Keeping our shores safe from terrorist attacks is just one among other things that the DoHS is responsible for. I also said in an earlier post that I don't think the original article had his story straight; there is ethier a lot more than what is passed to the reader or maybe he just got his story incorrect, but I doubt DoHS had much of anything (if not nothing) to do with these raids.

Ok, I'm replying to the initial post from Mr Slavio, but it keeps getting placed at the end as a new entry.

9/11 started out as an intention, but whatever, you keep believing you're safe and don't need the protection, and the people who know what they are doing wont listen to you and keep doing their job.

Al-Qaeda's end game goal is overthrowing all non-islamic regimes and establish islamic states around the world.

Sorry, double post

No, I got the point. You are saying that just because something hasn't happend yet doesn't mean that the DoHS are doing anything at all.

If you have watched the news in the last 6 years you would know what a load of bull that is. Al-Qai'da has come out numerous times with intentions to attack US targets, and there has been more than one sting operation in England that was backed with intelligence from the US.

But the people in the other cars arn't idelogical fanatics that are willing to die for even a chance to harm you.

The other drivers haven't purposely ran their car into yours in the past.

The other drivers don't live their whole life looking for any vulnerability in your security to conduct an attack.

You don't see the cops on the news handcuffing those other drivers and taking them to jail because another attempt to crash into your car was foiled.

You can although, drive safely on the road because someone is doing their damn job.

If I could spin as fast as this article I could probably lick the back of me head.

First off, the DoHS has nothing to do with tracking down Obama bin Laden. Their job is keeping our shores safe from terrorist attacks, which if the last 6 six years are any indication they have been doing a damn fine job so far.

I don't even really think you have your story straight. For any law enforcement to perform a sting of the degree you described these people had to be major peddlers of mod chips, which if that is the case they get what they deserve. It is an illegal activity, but what do you guys care? You complain about your rights being infringed, but only want to follow the laws that are convenient.

"Although, in China, corruption is taken a bit more seriously, last month the former head of China's food and drug safety oversight was executed for taking a quarter million pounds in bribes to approve drugs that killed dozens of people. Hmm, that sounds like a typical day in D.C. -- minus the justice part ... when do we get our version of this game?"


For your information, the US is one of the least corrupt countries in the world ranking in at about 143th out of 163 countries in the World's Most Corrupt Country List.

Bashing the US is fine, it's your right, but try to know what you're talking about.

I'm all for constructive criticism for anyone's government, but too many take that to mean just making potshots and petty jokes without much basis. People just assume that we (the US) have an evil, vindictive, can't do anything right government; they take the fact that we are one of the richest most powerful countries in the world for granted, it didn't just happen overnight.
