Did someone forget about terrosits and NY's coast line. Manhattan is an Island. Sulley splash landed into the Hudson. Even Chuck disagrees with latest hairbrain scheme of Homeland Security..

Schumer Slams Obama's NY Harbor Patrol Cuts

Sen. Chuck Schumer had some harsh words for Homeland Security today regarding its plan to cut coast guard counter-terror patrols from NY’s shores. “If there was ever a plan that was penny wise and pound foolish, this is it," said the senior senator, calling the 90-member unit the city’s “eyes and ears.” Obama’s budget called for the patrol to be consolidated and transferred to Boston, but, said Schumer "If they're going to consolidate, they should consolidate in New York, since we, of course, are a much greater terror threat than Boston." The unit was established after 9/11 to patrol New York Harbor, reports NY1. Schumer threatened that if the administration doesn't reconsider, he'll block the proposal

Schumer just described Obama well...penny wise and pound foolish...

You know Chuck, this applies to all those bills too...if you would read the bills, and discuss them in public, this crap would never be in the bills in the first place...

Perhaps there will be a compromise - the Coast Guard is retained in return KSM trial remains in NYC.

I thought the same thing. Punishments for not wanting the trial in NYC?
