"They are going out there, they are unknowing of the facts, and they are making charges and allegations that are not anchored in reality."

Which has, of course, never stopped them before.

"Challenges Terrorism Critics"?

So, he doesn't challenge terrorism supporters?

Did he invite his critics to a bomb making contest?

;)

"Quite frankly, I am tiring of politicians using national security issues such as terrorism as a political football,"

* * * *

Yeah. Can't have that.

Sheep,

The predicate of the phrase is 'Challenges'

The subject of the phrase 'Challenges terrorism critics' is 'critics'.

The word terrorism is a modifier, describing the subject 'critics'.

Two 'a's two 'r's two 'm's and a G. Put them together and see what they'll be.

Hey, Old--"subject" in your verbal diagramming should be "object." Other than that, this English teacher concurs. Though I'm not at all sure that Sheep's comment displays any misunderstanding of grammar.

More seriously, for those criticizing Obama and Brennan, really it means nothing to you that Brennan used to work for Bush and knows much of what went on then? Bizarre.

Why doesn't Obama just state that they are following the law instead of always bringing up Bush? He should simply say that until we have declared war those who commit crimes on our soil will be treated as criminals and not as war criminals. I don't agree with it because the panty bomber most likely would have talked if he didn't have an attorney but the law is the law.

'"The most important thing for the public to understand is we're not handling any of these cases any different than the Bush administration handled them all through 9/11,"'

LOL.

He campaigned on Hope and Change.

Now he tries to ASSURE the public that he's the same as Bush.

President Obama and his aides argued that they were handling terror suspects much as the previous administration did

This pantywaist of a president sounds like a teenager crying over his acne...

"Unprecedented dithering"

"Oh... poor, poor Mr. President... governing is so hard... sigh... so hard..."

Maybe when you tell the public you got all the information out of a guy during the 50 minutes before you gave him his Miranda Rights and now claim he's singing again, you look like a inexperienced ass.

"I don't agree with it because the panty bomber most likely would have talked if he didn't have an attorney but the law is the law."

The government says he is talking. But never mind the facts, talking points are so much more fun.

You contradict yourself a lot. What the government say anymore is usually lacking in facts. Fact!

And if this Goverment could learn to shut their mouths, we may actually be able to track more terrorists down.

What purpose did it serve to say they got some more information out of him? That wasn't political??

"That wasn't political??"

No the WH should just endure the abuse and not answer back at all.

That's right danni!

Because we know the last "government" did a fine job finding OBL.

Oh. Wait...

Nah, this Whitehouse would rather double it.

When it comes to terrorism, when has the right ever based anything on reality? Fear and "What If" is how they base anti-terror decisions.

President Obama and his aides argued that they were handling terror suspects much as the previous administration did

Lol. Truth is told. There is the heart of the issue. Both parties are equally proficient in false-flag events.

"Hardly, he's simply shining a spotlight on the rightards hypocrisy, yours included."

Actually, what I said is 100% correct.

He campaigned on the promise to do things differently.

He is now defending himself by saying he's doing the same as Bush.

Two facts that can't be disputed by an intelligent person, let alone some brainwashed partisan asstalker such as yourself.

Commondense get yet another kick in the ass.

Sully,
I see you've taken some of your valuable ass kicking time and decided to share it with somebody other than PigPen. I'm minorly disappointed. PigPen deserves non-stop floggings.

(THEY ARE MAKING CHARGES AND ACCUSATIONS that are Not anchored in reality says John O Brennan, and CORKY)...

Sure the Christmas bloomer terrorist bomber wasn't real, all people believe a fabricated lie, he didn't actually try to bomb a passenger plane did he???

And Hassan didn't try to murder fellow American soldiers in the name of his god it was make believe, it wasn't anchored in reality was it John O Brennan, AND CORKY???

Sure O'Loudmouth is blaming all conservatives and Christians that display Ron Paul bumper stickers, as actual potential terrorists that law enforcement has dire need to watch, that's where they say the actual threats are coming from...

And all who believe such slop have become ignorant brain washed Hitler styled worshippers that love to eat up crap like unmuzzled dogs turned loose in a shit house...

Dr FeelsHimself posts just like the old codger, Rightnut.

First he misses the point completely, the charges of not being based in reality obviously referring to the rwingnut penchant for whining about military trials when their hero GW rarely used them.

And secondly, spewing mindless vitriol like a good little Nazi.

Hahahahahah, CORKY is a faithful ignorant little troll isn't he???
Open your eyes boy, be careful you don't trip over what's left of the empty space you drag around as a housing for a morphed brain...

Corky needs to educate himself to what's happening in Washington, and anchor his mind to truth for once.
He believes every thing O'Loudmouth spews out, even if it is lies and propaganda, to try to steal another election, which is not going to happen, the public have finally awaken out of deep slumber...
O'Loudmouth is a one term Hitlerian nazi dictator, that will be voted out after one term...

And if this Goverment could learn to shut their mouths, we may actually be able to track more terrorists down.

When has tracking down Terrorists ever been a GOP priority? Was it when Bush let Osama through the mountains? OH! I know! It was when we went into Iraq? No? Hmm...maybe when we tried the Shoe Bomber as a civilian? No? ...hmm. I give up.

Actually, what I said is 100% correct.

What's it like being that dumb? I mean, honestly, did you have a lobotomy? Either that or you are just a damn liar.

He said he's doing SOME of the same things as Bush. And he's pointing out that you are complaing about the things he is doing that are like Bush.

If he wasn't doing things differently, you and Palin wouldn't be whining so much. Certainly the GOP wouldn't be complaining about trying the Christmas bomber in civil court with a miranda warning.

Look, I'm tired of dealing with stupid NOPers and liars NOPers. Go throw yourself off a bridge.

Our country is no longer proactive in the war or terror but reactive. Barry and his crew do not beleive in capturing and interrogating these scum-bags to find out what evil deeds they know about but he kills a few of them by drones an their knowledege evaporates with their bodies.

When a terrorist falls in their laps, they Marandize these pukes and give them freaking lawyers! Days and even hours really mean something in the world of terror.

I'm sure once the "panty bomber" did not fulfill his "mission", all e-mails, bank accounts and associates he had have been changed, deleted or have moved locals....

Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come for we've castrated our intell community and bad guys know it.

When ANY PRESIDENT will say that any conservative and Christian who displays a Ron Paul bumper sticker is a potential terrorist that law officials has dire need to watch, THEN YOU BETTER BE WATCHING AND JUDGING HIM MR. PRESIDENT OBAMA...
HE SAID IT...

THAT IS PROFILING CHRISTIANS, AND CONSERVATIVES, WHO ARE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO NEVER BECOME A TERRORIST THREAT TO ANYONE...

AND THE SSSOB IS AFRAID TO PROFILE THE REAL TERRORISTS THREATS, ISLAMIC MUSSLIMS........

Just say " Hell No! " to marxist obama and his marxistcare bull shit. I'm tellin ya, stand up to these fucking morons, their whole attitude is that if it is'nt marxism, it is'nt right, in their minds we should have to support those that want to sit around on their lazy asses and make up excuses for not working, like the white man won't hire me, white boy won't hire illegals, no duh! Your a fucking criminal, 70% of the inmates in California prisons are illegal felons, what does that tell you? Fuck over their agenda at every step, don't give an inch, fuck em. marxism always fails, help bring about a hasty failure to this ideological obamanation of desolation.
And as always, I HOPE obama fails miserably, so America can CHANGE back to the great nation it was before he lied his way to power. Had enough hoax and chains yet?

Tutamen Deus

By Nicholas Kralev and Jennifer Haberkorn THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Obama administration figures took to Sunday's political talk shows to rebut charges of White House weakness on Islamist terrorism, with the nation's top diplomat saying such networks pose the greatest threat to national security.

Fucking A, Obama now telling the networks if they don't report the news how he wants it then they pose as a security threat.

This fucking clown is way worse then any of you libs can say about GW and what makes it worse is you're to dumb to see it.

rwd

"Fucking A, Obama now telling the networks if they don't report the news how he wants it then they pose as a security threat."

Oh good lord. Please tell me you are joking. _Terrorist_ networks. Right?

Ooooh.

They "fired back".

How feisty.

I'm so sick of anything being associated with this joke of an administration being taken seriously.

Actually, what I said is 100% correct.

He campaigned on the promise to do things differently.

He is now defending himself by saying he's doing the same as Bush.

Calm down cupcake. I'm specifically talking abut the terror trials in NYC. They were ok with you turds when Bush did it but now they're suddenly 'dangerous'. Coward.

I'm beginning to wonder if you know the definition of the term 'ass-kicking'

Seems strange coming from the DR Loser who has yet to give ANYONE an ass-kicking.

Stop acting like the sidekick to the bully who says "yeah!" after everything the bully says. Stand on your own, if you can.

"After a week of sustained attacks led by former Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska ..."

Scariest part of the article.

Sarah Palin as counterterrorism expert.

Yikes.

"He said he's doing SOME of the same things as Bush. And he's pointing out that you are complaing about the things he is doing that are like Bush."

I didn't complain that he's not acting like Bush. You're a liar. I said he campaigned on change and now defends himself by saying he hasn't changed things. That's a fact no matter how pathetically you try to deny it.

"If he wasn't doing things differently, you and Palin wouldn't be whining so much. Certainly the GOP wouldn't be complaining about trying the Christmas bomber in civil court with a miranda warning."

I have no love for the GOP. You are making that up. The reason you are doing so is that in your small partisan hack of a mind, anyone who crtiicizes Obama at all is part of the GOP. It doesn't occur to you that someone can think for themselves and still find fault with your idol. Basically, you're too stupid to talk about this with someone like me.

"Look, I'm tired of dealing with stupid NOPers and liars NOPers. Go throw yourself off a bridge."

You're basically the same thing as a "NOPer" or whatever you want to call them: A fool who blindly follows a corrupt political party as if it were a sports team. What is amazing is the startling lack of self awareness you display in not realizing it. This country will not turn around as long as the majority of voters behave like you and the rest of the unthinking herd.

It shows a strong lack of confidence of leadership when one lives on the 'defensive'.. just more of the same of the past year.. use rhetoric to cover up the fact of the void of qualification of leadership.. becoming much more prevalent..

"I said he campaigned on change and now defends himself by saying he hasn't changed things. That's a fact no matter how pathetically you try to deny it. "

I don't see it that way at all. You're still generalizing too much. In certain areas, he makes that point--in national security (which he did not promise to change, beyond Gitmo and Iraq, but even the latter changed near the end of his campaign).

He (or his people) defends (perhaps) certain criticisms from the right by pointing out that he is using Bush policies, so why are said critics, who were in favor of those policies, being so critical? I have asked the same question on numerous occasions. The answer I often get is on the lines of "Well, uh, Bush was better. He kept us safe." Um, if it's the same system, then those critics are just bashing Obama why? 'Cause he's not Bush? Silly, silly behavior. (And yes, it's akin to the leftie supporters who assert Obama is better just 'cause he's not Bush. Both men have some admirable qualities. We should all try to admit that. And then be specific about specific criticisms.)

"It shows a strong lack of confidence of leadership when one lives on the 'defensive'.. just more of the same of the past year.. use rhetoric to cover up the fact of the void of qualification of leadership.. becoming much more prevalent.."

Hm. Seems I heard many Bush critics say exactly the same thing about that president. Mr. Bush often seemed to live solely on confidence and assertion.

Lets see. Gibbs said " The FBI interogated him for 50 min and we got all the information we needed" before he lawyered up.

Then - after taking heat - they use his parents to get him to talk again..and we are getting actionable information....but instead of keeping quite so we can use it....the Whitehouse says " he is talking again and we are getting some great new information...so it is either 1) they lied the first time or 2) they are lying this time.

So my bet is one - which just reinforces how incompetent this group is when it comes to terriorist

Obama is a fucking liar, incompetent, and an ass clown.

"I don't see it that way at all. You're still generalizing too much. In certain areas, he makes that point--in national security (which he did not promise to change, beyond Gitmo and Iraq, but even the latter changed near the end of his campaign)."

He also promised to stop torturing suspects, which I am assuming he did. And he generally promised to look over everything and make changes where needed any of number of times during his campaign. Many of his promises of "change" were vague. It it would be dishonest to contend now that he didn't campaign on change.

"He (or his people) defends (perhaps) certain criticisms from the right by pointing out that he is using Bush policies, so why are said critics, who were in favor of those policies, being so critical?"

They are morons. I'm not defending them. I just thought it was funny that Mr.Change is now defending himself by saying he's doing what Bush, a known moron, did. So I said so and then some unthinking partisan jackass tried to deny that this happened for reasons I would only be able to fathom if I were an unthinking partisan zombie.

SULLY: He also promised to stop torturing suspects, which I am assuming he did. And he generally promised to look over everything and make changes where needed any of number of times during his campaign. Many of his promises of "change" were vague. It it would be dishonest to contend now that he didn't campaign on change.

ME: Agreed, and I wouldn't make that argument. He did campaign on change, and many of us on the left are very upset that he has not so far lived up to that. But note the "so far." Many of us on the left are also willing to wait and see. Reality: Change takes time. Will he live up to it in the way I hoped (so to speak)? Probably not. Will that make me decide he's a liar and an asshole? No. Most likely not. Unless he does an about-face. Those who didn't see him as the centrist he is weren't paying attention. (Go ahead, righties: Jump on me and rant about socialism, neomarxism, and communism.)

+++++

ME: He (or his people) defends (perhaps) certain criticisms from the right by pointing out that he is using Bush policies, so why are said critics, who were in favor of those policies, being so critical?

SULLY: They are morons. I'm not defending them. I just thought it was funny that Mr.Change is now defending himself by saying he's doing what Bush, a known moron, did. So I said so and then some unthinking partisan jackass tried to deny that this happened for reasons I would only be able to fathom if I were an unthinking partisan zombie.

ME: I didn't see that argument they way you do. I didn't see anyone here try to deny that Obama campaigned on change. I saw someone make the same argument I did, but perhaps less clearly (given that mine seems to have been understood by you : ) ). Again, no one is saying, "See? He's just like Bush so it's okay." At least not that I've heard or read. I've seen the defense I described earlier. That's it. And I've seen lefties be upset (and I'm upset) that he is as much in the vein of the previous administration as he is in certain respects. But hey, nobody's prefect.

Sarah Palin as counterterrorism expert.

Yikes.

If little o is, she is.

"You're either with Obama, or you're with the terrorists"

Fuck you obama, it was you and your worthless leftwing marxist assclowns in the press that aided and abetted the enemies of America, you undermined the Bush administration and obstructed him from doing the things necessary to protect America, and when he did, you lied about his methods, fuck you, you worthless excuse for a human, just resign if you are unable to do the job outlined by our U.S. Constitution, not some fucking scribbling on a couple of banana peels. If you are unable to do the job let someone else who can, quit your whining and crying. The one question America has to ask is, " how many American military were killed because of the marxist press giving aide and comfort to the enemy as they maligned G.Bush, with their fake outrag, and lies? You are pathetic, all of you whining marxist, you are a blight on civilization, you serve no useful purpose.
Keep the backlash coming for this human trash and his cronies. We know you too well, you clown, you dunce.
