'I think the vast majority of Democratic primary voters, and Americans, would agree with Senator Clinton,'

Just because you are a fool is no reason to project that onto Beers.

As the United States approaches the fifth anniversary of September 11, those of us who have dedicated our careers to the protection of the American people do not have much about which to be confident.The President and the Congress have had five years to learn, educate, propose,and put plans into action to defeat the terrorists and make America safe. They have failed. . . . The President and the Congress have failed to carry out their basic constitutional duty "to provide for the common defense."Most of us have not been in positions to make policy for a number of years, but we know what needs to be done. . . . We cannot permit the desire for a historical legacy to take precedent over the security of this country.

. . . WHAT WE MUST DO:Over the past five years, America has turned its back on a tradition of globalleadership. Today, our standing in the world is diminished, our alliances arestrained, our military is dangerously overstretched, and our enemies areemboldened. Instead of maximizing American power, this Administration is weakening our nation and placing our national security at risk. If the Americanpeople are to be protected, this country must return to the bipartisan legacy ofstrong and determined American leadership. This should be the mandate forevery elected official, and every public servant.We've wasted these five years pursuing false goals and reckless objectives. It's time to focus on the real 9/11 enemies and pursue the real 9/11 objectives.

. . . To Defeat Terrorists: Build Upon the Constitution, Don't Destroy It.The Administration has presented the American people with a false choicebetween our security and our core values. It has overreached on wiretapauthority, wrapping its justification in a mantra of fear and insecurity. It has ignored calls to build strong guidelines to help our soldiers deal with enemy combatants in the field, instead forcing Congress to modify rules that legitimizequestionable interrogation tactics. It has jailed individuals as enemy combatants with no process to correct for false information or mistaken identity and noconstitutionally-grounded system for determining their legal status. They've only shown willingness to act when political control is threatened. The terrorists mustbe stopped, but our Constitution is strong enough for that to happen in a way thatAmericans can support.

On the issue of Edwards' statement, here is the money:

The Bush Administration's rhetoric should not be confused for real security. We must end the politics of fear. As professionals in this field, we have discovered time and again that it is not only our duty, but the best practice, to level with those who employ us--the American people. The current agents charged with protecting us have spent the past five years recklessly misrepresenting reality, creating false and simplistic choices, and acting more as neo-crusaders than the keepers of the Constitution. We must now act and call for change. I encourage each of you over the next several weeks and months to write and speak about the need to move away from failure and forward with policies and programs that protect the American people and American interests, preserve American values, and restore American leadership in the world.

I've never seen 49% win a vote in congress

Within U.S. borders, homeland security is suffering from "policy constipation. Nothing gets done," Beers said. "Fixing an agency management problem doesn't make headlines or produce voter support. So if you're looking at things from a political perspective, it's easier to go to war."

Domestically he offered a different opinion in the quote from the article.

You are wrong as usual. BTW, unlike you, Beers understands that the international fight against Islamic extremism effect our domestic security. Perhaps you and Hillary do not.

Man you really are nothing but a clown. You get utterly debunked and can't admit it.

Again that was a 2003 quote from Beers.

So there is no way he was talking about what Hillary said last night!!!!
