Another one for "Security Moms"

The Washington Post reports that the Bush administration is cutting the part of the COPS program that put 118,000 new police officers on our streets over the past decade. What's next? Stubbornly refusing to increase the size of the active-duty military, Bush has already drained our communities of first responders through his unprecedented over-reliance on the National Guard and Reserve in Iraq. Knowing from captured al Qaeda training manuals that Osama bin Laden encourages his terrorists to exploit loose American guns laws to arm themselves, Bush allowed the assault weapons ban expire. Now, while telling us that terrorists plan to attack us in our communities to disrupt the election, and knowing that police officers are the front-line defenders of communities all across America, Bush is cutting the program that puts new police officers on our streets.
