Border Patrol
Earlier today, Sec. of Defense Donald Rumsfeld made a rather blunt remark about security around our borders, basically saying that there wasn't any.
This coincides with President Bush, who gave two vastly uninspiring border speeches on Monday and today about the subject. He did manage to re-endorse his to have illiegal immigrants work temporarily, a plan that has Republicans and Democrats alike upset (I guess he can be a uniter).
Bush's tone at home did not affect his policy on Iraq; he still thinks a pullout without victory is wrong. But he's not too clear about "victory" is.
Nevertheless, it doesn't stop the military from tapping a 52-year-old granddad.
Bush does plan on giving a speech tomorrow. It is supposed to be his most detailed address on progress in Iraq. Some think if Bush begins a pullout (aka, troop reduction) it's win-win for him and Republicans. But I think that would require Bush blaming the Democrats for making such a decision, and to date Bush has not given Democrats credit for any of his foriegn policy decisions.
