The War on Terror - Follow the Money

Today the Bush White House moved to cut Homeland Security funding for New York and Washington, redistributing the money to smaller cities. Living in Denver, I hardly feel the need for a huge influx of Homeland Security dollars. Instead, I'd rather they be spent securing ports and defending the high-value targets like New York and Washington. But both of these cities tend to be Democratic strongholds and Bush needs to buy a few more votes for his buddies in the hinterlands (read red states). So the money gets redistributed....

No wonder even the true believers are seeing through this guy.
