It's ridiculous to assume that Obama and his advisors should of been able to connect the dots when nobody else could of. From the article:

Asked about what kind of intelligence reporting was circulated to senior officials about possible holiday-period attacks before the underpants incident, a U.S. intelligence official, who also asked for anonymity, explained: "As everybody knows, terrorists often speak in coded language, especially when they think their communications might be intercepted. There was no clear discussion of an attack, on Christmas or any other time, in the Middle East or anywhere else. But as veiled as the message was, it was spotted, processed, analyzed, and presented to senior policymakers as a warning sign however vague of a holiday attack. While this was handled properly, there were, to put it mildly, virtually no details at all. That happens."

Vernon hates Obama with a passion.

If there are clouds in the sky over Taiwan, he will find a way to make Obama responsible.

What attack? Underpants Man was stopped before he detonated.

Vernon, should Bush have connected the dots before 9-11???

Congrats, Danni! You figured it out.

This is the same tiresome after-the-fact bullshit that people said about Bush for years. It's easy to cherry-pick details in retrospect and claim the pattern is obvious.

The mucky skies over Taiwan are mostly cloud of pollution from China. Judging by the Messiah's, uh, success with India and China in Copenhagen, I guess it could be blamed on him.

And I'm content to leave the hating to people like you

More logic from the riiight:

9-11 = Clinton's fault

Dick smack on christmas with the firecrackers on the plane = Obama's fault.

On another note I heard that the previous administration had the planners of thiscluster fuck in gitmo but let them go. It's hard to believe bush's boss would allow him to let someone go when they could still be tortured....

Vernon went fishing and caught several fish. LOL

"Not so" says Washington Post columnist David Broder:

"David Broder: Bumbled Terror Attack Showed Napolitano's Competence and 'Almost Unlimited' Potential"

"It came as no surprise to anyone who knows her that Napolitano handled the incident and its aftermath with aplomb. In the years I have known her, she has managed every challenge that has come her way with the same calm command that she showed in this instance. If there is anyone in the administration who embodies President Obama's preference for quiet competence with "no drama," it is Janet Napolitano."

"She soon became one of my favorite pols in either party."

"The Obama Cabinet is filled with talents, but many of the stars are of an age or temperament unlikely to turn them into successor candidates."

He didn't even have to set the hook, to get those fish on the line....

This is the same tiresome after-the-fact bullshit that people said about Bush for years.

You got a link that Obama was given a PDB that said "Crotch Bomber determined to blow up airliner in US"?

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (the panty bomber):

-Paid cash for a one-way ticket, and nobody noticed

-Visited Yemen frequently, and nobody noticed

-Had no baggage for an international trip, and nobody noticed

-His own father reported him as a risk, and nobody noticed

......to which Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano's declared: "the system worked" and then declared that anyone flying into the US could not pee, read a book or hold a pillow for the last hour of the flight

Can you feel the incompetence?

which is it? after-the-fact, cherry picked bullshit, or palpable incompetence?

That depends on what they do to the guy. If they send him to Cuba and hook acar battery up to his nuts it's cherry picked bullshit. If they put him on trial, get a conviction, and refrain from chaining the poor fucker to the ceiling untill he dies it's palpable incompetance.

Where was Van Jones during the attack. I am sure Van Jones is pissed the plot was foiled

They cannot even keep unwanted guests out of the W.H.!:

oops! wrong link in #18:

UH??? I have some news for you. those 300 people are alive today ONLY because it didnt go off like he thought it would...

AND DANNI....and others...if you attack bush for no dot connecting before 9/11 then you HAVE to raise hell with obama here for any sort of credibility on that particular argument.

MORE MUSING of mark styne

Yesterday, December 7, 1941 -- a date which will live in infamy -- the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately "ALLEGGEDLY" attacked by naval and air forces of "ISOLATED EXTREMISTS" from a country who we should have apologized to.

He's still trying to figure out who that 3rd uninvited guest was:

re: He's still trying to figure out who that 3rd uninvited guest was:

You mean the one that didn't result in over three thousand dead Americans on his watch while he was fishing at his ranch on an extended vacation?

That one?

What kinda coverup BS rhetoric is that?
