Philip Perry, Treasonous Fucker

Five years after 9/11, you figure our government would have already solved the obvious security concerns, like protecting our chemical plants or keeping razors away from Britney. But we've failed miserably. Why?

Meet Philip Perry. Already, I can tell you don't like him. Because his name's Philip Perry, which sounds like the name of a guy who would screw the common interest on behalf of powerful corporations.

And if you guessed that's what he did for a living, you'd be right.

As documented in this incisive Washington Monthly article by Art Levine, after 9/11 the Environmental Protection Agency looked at chemical plants across the U.S. and concluded that at least 700 sites posed a potential threat to kill or injure over 100,000 people if attacked. In neocon math, that's over thirty 9/11s.

1. A Cheney-in-law. How sweet.
Corrupt through their core. Gawd we have a lot to remedy for the continued actions of this mal-administration.

2. Does anyone know...
if Philip Perry is related in any way to the Perrys (specifically, Bob Perry of Houston) in Texas who were huge contributors to the Swiftboat bastards in the 2004 election?

Here's the info on Bob Perry: http://www.factcheck.org/article231.html

nor lack of opportunity or ability, it is because they (Islamic terrorists) have no reason to, arbusto® conceded to all of their demands.

4. Terrorists concentrate their efforts on striking economic targets in the U.S.
It's very hard to strike within the U.S. (but bush makes it easier than it should be.) It's my understanding that terrorists who can strike will target something that disrupts our economic backbone, which is one reason the WTC was considered such a high-value target. The Pentagon was merely symbolic of their hatred for our military.

5. Why do you think it is difficult to strike here?
For zealots willing to kill themselves for their "cause", it couldn't be much easier.

All sorts of nasty materials are readily available domestically to anyone with enough cash to buy them, and thanks to their Saudi backers that is no problem, and the number of completely unsecured targets are too numerous to count. Power plants, transmission lines, chemical production and storage facilities, vital bridges, oil refineries and storage facilities, etc.

No, they haven't done it because they don't want or need to.
