It might also be instructive to get annual crop tonnage for years BEFORE the Taliban came to power, as they were responsible for the end of the bumper poppy crops.
Obama, he said, “seems to think that if he gives terrorists the rights of Americans, lets them lawyer up and reads them their Miranda rights, we won’t be at war.
“He seems to think that if he closes Guantanamo and releases the hardcore al Qaeda-trained terrorists still there, we won’t be at war.”
“Why doesn’t he want to admit we’re at war?” asked Cheney — then answered the question: “It doesn’t fit with what seems to be the goal of his presidency — social transformation, the restructuring of American society.”
I literally stood up & applauded when I heard him say this on TV
White House counterterrorism chief John Brennan is maintaining the system to protect the U.S. against attack worked successfully this year apart from the Christmas Day bombing attempt — a claim that seems to downplay the notion that deadly attacks at Fort Hood in Texas and a military recruiting center in Arkansas represented a failure of intelligence gathering.
Asked Sunday on NBC’s “Meet The Press” about the lead-up to the Christmas Day attack, Brennan said, “Every other day the system has worked this year....The system is working. It's just not working as well as it needs to constantly.”

Brennan: Deal ‘on the table’ for terror suspect
The U.S. Government is offering the suspect charged with attempting to bomb an aircraft on Christmas Day, Omar Abdulmutallab, some kind of incentives to share what he knows about Al Qaeda, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan said Sunday.
Asked why Abdulmutallab should cooperate given his right, as criminal defendant, to remain silent, Brennan replied: “He doesn't have to but he knows there are certain things that are on the table... if he wants to engage with us in a productive manner, there are ways he can do that.”
Asked if Abdulmutallab's willingness to talk changed once he had an attorney, Brennan declined to answer. “I'm not going to address what he did before or after he talked with a lawyer,” the adviser said.
Brennan declined to say what criteria are used to decide whether a prisoner should be taken into criminal court or before a military commission. “There are no downsides or upsides in particular cases,” he said. “What we're trying to do is make the right determination in particular cases.”http://bit.ly/5iJmSq
Women, babies and diapers or women’s monthly equipment comes to mind. Prostheses too.
Also, that list of 7 countries doesn’t even begin to scrutinize every place these asshats are coming from.
THEN throw us under the bus again and again
This one requires a BS meter
Brennan also weighed in on former Vice President Dick Cheney’s criticism of the president’s anti-terrorism policies, saying Cheney is intentionally misstating Obama’s position or is ignorant of the facts.
Last week the former vice president said Obama is “trying to pretend” the U.S. is not at war with terrorists. The result, according to Cheney, is that Americans are less safe.
Brennan said that he has worked for five administrations and that Obama is as determined as anyone to keep the nation safe.
Brennan called Cheney’s comments disappointing and said they do not speak well of the former vice president.

He almost murdered 300 Americans and they are offerring him a DEAL?
Shocking, isn’t it?
Perhaps next we’ll be offering him a beer summit at the White House, with the hero who took him down on the flight.
Funny cuz tis true
~tears at how blatant this administration has gone socialist
This has me so angry right now. They are cutting a deal with a guy who tried to blow 300 innocent people out of the sky. obama still has not acknowledged that Fort Hood was also a terror attack. Now he’s going to have a “safety summit”. His top security people say the system worked and that there is no smoking gun. Our national security has become a joke.
Infrastructure can be defined at BEST as paths, some dating back hundreds of years, zig-zagging up mountain sides or often vertical faces, barely wide enough for a mule and occasional “pass by” wider curves.
Luckily traffic is extremely sparse and usually skirt wearing mountain tribesmen without any beasts. To avoid being spotted as a outsider I wore a khaki turban and long skirt over my khaki trousers.
