I do not see anything wrong with allowing the Department of Homeland Security to be permitted on the scene.

Yes, it is possible to agree to disagree. But in doing so that doesn’t mean each person is not permitted to share their viewpoint. Many people use the agree-to-disagree mantra to try and shut the opposing viewpoint up.

All the mud-slinging and nastiness aside, isn’t it possible to agree to disagree?

Isn’t it one of several reasonable responses, even if you don’t agree with it, to suggest that allowing law enforcement and investigative bodies to do the initial heavy-lifting before you let politicians send their own investigators in to make sense.

There is such a thing as “too many cooks” when it comes to sifting the facts from the misconceptions.

What I mean is, unless they plan to have each agency interview each witness, then they need to have the chosen agencies finish the interviews before they determine what other questions need to be asked for follow-up.

Similarly, until everyone knows what evidence has been collected and preliminary results of testing, etc., they can’t determine either what’s missing or what additional follow-up or double-checking needs to be done.

If they don’t let those two things happen before Congress (and how many other additional investigative bodies) send in more investigators, they may end up doing unnecessary duplication of effort, confusing or distracting the initial teams or also missing things that have been overlooked.

By reviewing the initial investigation, they can use their skills and resources to improve upon or correct problems with what has already been done.

You might now agree with me but you surely can see how that’s a reasonable approach that someone might choose to take.

Can’t you?

I agree with Angela-it is simply incomprehensible how this guy can gallivant all over the world *on the public’s dime* while there are soldiers dying, literally bleeding to death, because there aren’t enough supplies/equipment to get them treated quickly. Case in point, the British soldier, Jamie Janes, whose mother begged the leader of the Parliament to understand that her son could have been saved, but died since he was stuck in the field, where his fellow soldiers watched helplessly as his life slipped away. And, yesterday I heard someone on the radio state that Obama’s crew will eventually refer to the Fort Hood massacre as an isolated incident of ‘workplace violence’. I am truly ashamed to be an American right now. There are so many issues this man should be dealing with, but hey, as long as he and his wife are perceived as ‘COOL’, everything is fine, right? Style over substance. And that whole bowing incident with the Japanese emperor, that is simply disgusting and truly disrespectful to every citizen of the world!! The whole situation is dire, let alone despicable. I try to be positive–it’s increasingly difficult.

@PTG — Yeah, Barack Obama doesn’t want to do anything responsible these days. I don’t understand how he can prance around the world while our troops are in need of support.

@ValentineLaw — How are you doing with the circus act that is about to take place in NYC allowing the 9/11 Radical Muslim Terrorists into our courtrooms? Are you guys ready for the influx of supporters that are about to hit your city? Or is that already happening? I know Illinois is up in arms about it. Security will be tight for a long time but life around this process will be scary and dangerous. What do you think? What are your thoughts since you are in NYC and were there when the Twin Towers were hit and went down?

Um… Kathy… you don’t know how to be nice. You don’t care to be civil. All you want to do is pick pick pick and be a little troll about it.

You have told me many times exactly what you think of me and I had to take in every word. That’s fine with me because it kinda comes with the territory.

Then you’ve come back and apologized to me trying to make niceties. I have just soaked it in and waited not holding my breath.

If you can participate in the discussions in a grown up way without making it so personal… you can stay. If you can’t be nice I would like you to leave. But, it doesn’t really matter what I think even though it’s my blog and my little corner of the blogosphere. You’re going to do what you’re going to do, my blog is public, and that’s just the way it is.

Let me just say this and you can take it however you want to. It is SO nice to have friends that are lawyers. I LOVE It!

With that said… I hope you try and have a nice day. And do not even pick on my friend PTG. We’ve been friends for a long time now and he is welcome to say whatever he pleases.

Absolutely ValentineLaw! Another thing to remember is that OBL said it best when he stated that these terrorists, I mean pansies ;) love death whereas we love life(at least us moral Americans do).

What BO has done and continues to do is put our lives in jeopardy. I have absolutely no respect for him.

What Kathy and other BHO-followers don’t get is that an investigation by the FBI and other police organizations, including the military, are closed to the public. An investigation by CONGRESS is supposed to be done by the people, for the people, and the results are made public. Ask yourself why BHO doesn’t want the investigation public…it’s because he and his liberal brethren will be called to the mat for advancing his DANGEROUS and beyond naive “politically correct” philosophy of forming some global community. As the right has been saying all along, our enemies want to kill us, period. No amount of hand holding, singing kumbaya, or peace talks will stop that. They only understand WAR – death and destruction – and that is how we fight them or else we all lose and peaceful, freedom-loving Americans die. BHO is a joke to the middle east, and now to America in general. He can’t afford to have it confirmed to the public. That’s why the public wants Congress to investigate – it is Congress’ duty to inform the public about what they find. Great essay, Angela.

Geez, Kathy, if you had just told us up front that you were an only child all your hostility would have made sense! You are expressing classic sibling rivalry – I guess Angela should be flattered that you are so obsessed with her!

And you are the one who keeps saying you are gonna leave and never do. Frankly, yes, I wish you would leave. Your hostility towards Anegla is getting quite old.

My apologies for the use of the word “twat”. I actually woke up this morning feeling bad about that.

As for “bitch” – well, I call ‘em like I see ‘em.

Hattie is a character from a book series – doubtful you would be interested in reading it.

PTG – I made a screaching meowing type sound just now just for you, LOL!!! ;)

Oh, by the way, have ya’ll seen the photos of Obama bowing to the Emporer of Japan? I can’t wait to hear the spin on this. I am sure the talking heads on FOX will have a field day with this, especially Beck.
