Global Warming and Naitonal Security

House Intelligence Chairman Silvestre Reyes believes there is a connection since the Intelligence Authorization Act includes a provision that requires the CIA study global warming.

Yesterday, House Democrats once again showed the electorate why they cannot be entrusted with the nation's national security. Incredibly, the Democrats are insisting that the Intelligence Authorization Act include a provision funding a global warming study. Texas Democrat Silvestre Reyes, Intelligence Committee Chairman preposterously argued that "this is an area we may vulnerable in terms of potential terrorists."


I understand many terrorists claim a special hot-line to God, but to date I have yet to see any evidence of a connection. So let me get this straight, Democrats believe there is a link between terrorists and global warming but not Al Qa'eda and Iraq. And those Chlorine Bombs they are now blowing up in Iraq, no they're not WMD.

I am not sure global warming exists, since the data is at best conflicting. Further, I am not sure the Federal government needs to be leading the charge studying the matter, but if the government does feel it is important enough for a funded study, I am VERY certain the CIA should not be involved. NASA, NOAA, EPA and perhaps a dozen other agencies make sense, but not the CIA.

Dumb.
