Obama’s task in office, the task given to him by his puppet-masters: Destroy the United States while maintaining plausible deniability.

The idea is for Obama to do as much damage as possible without doing anything quite so overt as actually nuking any American cities.

"There was no single piece of intelligence that said, 'this guy is going to get on a plane.'"
Almost word for word after 9-11.

FBI: Maybe more terror clues missed
Meeting with reporters Wednesday, Mueller expressed more uncertainty than he had previously displayed on whether the September 11 attacks could possibly have been prevented.
He repeated his previous assertion that no single piece of intelligence available to the FBI would have revealed the plot.

Online NewsHour: Family Views -- April 9, 2004
MARGARET WARNER: What Dr. Rice said, of course, was that there was no real silver bullet that she believed would have prevented the attacks.
STEPHEN PUSH: Well, that's kind of a hedge. It has been one they have been using since Sept. 12, 2001. No, there is no single piece of intelligence, no single action that could have been taken. But there were a series of missteps.

This sh|t is getting old!

Is a father who warns the US Embassy a smoking gun?

Here’s thought:

We had warnings that a “Nigerian” would try to get a bomb aboard a U.S. airliner.

The Saudis briefed the White House about the “underwear bomb”.

Based on these two indicators, we could have directed that all males with Nigerian passports be subjected to secondary screening prior to being allowed to board any U.S. airliner. Seems a reasonable approach to me.

Yes they actually do. They think that their “words” are enough to make us blindly follow. See, it worked with the campaign, but the facts and their “words” are now in different universes, as Rush suggests...the universe of lies and the universe of the truth. This can't go on much longer without it snapping. I think the media will be cursed for blindly following this charlatan.

For additional “insider” information on the war on terror, much of which you will not have heard elsewhere, I invite all Freepers to visit and participate in The Terrorism and Intelligence Blog at http://terrorismandintelligence.blogspot.com/

This is like a receiver getting wide open in the end zone and the defenders telling their coach that they didn’t blow their coverage assignments.

Are they going to use that excuse when some “isolated extremist” detonates a nuke from the top of Sears Tower?

I hope this guy's estupido statement gets the play that Napolitano's estupido statement got.

She was not and will not be fired, nor will she resign, but at least she's recognized now as an inept fool......and she's skating on thin ice. One more slip of her forked tongue and she'll be out.

Hope this Dumb Dilbert "security adviser" for Obama eventually meets a similar fate.

Both of them are educated far beyond their competence.

That is because someone else bought his ticket, paid cash. He didn't even have a passport (per some reports). No luggage (per some reports).

And his father had just recently reported concerns to officials.

How much info does it take?

“We had bits and pieces of information,” Brennan said on CNN’s “State of the Union.” The father’s warning, he said, was “one set of data.”

That’s the very nature of intelligence. You’re expected to tie bits and pieces together based on experience, knowledge, and history. Rarely do you have the good fortune of having all of the ‘tiles’ that enable you to clearly see the full picture of the mosaic. It doesn’t get much easier than having the “father’s warning”; that was KEY information. A gift in intelligence terms. These people are rank amateurs.

It certainly appears to be so.

“There was no single piece of intelligence that said, ‘this guy is going to get on a plane.’”

Other then, perhaps, applying for a visa in England and being denied, and didn’t he then get a US visa?

Seems our crew can’t even get hindsight correct, and that’s tough because hindsight is the only exact science.

I saw this interview, and he was a complete weasel, refusing to answer any questions directly, and using mealy-mouthed language that would make Harry Reid blush. Made me angry to listen to him on - where else - CNN!

OMG. The bomb was the smoking gun. There were at least 4 red flags that went up between October and Christmas.
