"It's painfully obvious to me that I could have done a better job of articulating my talking points," said sector Chief Carlos X. Carrillo, who made the controversial comments last week at a town hall meeting in Laredo, Texas.Translation: Bush is underfunding us. I can't enforce the law and Bush does not want to enforce the law so as to benefit his cronies. Everyone knows this by now. However, I made a Chertoffian error by replacing my usual comments about "resources" and adopted a Rovian, mock-macho, false distraction "talking point." Chertoff did the same thing and look what happened to him after he started talking up "comprehensive reform" - he aged 10 years. I'm sorry, I won't make that slip again."As long as the resources are made available to the people who can make it happen, we will certainly do everything we can to ensure that a zero tolerance policy is brought forward. But to initiate a program like this, without the funding, would not be wise."
I though Carrillo’s real message was:
“I heard the Johnny Sutton message loud and clear.”
The guy just doesn’t want to join Ramos and Compean in prison.
