It is not the truth that Republicans want to make Government smaller. Congress downsized Government. They then took credit for cutting spending and cutting the size of Government. Congress then increased Government in order to take credit for being strong on Terrorist before the last elections. Republicans claim to be for smaller Government. Then when they need to pander to the voters they have no problem doing the exact opposite. Having no real core values.
According to Michael Brown, Former FEMA “As republicans we have failed to make Government smaller, we in fact added to it’s size”. After he was ask for his resignation by Bu$h he then suddenly found a need to admit the truth. All Politicians lie while in office.

After 9-11 and unsuccessful attempts to catch Bin Laden, the Homeland Security Department was created. The only reason I can come up with is, “The FBI, Local Police Departments, and Air Traffic controllers could not coordinated their communications with the Department of Defense. So rather than open the secured communication lines between the four, good ole buddy Bush, creates more Government to open the communication lines between the five.

Looks like instead of opening the secured communication lines, Bush closed them down temporarily so he and his buddies could personally monitor what was being discussed. To do this he created the Homeland Security Department.

Now how has the Homeland Security Department opened up the secured communications between FBI, Local Police, Air Traffic controllers, and the Department of Defense? Does Homeland Security fall under Department of Defense or does the older and more wiser Department of Defense fall under the scrutiny of the Homeland Security?

Could be the Homeland Security is like a new CIA department that is answerable to no one save the president?

What do you really know to be true?
According to Rumsfeld, it appears that Department of Defense would take the lead role in the creation of The department of Homeland Security. This seems to mean that Homeland Security is answerable to the Department of Defense.

I hope this isn’t an instance of “too many chiefs and not enough followers.”

To M1A1 Mike: So you rifle off an answer that the homeland security department acts as a liason officer between the Department of defense and the local police departments,air traffic controllers, city government. That doesn’t answer my questions very thoroughly.
