Great idea, let's give a bunch of crack heads the job of patrolling the border. Seriously though, certainly not all, but the majority of welfare recipients have no desire to work, training or not. I really don't think entrusting them with the country's security is our best bet.

Anyhow, I read where Bush has stated that this(UAE taking over the ports) will happen and that he will veto any attempt by congress to stop it.This is a perfect example of what has always scared me about Bush. He does what he wants, following his own agenda, no matter what the rest of the world, or in this case the rest of his own country, thinks. "I want war with Iraq so I'll lie in order to get it." "I want to do wire taps. I'm the President and I say it's not illegal". " I want Arabs to have control of our ports, I'm the President so fuck off if you don't like it" . What is this idiot going to do next?
