The train is one small example of the gross ineptitude of the local Government. And how does it relate to partisan politics except that you want to block out any evidence of mistakes by the local governmnet and concentrate on QWB whom you hate for winning the electiuon?

Do you know what Posse Comitatus is?

"Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

The Gov has to authorise it or it is uncostitutional for federal troops to enforce the law. Dis she do it? No she kept saying "24 hours" finally before the 24 hours was up Bush faxed something for her to sign to cede control to the feds as per the law requires.

If Bush had done it as you said he should, you would be demandinq that he be sent to jail for two years.

"We need everything you've got" is not authorisation for anything. Brownie even asked personally and specifically what they needed and never got an answer.

Why not drop the mental baggage and make a fresh start?

What one thing would have solved the problem?
