Homeland security assistance for places that need it...? 'Scuse ME...??

read this slowly and carefully... your objective - find every waldo hidden in this picture...
Facing cuts in antiterrorism financing, the Department of Homeland Security plans to announce today that it will evaluate new requests for money from an $800 million aid program for cities based less on politics and more on assessments of where terrorists are likely to strike and potentially cause the greatest damage, department officials say.

ok, now, point by point...

1) Antiterrorism funding is being CUT.
2) New funding requests will be based MORE on assessments of where terrorists are likely to strike.
3) Previous funding assessments were based LESS on assessments of where terrorists were likely to strike.
4) New funding requests will be based LESS on politics.
5) Previous funding requests were based MORE on politics.
6) Since antiterrorism funding is being CUT, LESS money will be available to places where terrorists are likely to strike.
7) Places that previously received antiterrorism funding based MORE on politics will receive LESS money.
8 ) New antiterrorism funding requests based on politics will receive LESS money.
9) Previous antiterrorism funding that was based MORE on politics MAY be responsible for the fact that antiterrorism funding is now being CUT.

have i missed one...?
