So in your sea-swamped opinion, why cannot "Shrub" turn off the GPS if
a terrorist attack is imminant?

No luck needed at all, Brian.

I never said he "cannot turn off the GPS".

No...You just called it a "stupid idea" without one iota of qualification
as to why.

You also insinuated that it was his idea, and that he had his finger
poised to punch the button.

After all, he's in charge and has wide lattitude to do pretty much whatever
he
decides to, including some stupid things. This would be one of those stupid
things. Par for the course, like his stupid notion of turning SS over to
Wall
Street.

And the Federal Government has done shuch a good job with it...HOW...???

I am only 15 1/2 years away from being able to draw it if I so choose, yet
depending on who prognostications you believe, it won't be there for me to draw
upon.

Would it be any worse to let select Wall Streeters invest it with
Government oversight?
