9/11 happend remember?
Yeah, and then we spent billions taking on Hussein in Iraq, when objective should have been Osama in Afghanistan. Could have reduced defense dollars spent on overseas wars by at least half. Also, dept. of homeland security is a bloated mess. Why couldn't we have just created a smaller oversight group to coordinate homeland security between the CIA, FBI, Coast Guard, Border Patrol, local police, etc. instead of creating a whole new expensive administrative department?
