Bush/Cheney love us all so much that our militarized police are now being trained to protect us all from insurgent roadside bombs.

"The U.S. Department of Homeland Security is holding a workshop in Fayetteville to teach local law enforcement agencies how to handle roadside bombs," reports the Associated Press.

No, not in Iraq. But here, in America.

The department's Office of Bombing Prevention will host Tuesday's workshop. Police, sheriff's deputies and other law enforcement agents will learn how to identify the bombs and how to protect against them.

Roadside bombs are the leading killer of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although no roadside bomb attacks have been reported in the U.S., experts say they could be a future threat.

Okay, it's getting ridiculous. Endless and bogus terror threats issued since September 11, 2001, are not enough. Now police are to be filled with absurd ideas about terrorists planting IEDs alongside our highways and streets. But then we're told in all seriousness blond-haired and blue-eyed al-Qaeda terrorists are a reality here in America and it is only a matter of time before they strike in the name of cave dwelling terrorist, Osama bin Laden.

Maybe Homeland Security knows something we don't. Maybe they're preparing the police for the inevitability of an Iraqi styled "insurgency" here in America. After all, the Pentagon is paying Lockheed Martin $1.3 million to develop an "Integrated Crises Early Warning System" to detect "rebellions, insurgencies, ethnic/religious violence, civil war, and major economic crises," according to Wired.

And then there's a "secret report, suppressed by US defense chiefs and obtained by The Observer," warning that "disruption and conflict will be endemic features of life" in the near future and "once again, warfare would define human life."

I was still in law enforecement when Homeland Security began. I knew some of the administrators in the new dept. I was put on their restricted daily emails about new concerns, alerts etc.
You would not believe the $$$$ being spent for frivolous projects and make work agendas!!
It was very eye opening and saddening at the same time. Another Bush/Cheney screwup!!

If the Herald would make stories like these front page news instead of hidden in the back pages it would make a difference!! Borders like Raymond need to ingest this instead of Rush/Sean garbage "entertainment" passed on as news. Heil to the Liar and Thief!!

Check out Keith Olbermann's "Special Comment on Bush's Unforgivable Interview." on MSNBC.com.

I've never seen a more accurate, searing indictment of the horrible ineptitude of the last eight years.

I caught it on his show last night, one of his best ever.

Is he on a regular channel?

I started out being delighted that Bush was getting what he deserved. I ended up with tears in my eyes at what he has done to us.

Somehow I don't see how giving up golf for awhile equates with, losing a loved one or losing a couple of limbs.
