The Bush Administration is the one that let a couple million people in a small area, not the Obama Administration. I don’t believe this story, and if they are trying to take credit for blocking a terrorist attack they must think we are really dumb, because Bush/Cheney still held the keys to the kingdom.

Unlikely - For terrorists that would be like killing the doorman of the Ritz.

I kind of suspected that when Obama gave his speech behind a wall of 2 foot thick bulletproof glass.

What total malarkey! Why wait a year to “tell” the public? I notice they went right ahead with the coronation last year which took DC weeks to clear away. Didn’t seem to be such a major concern then.

Yeah right. The REAL spectacular terror attack took place the instant Barry put his right hand on the Q'uran Bible.

Nothing but White House leaked spin to take the heat off the smoking butt terorist story. This, so they can say “see, we get hundreds of reports, we can’t investigate them all, and most don’t amount to anything.” Of course, the sheeple will buy it.

Another spin they take is to always blame the “evil” agencies (CIA, FBI, etc.) while sparing the “good agencies” (TSA, Commerce, etc.).

Would it not be more proper to say that THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT failed to stop the Christmas 2009 attack. Just like it was THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT that failed to stop 9-11? That would include all federal agencies, and a prudent analysis could identify all the weak areas (State department, for example, the “Gorelick Wall”, Obama’s directives, etc.).

“WASHINGTON — As millions converged on Washington last year to witness the inauguration of President Barack Obama, security officials were concerned that among them were extremists traveling from Somalia to set off explosives as Obama took the oath of office.”

How courageous, brave, and selfless! Where is is Medal of Honor, Purple Heart, etc, etc, etc!

I think after all the heat the administration is catching over the war, Hasan shooting up Ft. Hood and the would-be Christmas bomber they are trying to make up stuff to get Obama some better polling numbers. They are trying to make up some ground by saying they thwarted one.

Any yet, somehow, I just don't think they're quite as fearful about terrorist attacks against we, the lesser folk. Call me crazy, but that's just the way it appears to me.

There are neo-nazi meth addicts in Somalia? Because that was the threat that the media ran stories about at the time.

Why would Somalis want to hurt sympathizers? That’s crazy.

Good grief, this article is a joke.

Wasn't odinga present at the coronation? I thought there was more danger coming from obama's clan than from any terrorist - If the coronation did not go through than odinga would have acted as he had in his own country.

Nonsense, why would terrorists attack their newest ally and kindred spirit?
