More Democrat Whining
Democrats charge that the Department of Homeland Security isn't doing its job properly:
WASHINGTON — The Homeland Security Department, created in response to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, has failed to fulfill 33 of its own pledges to better protect the nation, according to a report released Tuesday by House Democrats.
The report concludes that gaps remain in federal efforts to secure an array of areas, including ports, borders and chemical plants. There also are still delays in the department's sharing terror alerts and other intelligence with state and local officials, the review said.
Considering that this is a government agency, I am not surprised that there are gaps and delays. Since when has anything the government undertaken been quick and flawless?
And, as my friend Cookiewrangler points out, now that President Bush's poll numbers are up, they need to find something to complain about.
If they have any better ideas, I for one would love to hear them.
