Anna Eshoo - Imbecile & Violent Islam's latest bumbling apologist

In her most recent interview on KCBS (available HERE) in the wake of the Christmas Underwear bomber scandal California 14th Congressional District Representative Anna Eshoo lamented that: "We really need to revamp our security systems to be smarter." She then goes on to say that she flies from Dulles airport to San Francisco every week and "thinks it's so stupid to stand in line", and "we need to use better technology to solve these problems." Gee thanks Anna, wow I would have never guessed, now let's unpack her story.
A good place to start is to look at her committee assignments from her self promotional on her website:

Rep. Eshoo has served on the powerful House Energy and Commerce Committee since 1995 and is a member of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and the Internet and the Subcommittee on Health. The Energy and Commerce Committee is responsible for legislation affecting Medicare, Medicaid, telecommunications, energy, the Internet, health-based environmental laws, children's health, biotechnology, high technology, water resources, bioterrorism, homeland security, interstate commerce, gun safety, consumer protection, and food and drug safety.

Rep. Eshoo was appointed to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence in January 2003. In the 111th Congress, Rep. Eshoo chairs the Subcommittee on Intelligence Community Management, which focuses on policies and management challenges affecting all 16 agencies that comprise the nation's Intelligence Community. She has authored legislation to protect our national security and our civil liberties, as well as legislation to require that any surveillance or intelligence gathering be conducted in accordance with the law, requiring court warrants based upon probable cause. Her legislation has also been directed at reforming the Intelligence Community, and increasing human intelligence to better meet the security challenges of the 21st Century.

I had to bold the whole second paragraph of hers above since she has made such a fine point out of promoting herself and her great work in improving our national security posture since 911. I also thought what better way to illustrate the actual value of her efforts than to contrast her claims of her own "job well done" with the ABC News picture on the right.

After such a glowing self promotional from Rep Eshoo it's tough to understand how after 17 years in Congress and nearly 9 years after 911 Eshoo thinks the system is so "stupid" (her assessment) with all these years where she's supposedly been such a great leader on all these intelligence and security committees, uh can we taxpayers get a refund?

I do agree that the system is stupid. Especially when someone like Eshoo who claims to have been showing up weekly for 17 years on intelligence and security committees claims to be "shocked" by the stupidity. The current system of looking the other way just because someone is in fact an Islamic Radcal is not only "stupidly" error ridden; but is in fact dangerously error prone.

Eshoo's system is error prone in large part because of Eshoo's glaring incompetence and the feckless Obama Administration’s total lack of concern for fighting Islamic Terrorists who will continue to shoot up our military bases like Fort Hood and get on US Airplanes without Passports, or luggage with live bombs whilst being on multiple national and international terrorist watch lists.

I'd love to ask Anna personally what she thinks of a system much of which she claims to supervise due to her committee assignments, that allows Islamic Terrorists with live bombs to board American planes. All of this after their own parents have personally tipped off the CIA, DHS & the US Embassy. Sadly this sort of thing seems to be becoming the real fruit of Eshoo's and Obama's labors.

What I'd like Anna Eshoo (aka Louis Renault)  to do is to stop acting clueless & falsely "shocked" by the latest Islamic Terrorist long enough to implement meaningful changes that will have a direct impact on the Islamic Terrorist networks. First and foremost: drop the farce that the solution is a technical one. No technology in the world is needed beyond email or a phone call at the point of the underwear bomber's father speaking to the CIA Chief at the US Nigerian Embassy to cancel the terrorist's Visa. Or Better yet maybe Eshoo could just lean over and ask the State Department why they are still granting Visa's to known Terrorists. It's unlikely to hear anyone ask that of Hillary's State Department though I suppose.

Eshoo might also ask why DHS Chief Janet Napolitano thinks "everything worked perfectly" either before or after the bomb went off. It's now clear that the buffoonery just kept rolling. DHS bold faced misrepresentations aside; Emergency Protocols were just not followed. Among the more glaring lapses of DHS was that they failed in their protocol to notify all Pilots as was made clear in interviews with Pilot's organizations in the wake of this ongoing scandal. Obama has no credibility on security at this point and is still planning on reuniting Yemini terrorists in Guantanamo with their pals in Yemen.

I also directly challenge Eshoo's absurd claim that new machines will "solve the problem". In all cases there were no shortages of sufficient technical means to have kept this Islamic Terrorist off the plane. The real solution is to simply use the single most effective methodology which is: Profiling. No rational person would allow a person fitting the bomber's profile on a plane without performing at least rudimentary checks. Anyone claiming that it is in any sense wrong to use profiling is simply dishonest and willing to watch innocent Americans die in terror and flames for no reason.

I encourage you to contact Anna to either thank her for her newly discovered awareness that the current TSA/DHS systems are in her words: "stupid". Or to thank her for taking a few minutes off of trying to ram Obamacare down our throats to notice that her fellow Democrats are doing their best to empower known Islamic Terrorists to board planes with live bombs and no passports. It might also help if she'd support the one simple way to prevent this from happening in the future: accept profiling as an effective & simple tool at least in the cases of known terrorists on our watch lists, something she's been 100% unwilling to support before.

If you have time you might also ask Anna: if she thinks spotting one terrorist on a list of 500,000 by a DHS computer is somehow "tough "(according to her bumbling pals over at the Whitehouse)...how can any of her "technical" solutions work. Or better yet ask her why; she supports a government takeover of our healthcare that will encompass every possible detail personal, medical and financial of 270,000,000 million Americans since that is more than the 500,000 terrorists she won't allow us to profile?

Give her a call, she won't answer but like Joe Walsh says: “You can leave me a message, maybe I’ll call”.

Whatever you say or do though it's a good bet that she couldn't care less...hey it's only your life not hers.
