See McCain Run! Welcome to Ground Zero.

Senator John McCain was at Spartanburg’s Beacon Drive-in yesterday to enjoy one of the World Famous Chile Cheese Burgers and to discuss his position on the war and number of issues that the partisan conservative crowd was interested to discuss… Oddly enough he did not draw a crowd any larger than Congressman and Presidential hopeful Ron Paul… And in a manner he may have fared worse because he did little to change the minds of those who felt betrayed that he had flipped flopped on the Confederate flag issue yet held firm on the war. He made no comment on the issue of global warming (Though much of England is experiencing its worst flooding in modern history). And gave no explanation as to why we are losing the war on terrorism.

MPs warn over air security checks
by BBC Reports–
Heightened security checks at airports could create a potential new target for terrorists, MPs have warned.
A report by the Commons transport select committee said queues of hundreds of passengers in cramped spaces could become a security hazard.

The committee recommended that reducing queues at security and speeding up check-in times should be a priority.

The Department for Transport (DfT) said baggage security rules introduced last August met “a very real threat”.

The reasons why we are losing the war on terror are clear to all but the most menial of minds… The administration has lost popular support on all fronts because of ham fisted half measures and a policy enforced upon the flying public by an army of minions.

One would not venture to say how airport security has affected the flying public in the UK… (I dare say that, at least in the UK, only the cream of the crop is selected for security services). But here in the US flying has become a nightmare to the public. We find that an army of the mentally challenged have taken station over our most important municipal centers (our airports) in addition the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is compiling secret databases on the flying public despite repeated warnings by the United States Congress to stop in this illegal action. The ones who are in charge of operations have little more than a high school diploma and some even have criminal records. They make a mockery to all who are associated with security services and become a hazard to the flying public more than any terrorist possibly could, and are loath and despised by any who must endure fools…

Those who’s duty its is to secure areas such as Iraq and Afghanistan must know that the incompetent actions of those few left in charge of our most important urban security assets are a direct reflection upon public sentiment on our war effort abroad. The TSA has been a catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina proportions and should be disbanded immediately if our foreign policy efforts are to enjoy any measure of success. It is obvious to any who understands the workings of a modern democracy that a war effort will NEVER succeed unless it maintains the popular support of the people (at least in the government houses). As to the war on terror, the TSA remains the terrorist greatest ally more than even Osama Bin Laden. The only prudent move is to abolish the TSA as soon as funding expires.
