"A full investigation has been launched into this attempted act of terrorism."
--Barak Obama
No, Mr. President, it was not an "attempted act." It was in fact a real, bone fide, actual, real-life, genuine, authentic, honest-to-goodness, factual, concrete, you-betcha act.
Man with bomb gets on a plane. That's it. That's the act. Right there. See it? It's jumping up and down and waving a flag. It's yelling "Yoohoo!" Hey, over here. I'm the act. Look at me!"
That, Mr. President, is what you failed to prevent. You do not get a B+ grade. This is pass-fail. Prevent man with bomb getting on plane = pass. Permit man with bomb to get on plane = fail.
Furthermore, it was quite successful terrorism in that people are more afraid to fly today than they were a few days ago. So, by the only criteria that matters for the terrorism-making people afraid-what happened over Detroit on Christmas Day was in fact quite successful. I for one wouldn't be more frightened of flying had the plane been blown out of the sky and hundreds of lives lost than I am today. I'd be considerably sadder, but no more frightened.
Hell. I'm more afraid today when a plane flies overhead.
Because a man with bomb got on a plane.
I'm certainly more frightened of flying, Mr. President, than I was during those dark years when the apparatus of intelligence and defense was in the hands of your constitution-shredding not-as-articulate-as-you predecessor.
It was a long time ago, back in November in fact, when another terrorist was successful attacking innocent Americans at Fort Hood, Texas. That was an act, too. A successful terrorist act.
The penetration of our defenses by a terrorist a few days ago, was the second successful attack on the United States in the last few weeks.
And, Mr. President, those weeks belong to you.
but the system worked, ur uh, after i mean..
brilliant!!!!!!!!!!!!!
