We are at war with terrorists who conduct lone wolf suicide attacks. Obama's security team allows a potentially catastrophic breach at a state visit honoring India around the one year anniversary of the Mumbai attacks.
Our enemies are chortling at their good fortune that our country is run by such fools.

Im sure the gatecrashers were as thoroughly wanded and bomb-sniffed as every other attendee. What would be hilarious, and at the same time, infuriating, would be if the crashers turned out to be minorities or members of the ROP and the USSS didnt push the issue out of political correctness.

Oh, man. Those security personnel will soon be posted in Khandahar for training. Screwed the pooch but good.

No chance of prosecution - they have an open and shut insanity defense.
You'd have to be insane to want to be anywhere’s near that room full of idiots.

Im sure the gatecrashers were as thoroughly wanded and bomb-sniffed as every other attendee. If they meant harm it would be trivial for them to have a small wooden pipe and a couple of small poisoned darts. Michaele could have even stuck the darts into her dress and nobody would understand what they are. No metal or bomb detector can detect those. They were within feet from the Indian PM. It was a huge security lapse.

Posted this earlier on another thread ... seating at this type of WH function is carefully arranged. If these two individuals managed to get in ... their departure, prior to seating, would most certainly been noticed. Me thinks this is BS ... show me the pictures.

With all the protocol gaffes and now this security lapse, one wonders what other “lapses” have occurred since Jan 2009.
Ah, but I doubt anything in Zero’s administration measures up to the open trashing of security that we witnessed under the Clintons.
(See “Unlimited Access” by Gary Aldrich for more information on that.

As I said on another thread, Tareq Salahi is probably a fellow traveler of Obama’s. It’s quite possible the USSS let security slip because of political correctness.

Actually Obama himself is the biggest security risk to the United States of America.

This guy is listed as being on The American Task Force on Palestine. They are "a not-for-profit organization that advocates to the American people the national security interests of the United States in establishing a Palestinian state." Here's a link to their website:

“...An administration official said the White House will conduct its own review.”
That is the clue there is something fishy. The WH staff may have handled one check point instead of the Secret Service for some reason best known to themselves. Interesting!!!

What if this were a
Pakistani couple with LeT-ties, trying to get to the Prime Minister of India?
I would say BIG DEAL.
They ought to really throw the book at those two tresspassers on OUR soil at OUR White House...and White House better have a full review of procedures, that's all I can say. They ought to know also that it is a matter of time before somebody tries something in midtown Manhattan with KSM.
