So they’re calling for a Bird Flu Czar…
Democrats in Congress on Wednesday stepped up their criticism of the Bush administration’s preparation for a possible influenza pandemic and called for the creation of a White House czar to oversee the nation�s readiness and response.
It’s interesting to see the Democrats in full battle mode over a threat that “hasn’t materialized in our country” yet. Afterall, why should we try to “preempt a potential threat” when it hasn’t attacked us at all? Wouldn’t this just be a diversion from our real enemy, the common flu, which has already admitted to killing 36,000 Americans a year?
If the Democrats are so determined that this threat is imminent, we should prepare our troops to take on the fight… and I can think of nobody more experienced than a Colonel….
