Fixing Homeland Security - ASK THE EXPERT - PJ Crowley

http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/security/homeland

What is needed is a new national security strategy and a renewed commitment to homeland security, one that builds capabilities from the ground up rather than imposing unfunded mandates from the top down. Adequate resources must be committed to all dimensions of national power, not just one. Investments should not just enhance our ability to counter the terrorism threat, but also promote far-reaching systemic improvements that will better position the United States to cope with a range of challenges and major disruptions regardless of the origin—terrorism, yes, but also pandemics, natural disasters, and man-made events.

This takes on special significance given al Qaeda's recent pattern of strikes associated with elections or political transitions. The United States faces increased risk of another attack over the next year and a half, which will place a burden on the next administration. Iraq may well be the dominant national security issue in the presidential campaign, but homeland security could well present the next president with his or her first national security challenge. This paper provides the framework for the reevaluation of our homeland security policies
that the next administration should pursue as part of a balanced national security strategy to make the United States more secure in the years to come.

The whole homeland security issue is nothing but a bunch of BS!!! It has nothing to do with security. They are selectively and slowly removing our rights. Open YOUR eyes and ears people! Don't be afraid of these dictators. That's what they want - to be afraid of them. Why do you think homeland security is building FEMA camps. Yes, it's true. Don't believe me... find out for yourself. This guy in the video needs to just shut up and bend over in the direction of the dictators!!!

Terrorism arises out of desperation. When all other aspects have been tried and failed. What happens when people are pushed to the edge? They push back. I like what Ron Paul said talk to them trade with them but don't shoot them.

Love beats war anyday.
