Dianne Feinstein thinks our already strained National Guard should be patrolling the highways and bottlenecking imported goods: Feinstein wants security role for
National Guard –
Senator would expand duties far
beyond airport protection.
Feinstein’s proposal, if put into effect, would result
in the largest call- up of the National Guard in more
than 50 years. The last time units were used in such
numbers was during the Korean War, when the
40th Division of the California National Guard was
sent into combat.
“Five million cargo containers entered the United
States last year,” she said, “and only 2 percent were
inspected. We have always put trade ahead of the
security of our nation.”
Hmmm. Seems like a funny time for confessions.
I wonder who the “we” is. I guess the only thing we know for sure is that Dianne was speaking for herself.
