Yeah, got to get him out there to say "It's a credible threat." What? Other terrorist threats aren't credible? Like blowing up a plane in a Detroit suburb? No need to rush to a microphone for that. The Ft. Hood jihadi wasn't credible? How did anyone know then there wouldn't be several others across the country working together?
Don't call them terrorists, don't jump to conclusions, oh, but unarmed devices on two planes is a "credible threat" and "we're taking this seriously" and "Al Qaeda is behind this."
This.
