Proof That We're Winning the War on Terror

"As the capital prepared to celebrate President Bush's inauguration, the city appeared on Tuesday more like a place under siege. Hour by hour the city of grand buildings and marble statues seemed to disappear behind curtains of steel security fences and concrete barriers," according to the New York Times.

Among the preparations: manhole covers welded shut, street and sidewalk closings, building sweeps, subway station closings, expanded no-fly zones over D.C., thousands of cops, and anti-aircraft missiles.

Now I ask you: Do these sound like the actions of people who genuinely believe their public pronouncements of how we're winning the War on Terror and becoming safer every day?

No they sure don't. But of all the bad steps and stupid blunders they've made at least they are sound precautions. Of course when it's their ass on the line or in the crosshairs security is tight. For the rest of the peonage, well...they'll be rewarded in heaven. :>
