The only way the gov’t could claim credit for “thwarting” either bombing would have been if the bombers went to public school and were thus too dumb to make their bombs work.
Apologies if anybody else already said this.
Team Obama want to call it ‘thwarting’ so that they can take credit.
Recall Napolitano saying ‘the system worked’ and the briefs bomber was also ‘thwarted’. [Neither of which were true in actuality.]
Otherwise, they would appear to be incompetent — both the terrorists who failed and the government officials who failed.
Great point. LOL!
