"How many illegal aliens are within five miles of the REAL West Point?"By Tom Flake May 9,2011In a previous post I mentioned that it struck me that the Obama administration was managing public perception in a way that reminded me of a Shakespearean play, "Full of sound and fury signifying nothing" (Macbeth) . It strikes me today that it reminds me of another Shakespearean play, "The lady doth protest too much, methinks" (Hamlet).For almost two weeks now, we have been told how Pakistani intelligence failed, how Bin Laden had a compound only miles from the Pakistani "West Point" (as it were) and how that represents at best incompetence on the part of Pakistani military/intelligence and at worst collusion with Al Qaeda.Alright. Maybe that is so, maybe the Pakistani's are incompetent because they allowed one illegal immigrant to reside unmolested within their borders for five years. There is no percentage in it for me to defend Pakistan. But if the administration wants any moral authority don't they need to confess how inadequate their efforts have been at controlling 20 million illegal immigrants within our borders? If I were anyone in the Pakistani political or military establishment, it is at this point that I would hammer the Obama administration, everywhere I could on the world stage. This screams the parable Jesus taught about the mote in your brother's eye vs the beam in your own eye. So if the Pakistanis start screaming about, "we'll keep out the single person when you can keep out the 20 million people", what will we say then?Some might say that, "It isn't the same, Osama was a wanted criminal". If I were the Pakistanis I'd respond, "You are right, he was a single person and as difficult to find as a needle in a haystack. Whereas with 20 million illegal immigrants, all you have to do is point in any direction." BTW simply being here makes them criminals (illegal aliens). If that isn't enough to reduce the list of illegals in this country to just those that are criminals because they work in human trafficking or the drug trade, do you think they outnumber the single person that was Bin Laden? One final question, before you put too much stock in the administration protestations, at this moment, right now, how many illegal aliens are within five miles of the REAL West Point? Do you think it is more than one? The President doth protest too much, methinks.If I were the Pakistanis I'd offer to help out with the illegal aliens near West Point, it has too much symmetry not to.
