#2 ...already well over budget and behind schedule.

And not only that, but I hear it doesn't work either. The hat trick of "government funded projects"!

#3 The hat trick of "government funded projects! You're leaving out the key phrase; "in-house software development".

#5 The continued presence of this incompetent fucking hack at the top of the FBI is one of my few major complaints about GWB. I was willing to admit that - given his having started his job about 2 weeks before 9/11 - he needed some time to shake stuff up.

What's happened? Zip point shit. No mass firings of the senior managers at DC HQ who impeded field investigations of Arab flight students - investigations that, given management support, might have prevented 9/11 altogether. No investigation of the probable corruption of Arabic translation services by pro-Islamist Arab-Americans and Arab immigrants working at the Bureau. And no overhaul of Lousy Louis Freeh's 1992-vintage computer system.

Just what the hell HAS Mueller been doing for the past four years, other than rolling over, whimpering and baring his belly every time ~~Islamist fifth-column~~ Arab civil rights groups like CAIR bark at him? Fire his useless time-serving ass and send Rudy Giuliani to work, with a mandate to kick asses and clean house.

#6 What Abu Babaloo said....plus after observing the Fumbling Bunch of Idiots (management)for the last__years I'm still somewhat concerned
about the agency *rolling over* for Congressional PC assbites(ie.John Conyers etc.)who would then redirect the FBI mission to include free speech guidelines...race sensitivity, Dhimmitude, and whatever new moonbat claptrap they can dream up.

BTW One of my favorite uncles worked for the FBI retired '87.....great bank robber collars.

#7 RbR - Now that's an idea! And long overdue, as the man says. I dunno if Rudy would take it, but there's zero doubt the work described needs doing and Rudy could and would get it done. Dubya's most galling failing is having faith in subordinates in spite of the evidence to the contrary. I truly respect bona-fide loyalty, smart delegation of authority, and a manager who knows that shit doesn't happen overnight - but on that last point, he is too damned forgiving of those who are afraid or unable to achieve results in a reasonable timeframe. Goss is the right kind of guy, Mueller's clearly not up to the tasks at hand. I hope someone is listening...

Good post RbR!
