President Obama said Tuesday that a “systemic failure” on multiple levels allowed a passenger armed with explosives to board a Detroit-bound flight last week.
The president, in his most extensive comments so far on what went wrong in the security process, said information about the terror suspect was not properly shared among intelligence agencies. He said that information, particularly a warning to authorities from the 23-year-old suspect’s father in Nigeria, should have landed him on a no-fly list well before he boarded the Northwest Airlines flight in Amsterdam.
“The warning signs would have triggered red flags and the suspect would have never been allowed to board that plane for America,” Obama said. “A systemic failure has occurred, and I consider that totally unacceptable.”
He said a mix of “human and systemic failures” contributed to what could have been a “catastrophic breach of security.”

Obama was panned on F&F this morning. His statement yesterday about the underwear bomber “allegedly” setting off an explosive device and his being an “isolated extremist” brought ridicule by the Peter Johnson and Kilmeade — they agreed that Obama had no passion in his voice and his comments sounded like a law school professor out of touch with reality.

I’m outta here until the football talk ceases. BBL, maybe.
