Wow, Obama really IS Reagan!
ATF Manager says he shared Fast and Furious Info with White House http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-31727_16...-10391695.html Suddenly he and Eric Holder "knew nothing" about Operation Fast and Furious. Why don't I believe them?

Right now, I'm betting the ATF is scrambing to cover their asses in all sorts of ways just like they have in many previous adminstrations when they committed their special brand of incompetent clusterfuck. I don't know which agency I have more disrespect for... the BATFe or ICE. The TSA are just clowns in comparison.

Someone really need to explain why the US have so many different law enforcement agencies in the Federal level. i can see the reasoning of putting the Air Marshals with the TSA but why not put all the rest under one agency?

Sounds like they are making it out to me more than it is...typical. Reading into things...projecting perhaps. Either to make a name for themselves, or because their axe has become too big to grind.

Wasn't it just in that shape to begin with anyway? Besides, how often do you find building members in any shape that can represent anything aside from a cross? straight lines and 90 degree angles and all that nonsense.

Well, like I said the article lacks context and ends up just being a soundbite flame point. No pictures, was it *intended to be a Christian cross, who made the architectural decisions, etc. I haven't bothered to do the research to create context so basically I file it under "stupid headline designed to fan flames and increase page views" until I find out more.

They've been caught with their hands in the proverbial "cookie jar" and are so screwed it's not funny. That's why I wrote both my senators and my house reps about abolishing the BATFE over this or at the very least taking the "F" out of BATFE. They're Batty anyway so BATE might be a more appropriate acronymn for them. This organization is notorious for giving whatever group is in the white house grief. Quote:
I didn't believe Reagan about "I don't remember," nor Clinton "I did not have sex with that woman," nor Bushy Bush Jr. "Mission accomplished," which is why I don't believe Bam-Bam. After all Obama is the same President who claimed he never heard any of Rev. Wright's rhetoric in all the 20 years he attended his church. With ears like Obama's I find that hard to believe. Republicrats and Democons are all the same swill of powerhungry types. I don't trust any of them when they say "this agency under our adminstration did what???" They all get selective amnesia when the poop starts hitting the fan all around them. Bill Cosby's description of children should be applied to politicians: I swear, everytime a politician is in trouble that's their favorite saying. "...I wish I could answer that question, but...I don't know" Like this little gem from 2006 when Bushy was in trouble over Blackwater et al. Quote:
Would it not be more appropriate to perhaps put a placard of something like our Constitution or the Declaration of Independence in stone there in defiance of Jihad rather than a cross? Was the World Trade Center ever a church?

This appears to be the cross in question. It looked supposedly like this in late 2001. Or it was one of many such beam sections found in the rubble.

Joking. My guess is that they are following Sun Tzu's "Divide and Conquer", but apparently the more you divide, the less control you have, and the more stupid things look as an overall.

Considering it was a part of the Twin Towers structure. Yeah, I for one don't care that it is cross-shaped, it's part of the I-beam construction and thus very appropriate.
