Fight Then Over There, While Crime Sky-rockets Over Here

I am guessing that Bush’s war in Iraq is far more important than anything on the home front, crime has sky-rocketed, and law enforcement is strapped for cash (Republicans cuts in funding) and forced to work on “War on Terror”
From Washington Post (Bolds are Mine)
Deputy Attorney General Paul J. McNulty told a gathering of mayors and police chiefs from 50 cities that he was concerned about reports of growing violent crime _ including homicides, robberies and aggravated assault _ in cities nationwide. He acknowledged difficulties due to demands with fighting terror and wars abroad."I’m well aware that there are many needs and desires on the part of law enforcement that we have not been able to serve well," McNulty said at the national crime summit organized by the Police Executive Research Forum.
He said the Justice Department was seeking more funds for its Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives division to stem gun trafficking. But reclaiming money that was diverted from crime-fighting to anti-terror efforts may be difficult, he said.
"I wish I could stand here and say all that will be restored in the next year or two," McNulty said. "We are facing some big challenges. I see the challenges in fighting the war on terror. I see it is very expensive to fund soldiers overseas. At the same time, we have to find ways to get resources to win here at home."
Congrats Bush and the Republicans, we are now no longer safe anywhere!
