From: Hachiroku ハチロク on 30 Dec 2009 07:53 After Napolitano thrust her foot into her mouth up to her knee, Obama finally speaks and said there were holes in the system. One of his underlings said there wasn't enough information, and a reporter on NBC this morning parroted that. Gee, let's see. THE GUY'S FATHER CALLED A US EMBASSY AND TOLD THEM HE MIGHT TRY SOMETHING ON CHRISTMAS! How much more information do you need? Then they went on to say the CIA dropped the ball, and the information wasn't shared. Gee, isn't thatr what the CIA and it's predecessor, the OSS were set up to do? BTW, I believe the President made these remarks WITHOUT a teleprompter. The Onion would be proud.

The page-and-a-half section of the President's Daily Brief from 6 August 2001, headlined "Bin Ladin Determined To Strike in US," had generated the most contentious questioning in last week's testimony by national security adviser Condoleezza Rice before the commission investigating the September 11th attacks. Dr. Rice continued to insist that the Brief did not amount to a real warning, while several commissioners seemed to think otherwise. These contrasting interpretations dominated the weekend's news. For example, President Bush commented on Sunday that the "PDB said nothing about an attack on America. It talked about intentions, about somebody who hated America - well, we knew that. $B!D(B The question was, who was going to attack us, when and where, and with what." (Note A1) Meanwhile, the Sunday news analysis in The New York Times began with the following summary: "In a single 17-sentence document, the intelligence briefing delivered to President Bush in August 2001 spells out the who, hints at the what and points towards the where of the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington that followed 36 days later."

This may all be true, but it doesn't explain how many attempts to attack the United States were foiled until the Kids took over. Eight years without another attack on US soil, a record broken by the Obama administration.

There were plenty of attempts foiled. And I thought Bush sucked. But it appears he was a better manager the Obumbler. |
