With the deadly Benghazi attacks providing impetus and
momentum, the State Department announced this spring that it would build a
$461 million training center for diplomatic security personnel in rural
Virginia.The Foreign Affairs Security Training Center, years in
the making, would consolidate similar training operations in one
place.To be built on 1,500 acres of public land that was home
to the Fort Pickett Army National Guard in Blackstone, Va., the security
training center will look and feel like a real U.S. embassy surrounded by
urban-style streets, buildings, and facades, State Department officials
announced in April.Some 10,000 students per year will practice shooting on
firing ranges, driving at high speeds on race tracks, and detecting improvised
explosive devices.It’s the kind of facility that not only might help repel
the sort of terrorist attacks that overwhelmed the U.S. consulate in Benghazi,
Libya, on Sept. 11, 2012, but also prepare security teams for situations such as
the current advance of Islamist insurgents on the U.S. embassy in
Baghdad.This is absolutely the biggest bowl of "bushwa" I've seen
or heard of since the last time Obama opened his mouth. The State Department
folks must be much more than peckish to find a way out of the stygian morass of
their own ineptitude and carelessness. Last I heard, the United States Marines
normally provide protection for our embassies. Who better? Some civilians sent
through a short course of "duck and run" who will still lack the tactical,
ideological and patriotic mindset which is imbued into U.S. Marines from day
one? This is nothing more than a token offering to enable
State to say..."see, we've learned our lessons. There will be no re-enactment of
Benghazi!" Except this empty TOKEN will cost us a proposed $461 Million, which,
after the smoke clears, could top out at $700 Million to $1 Billion. Then...how
about the added salaries of these ( ? highly ? ) trained killer/protectors.
We're already paying the Marines...they're trained and in situ! After
the thousands of lowly trained people are in place and the project abjectly
fails, these people will be remanded to the unemployment rolls. This proposal
is...expectedly and regrettably...another case of Washington throwing money at a
problem, ineffectively trying to make it go away. And, in the end, their
magnificent training facility will end up being a nursery facility for illegal
alien children.Let me assure you of one glaring fact which should be
crystal clear to any human capable of independent thought. The idiots
who designed, concocted and/or conceived this idea wrote it out with
crayons...they weren't allowed to use anything
"sharp". Jim Morris Twilight Imagery, Inc. 325 203 3962 |
