking about putting a fence around the Capitol and the Congressional Office buildings.
A physical barrier would markedly increase security for lawmakers and visitors to the nations seat of government, Gainer (US Capitol Police Cheif) said during a hearing of the Senate Appropriations subcommittee on the legislative branch. The fence, he said, could cost $15 million to $50 million.
Some people are worried that it will "fly in the face of what Americans think." A Republican Senator from Colorado said this. He then added that he hoped that it if were built, that it would be unobtrusive. You gotta love the government: They want to build a wall around the Capitol and various buildings to help with the security against terrorist or other threats, BUT they don't want it to be obtrusive. Lets spend 50 million or so on a security fence or wall that doesn't really do anything.
I have a better idea for security: FEAR. What if terrorist or jihadist were afraid? What if they knew that we would search them out anywhere in the world if they attacked Americans anywhere in the world. And before I go on with my banter let me address the logic that some people on the left are spouting. Dems and Lefties are saying Bush has angered the terrorist hence the attack on Spain two days before the election. Liberals say that Spain was attacked because they were helping us in Iraq. I want to point out two things concerning this talking point. First, I was under the impression that Iraq had nothing to do with terrorists. Why would terrorist care if Spain helped us in Iraq if terrorist have no concern or connection to Iraq.
Secondly, what is this jive about making them more mad? I got beat up a few times in school. I got my butt pummeled to the ground. I have to say that I backed down from a few of those run-ins with bullies. The times that I backed down, I got wooped; and the the time I stood up, I got wooped. I sure as hell didn't worry if my act of standing up for myself was going to make the bullies more mad. Of course, it made them more mad when I stood my ground! What esle is it going to do? Make them happier? I will say that I wooped a few noggins during those few times of engagements with bullies, but only because I stood up for myself. Terrorist are pissed that we came into Afganistan and they are really mad that we went into Iraq; and they are quaking in their boots worrying if we will go into Iran next. When I look back, the bullies started thinking twice before they picked on kids who take care of themselves. Bullies pick on the kids that they know are easy. We all know that. So this argument where America shouldn't do anything harsh are strong handed because the terrorist will become more enraged, is bogus. They were mad enough to take down the Towers, so what is a little "wiping the floor" with their rag heads going to hurt.
I am going to finish off this rant with a little warning. It isn't over yet, the big one is still going to come. A nuclear bomb will go off somewhere, someday. Kim Jong-Il (our little pot-bellied dictator) is going to profit off of his weapons. This event is going to happen. It could be in 10 years or 10 days, but it inevitable. This is what the big guys in Washington and in other governments around the world are afraid of. Look at what Tony Blair is doing in Britian with compulsory ID cards. What do you think that governments of the world going to do if a backpack nuke goes off. Terrorism is real and they will stop at nothing to destroy our way of life. They hate us and their religion is commanding them to destroy us. That is why i can't deal with higher ups in the Democratic Party. (The yellow dogs around the local scene are fine) They are attacking the President (the one guy who is trying to do something about this) during a war. We got into WWII for less then the Two Tower attacks.
PERIOD
