Do you remember during the recent campaign how the Dems were going implement all the recommendations of the bi-partisan 9/11 Commission as part of their campaign strategy? More empty promises.
According to The Washington Post,
It was a solemn pledge, repeated by Democratic leaders and candidates over and over: If elected to the majority in Congress, Democrats would implement all of the recommendations of the bipartisan commission that examined the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.But with control of Congress now secured, Democratic leaders have decided for now against implementing the one measure that would affect them most directly: a wholesale reorganization of Congress to improve oversight and funding of the nation’s intelligence agencies. Instead, Democratic leaders may create a panel to look at the issue and produce recommendations, according to congressional aides and lawmakers.
Another panel. Great. Just what we need. Nice to see they were unable to keep their campaign promises for less than 4 weeks. Doesn’t anyone want to keep us safe?
