Eh, don't worry, America. If there is another 9/11-like terror attack, The One says that we can "absorb it" and just become "stronger" because of it. It's as if he wants it to happen, or something!
In his latest book, Bob Woodward encountered a President Obama that seemed to casually blow off worry of another terror attack. The Washington Post gave us a sneak preview of Woodward's newest tome where Obama acted so flippantly toward another 9/11. (my bold)
Woodward's book portrays Obama and the White House as barraged by warnings about the threat of terrorist attacks on U.S. soil and confronted with the difficulty in preventing them. During an interview with Woodward in July, the president said, "We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever we absorbed it and we are stronger."If we are "stronger," and that is entirely debatable, it certainly isn't because of anything the Obama administration has done.
In fact Obama has done his level best to make us more vulnerable. From reducing the threat status, to eliminating intelligence programs that were getting results, to simply sending drones to wipe out terrorists (that then take any actionable intelligence to the gave), even to making a mockery of our strength by using childish euphemisms such as "overseas contingency operations," Obama has taken America off its security footings...

"Locked" means no more response posts can be made. I can still see the topic.
And I know what I posted or read posted before it was removed.
You must have a lot of time on your hands today.
He should lead by example, and show us how to absorb the attack.
I think your translation is right!
“Just goes to show how cold and detached he is.”
It isn’t being detached. It’s his hatred for the USA shining thru once again.
“I am totally speechless. *shakes head* My Border Collie is smarter than this idiot.”
I have to agree with the sentiment.
What obama really does not understand is THE AMERICAN FAMILY will rise up this time and there will be no controlling them.
Mob rule will hit the streets if there is another 9/11.
Do you really believe that he isn’t itching to declare martial law for the weapon-grabbing potential? Do you think it’s unrealistic to expect plants to stir up dissent and incite violence for same?
Sometimes you read things, and when you go back, they’re not there any more. It’s a matter of timing.
Marvelous strategy! :)
