Now the military actions in Iraq and Afghanistan are red tape and bureaucracy?
Yikes, I feel like I'm in a parallel reality. You referred to my 'plan' to beef up borders and monitor communications as:
Riley, I already agreed with you that the borders should get more enforcement (which will use up some body-bags, mind you). But think about what you're saying. You're content to let red tape and bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo keep al-Qaeda out of the country?
which completely
excluded military action in Iraq. That's what I've been objecting to for umpteen pages, military action in Iraq.
Red-tape and bureaucracy has its place. But it can't do the job all by itself. Which is pretty much what you suggested.
For starters, that's what I said. I ain't done yet.
Have you had your tap water checked lately?
