#2 And where was Obama? He was surfing in Hawaii and skipping Church.

Take two aspirin and call me in the morning.

When the Fort Hood killings happened he cautioned us "not to jump to conclusions" about Moslems. And the FBI powdered their butts before they ever got to the scene and said they had it all under control. But we know how good the FBI was on that one, dont we.? They knew about the clown a year ahead of time and gave him a pass. Way to go, Fosdick.

yeah. you sure can depend on your government to protect the Public. Who was that guy who said he had it all under contriol after Reagan got shot? The guy who ran the Concentration Camps in Vietnam when he was a General under Johnson. That guy. What was his name?

lets all stand up and salute when Obama comes into the room.

#3 ....they said, "dealt a huge blow to the myth of American and global intelligence services and showed how fragile its structure is."

Nearly 10 years following 9/11 our intelligence services and government have learned much, but continue to deny everything. The wonderful faith of Islam must not be tarnished.

"Kill them [infidels, namely Christians and Jews] wherever you may come upon them, and seize them, and confine them, and lie in wait for them at every conceivable place."
- Sura 9:5

#4 And where was Obama? He was surfing in Hawaii and skipping Church.

Now now, we didn't object when Dubya was visiting his ranch in Crawford.

We assume presidents are always in contact and always have the information and access they need to make decisions, and then see those decisions through.

It isn't where Bambi was, it was the lack of understanding, the lack of decision-making, the lack of fortitude, and the lack of personal integrity.

#5 ...PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB! Unless of course it's about Barry winning another Nobel Prize. Then please ring until someone answers.

#6 Napolitano Says No Evidence Yet Airplane Bomb Plot Part of 'Anything Larger"
Ummm, Ms. Napolitano, in case you missed it while you were trying to figure out how to build a Potemkin Village of security, it's a larger plot called the Radical Violent Muslim War against the infidel and the West. A good start would be to read The Looming Towers by Lawrence Wright. Then you might understand why (since the first WTC bombing in 1993 and leading up to 2009 when there were 28 "Man-Made" successful or attempted attacks), that this is something larger.

#7 As if we needed additional confirmation.

Wall Street Journal: "Al Qaeda's affiliate in Yemen claimed responsibility for the attack on Northwest Flight 253." Link

Of course if you don't believe your lying eyes...

#8 Nearly 10 years following 9/11 our intelligence services and government have learned much, but continue to deny everything. The wonderful faith of Islam must not be tarnished.

Actually, I'm kind of skeptical myself now.

Why is it just when certain middle-eastern countries are getting their knickers in a twist over Shi'a rebels in Yemen, _suddenly_ there are ineffectual terrorist attacks being done supposedly by Al-Qaeda-in-Yemen? This, combined with the confession you quote, all seem just too _convenient_ to me.

You talk about how noone wants to talk about Islam. You know what bugs me?

Noone wants to talk about the Moslem Brotherhood in particular, which seems to play a key role in changing the people in the Middle East from Moslems we can live with to Moslems we can't.

It's a network with a much higher correlation with terrorism than Islam in general, and we let it run mosques in this country as if it's just another religious organization.

Another thing noone talks about, that's gone completely under the radar... Hasan was an advisor to "President" zero's transition team. Imagine if a member of Bush's transition team had shot up an abortion clinic... the dems would have held an impeachment vote by now. Hasan was also up to his neck in connections to various Brotherhood organizations.

Keep in mind that the end result of attacking those guys in Yemen will be to have american troops fighting one batch of Moslems on behalf of other sets of Moslems. You're talking tough now, but are you tough enough to maybe try not to let the country become another pawn to be used by one group of Moslems against another?

#9 Now now, we didn't object when Dubya was visiting his ranch in Crawford.

As it happens W had an operations center at Crawford and could operate from there almost as easily as at the White House (probably easier without all of the hangers on in DC).

BHO has nothing when he is jet-setting around the world and vacationing on the US taxpayers dime & time.

#10 He has his Blackberry. And I rather suspect his aides have some other comms. But your point is well taken.

#11 That is another thing - I wonder how 'compromised' his Blackberry is... Given the recent examples of White House Security.

I strongly suspect that already has happened/I happening right now.

I just hope we're not duped into backing the wrong side, and I do expect trouble out of the Mideast (Bubbling fermenting) Religious cesspit for decades to come.

#13 * Year 2012 Benchmark > ISLAMIST IRAN declares it is not only a de facto NUCLEAR STATE, but a NUCLEAR WEAPONS STATE [See NORTH KOREA = Kimmie]

* Year 2013 > POTUS BAMMER Second Term, or his POTUS Successor > RADICAL ISLAM MAY ALL BUT OFFCIALLY? DECLARE THE US HAS LOST THE GWOT/WOT due to TECHS TRANSFER-PROLIFER TO VARIOUS ISLAMIST, OTHER WORLD MILITANT-TERR GROUPS.

D *** NG IT, MORIARITY, 2013 > SURRENDER, OR THET MILTERRS WON'T SEND FLOWERS, SAD CONDOLENCES AFTER THEY KILL US!

You can take it to the bank that we have been duped into supporting the wrong side. It has been a religious cesspit since Islam first reared its ugly head. Ultimately I see only one reliable course of action. No need to say it out loud, it'll never happen.

FWIW, a knowledgeable friend took pictures of Bush's 'small' motorcade when he went to visit one of his daughters at school.

One of those SUVs had a BAD-ASSED comms rig.

#16 Great. He's got his Crackberry. Is it the same one that was the one he used when he sent out his "private" opinion on Kanye West? Because if it is, he may as well use Facebook and Twitter.

Yep, we are all in the very best of hands with the smartest president evah.
