On December 26, two days after Nigerian Omar Abdulmutallab allegedly attempted to use underwear packed with plastic explosives to blow up the Amsterdam-to-Detroit flight he was on, and as it became clear internally that the Administration had suffered perhaps its most embarrassing failure in the area of national security, senior Obama White House aides, including chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod and new White House counsel Robert Bauer, ordered staff to begin researching similar breakdowns -- if any -- from the Bush Administration.

I don’t recall getting this kind of leak from the Clinton admin. Suppose this is real? It is credible; it’s the Chicago way.

Their solution to a Terrorist Attack is to search through the archives for a similar failure in the Bush Administration?
Grasping at straws.
If true, this makes them look all the more incompetent as they would have to have ignored previous problems and did not do anything fix them.
Napolitano was correct in her original summation that the PASSENGERS are the principal force in national security.
apparently by Axelrod and Emmanuel and Bauer(Anita Dunn’s husband, the newest zealot on the block) tasking staffers to declassify information to make Bush look bad- those staffers are being asked to become traitors
Now we know who is running the country’s response to another al Qaeda domestic attack while bambi, Biden and Pelosi are on tropical vacations
Note the incredible chutzpah of this troika starting a spin campaign accusing the GOP of politicizing national security by questions and criticisms! DeMint is being singled out by name, along with Cheney of course. Godspeed, gentlemen
Blaming Bush doesn’t stop panty bombers. Bummer administration, welcome to the real world.
This is more than asking people to be politically disloyal to President Bush. This is presenting a blueprint of what America knows, or doesn’t, right out where our enemies can see it. One of the best things George W. Bush did was to keep mum even though it was pushed to a fault.
Oy vey, Bummer, the gift that keeps giving.
Shred documents? Destroy hard drives? No, don't bother, just leave them for the reporters to find.
The system is corrupt, and they don't even bother to deny it any more. "We won, and we'll do what we like, and we don't care what you think about it."
classified information is not the property of the White House to use in opposition research
It belongs to the People of the United States of America, and is to be kept safe for our benefit and protection
as usual the narcissists running our country fail to grasp that distinction
and now, in these fragile times, we can wonder how much precious agency and analyst time is being directed by this White House to search the past for an excuse to smear Bush, instead of using all our analysts’ efforts to look FORWARD to try to deter the next attack!
“This White House doesn’t view the Northwest [Airlines] failure as one of national security, it’s a political issue,”...
Are you kidding me? I don’t have the time to write about all of the ramifications of this statement and no one has the time to read them anyway, but these jokers need come to the understanding very quickly that this is not some kind of game. It’s simple. The terrorists want to kill us. What is not so simple is stopping them. Forget the politics. Do your job.
So does anyone have to guess what the preliminary investigation results will be when they are released later today? They are going to try the “Bush’s fault” line once too often and this will be the straw that broke the camel’s back.

Allegedly?
OBOZO and his Band of Dispicable GOONS are OUTRAGEOUS!!!!
THREE DAYS AFTER a CATASTROPHIC TERROR ATTACK WERE CONSUMED BY OBOZO’S GOONS TRYING TO POLITICIZE IT!!!! AND BLAMEING OTHERS!! RATHER THAN ADDRESSING THE SECURITY AND WELL BEING OF THREE HUNDRED MILLION UNITED STATES INNOCENT CIVILIANS!!
UNFREAKIN OUTRAGEOUS!!! and the Whole TIME THE KENYAN VILLAGE IDIOT GOLFED AND MADE MERRY ON HIS EIGHTEENTH MILLIONTH VACATION SINCE TAKING OFFICE ELEVEN OUTRAGEOUS MONTHS AGO!!!

This is an impeachable offense. The foremost duty of the President is to protect the United States of America. It is not to win re-election.

They can't. They have no idea what to do, and no fire in the belly to drive them to do it. They honestly think George Bush was the threat to America. They are beginning to realize the true threat was Islamic extremism and it's a totally new idea to them. Every ounce of fight they had in them was used against the non-enemy of George Bush and Dick Cheney and the US military.
They have been caught flat-footed and have no idea what do do or how to do it.
