WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama is heralding a major milestone in national security. It is over one year since the last significant breach of US shores by a 'category A' undead outbreak.
 The president's recent major personnel changes in national security seem to be paying off.
Obama announced that CIA Director Leon Panetta, having replaced Defense Secretary Robert Gates, has had "significant impact on shoring up our nations defenses against the necro-mortosis pandemic."
The Obama administration tried to find solace in this news. After a tough week that ended with Friday's landmark votes on the Libya operation. Bringing the press's attention to this good news seems strategically planned.
Tough week
But the two votes Friday on Libya, along with the harsh backlash from within his own party after announcing his Afghanistan withdrawal plan Wednesday, underscore the political thin ice President Obama is in when it comes to national security. Though both Democrats and anti-interventionist Republicans have long protested against U.S. military help abroad, the USA has continued to lend assistance to many undead ravaged regions of the world. All this whilst continuing to maintain a military presence in Afghanistan.
Military operations overseas have been a huge draw on the already over reaching US defense budget. With the scaled withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan by winter 2012, there is now a greater ability to defend home borders from wandering undead 'herding' from Canada and Mexico.
 Sweetwater, Texas was the ground zero for the last major mortosis incident. and this was scaled down to a 'Category B' outbreak. February of 2010 saw the death of Lynnette Feinen, the 28 year old nurse involved in the undead attack. She died as a result of severe injuries sustained during the assault.
