What a sad day - our country's first 9/11 since George Bush. When I heard on TV about something the President and his wife were doing to commemorate Sept. 11, I automatically thought of George and Laura. Then the horror sunk in.
From my favorite blog, michellemalkin.com (I also read on this blog that one of my favorite reporters, John Stossel, is moving to Fox News!!):
Many rail attacks by terrorists have occurred, in New Delhi, Mumbai, Chechnya, Madrid, and London. So Amtrak has an Office of Security Strategy and Special Operations (OSSO), full of experts in terrorist-butt-kicking. Each member underwent special training in rail security, marksmanship, etc. OSSO works with federal, state, and local authorities to detect and defend against terrorist attacks on railways. OSSO has also provided security for Bush, the Pope, the Democrat and Republican conventions, etc.
So what's this kick-a** group doing now? The east and west coast teams have not worked at counterterrorism since the summer. This occurred after the departure of an Amtrak VP and an Amtrak general inspector. The VP was instrumental in creating OSSO's predecessor. The Inspector unexpectedly "retired" and the VP was fired. Why?
A union that represents the Amtrak Police Dept. has been peeved that OSSO isn't unionized since it was formed. Biden is very tight with that union. OSSO is now magically under the control of the APD, which is unionized. OSSO's stimulus money has gone to the APD. The APD officers have repeatedly shown they don't understand counterterrorism.
Another example of Obama's chums, the labor unions, at work. Click here for the full story.
