Congressmen Say The…Dumbest?…Things

I ran across an AP story on funding for port security, chemical plant security, and border security and noted this quote from Texas Congressman Joe Barton:
“We’ve learned a lot in the last few years about where the threats are,” said Rep. Pete Sessions, R-Texas. “The money that we’ve spent is allocated on a need based on the threat.”
Noting that “not everything has gone right” at Homeland Security, Sessions said the spending plan would help make sure the department “runs on a better basis.”
“We’ve learned a lot in the last few years about where the threats are?” “On a need based on the threat?” Why does it sound like he’s a CIA officer trying to brief a freshman congressman?
I wonder what he counts among those “learning experiences?”
