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.).
Yep, his polls on terrorism must be bad...leaking an old story for sympathy.
Commie propaganda.
