Napolitano moves to protect borders...

...but they're not ours. The following was found via Lucianne.com at http://www.worldtribune.com/worldtribune/WTARC/2010/me_gulf0487_06_03.asp;

ABU DHABI — The United States government, which has difficulty controlling its own borders, has agreed to help Saudi Arabia secure its dangerous border areas near Yemen.

"It is a very rough border, very difficult to protect from illegal crossings," U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said. (Yeah, Americans in southern border states can identify with the problem. Hey Janet, why don't you do a little warm up on our own nation's borders before outsourcing to the Sauds?)

In late May, Ms. Napolitano met Saudi leaders to discuss a range of security programs, including training, joint exercises, intelligence and arms sales.

Officials said both the Americans and Saudis agreed that the Iranian-backed Shi'ite insurgency from Yemen was the leading threat to Riyad.

Officials said Riyad and Washington were expanding cooperation in protecting the kingdom's borders from insurgents and smugglers. They said the biggest threat was the Shi'ite insurgency in neighboring Yemen, which shares a 1,600-kilometer border with Saudi Arabia.

Officials acknowledged that thousands of Yemenis were infiltrating Saudi Arabia despite recent border security measures. They said many of the Yemeni infiltrators were smugglers. (Sounds familiar. Again, those of us in southern border states feel the pain. Really, we do.)

"So many of our discussions were about how to protect a very tough, geological, topographical border from illegal crossings," Ms. Napolitano said during a visit to the Saudi kingdom on May 31. (Unlike the total lack of discussions with the state government of Arizona, Texas, New Mexico and California. Maybe there's a worm hole that prevents flights from Foggy Bottom to those states. That would explain why nobody is checking out the problems we have. Sure it would.)

Officials said Saudi Arabia and the United States were also expanding their intelligence exchange. They said the expansion began during the Yemeni Shi'ite war in southern Saudi Arabia in November 2009, which included the capture of two Saudi towns. (Maybe we'll see some action once the drug cartels capture a few border towns. Maybe that's what it'll take.)

"We all share a concern about terrorist activity emanating from Yemen," Ms. Napolitano said. "Actions of the U.S. in Yemen are with the consent, cooperation of the government of Yemen." (Now how about working with the consent, cooperation of the government of Mexico? Oops, I forgot that remittance money from illegals accounts for the second largest amount of revenue for the Mexican government. The first is oil. Anyway, hell will freeze before the Frito Banditos in Mexico City move to help us.)

Officials said the U.S. military was modernizing the Saudi Arabian National Guard as well as Interior Ministry security forces. They said Riyad has ordered hundreds of millions of dollars worth of air- and ground-based reconnaissance equipment to monitor the desert border with Yemen.

Another area of consultation has been the Al Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, which operates in both Saudi Arabia and Yemen. Officials said most of the AQAP leadership was comprised of Saudi nationals. (Pure coincidence, no problem here with a nation that supplies a large portion of terrorists working to destroy our country. Nope, none whatsoever. Wonder if the Saud royalty will be invited to the opening of the new mosque at Ground Zero in NYC? Guess they'll have to check their calendars, the date is 9/11/11.)

"The security coordination is very strong with Saudi Arabia," Ms. Napolitano said. (My ass, we're just sucking up to a big exporter of terror because we want the oil.)

So let me see if I understand this properly. While security of our own borders is at best given token attention by the Feds while they condemn any state taking action on it's own, the folk in Foggy Bottom are sucking up to the leadership of the nation that provided the largest number of participants in the 9/11/01 attacks. We're falling all over ourselves to help these fools stay in power while completely neglecting what happens to our own countrymen.

Did I miss anything?

Is anyone else outraged by this? I've sent the following to our clueless DHS Secretary, wonder if it'll get me put on a watch list?

Here's my little missive, sent to the following address;

Secretary Janet Napolitano
Department of Homeland Security
U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Washington, DC 20528

Dear Secretary Napolitano,


It was with deep disgust I recently read of our efforts to aid the Saudi government in securing their borders with Yemen. Why are our country’s resources being used in this manner when the Federal neglect of our southern borders prompts Arizona to act in the manner it recently has?


As an American taxpaying citizen I feel our attention should be focused with laser-like intensity on our own problems until they’re resolved. Only then should we aid other countries.

Sincerely,

My name


See you all in the reeducation camps. I'll be the foulmouthed fat guy kept in permanent solitary due to his attitude.
