Personally, I think punk-in-chief was all set to blame DOS (Hillary) and CIA (Panetta) today, but Bill Clinton interceded to warn him that hed better not or all hell would break looseNot a half bad thought. Would explain why the address was pushed back several times, and the lack of any real substance or detail when we'd been prepped to be "shocked."

Democrats don’t believe in Christ. Why would they bother to celebrate Christmas? They really should be at work since the season has no import to them.
To: Eroteme
Given that Bill Clinton had a meeting with him, that’s all I could reasonably come up with and Hillary has been deafeningly silent, as though she were trying go unnoticed. That pesky VISA DOS issued to the Nigerian.

The reality. This administration is simply a clone of the Clinton years, but with a few extra darker skinned folks running the show. It really is that simple. Why do so many folks here spin around in agony as to what he or she did not do. Don't be stuck on stupid. Throw some brown paint on BJ and the Mrs. and you have zero and his soul mate.
This is what the American people in majority wanted. This is what the rest of us got.

This is not a big deal unless you are a republican.

None of those people did anything. By the time they heard about the problem, it had been dealt with, by a passenger.
Now CBS wants to make it a victory for long distance micro-management.

JJ ought to be able to clue every one in....
We have no policy for defending the country anymore. Nothing proactive in any sense or practice.
The reactive policy is what you see now, a blame game, pass the buck, dodge the hard ball facts.

We simply have a clone of the BJ administration. Pure and simple. One does not need to pull ones hair out in the pursuit of trying to figure it out.

Just saw that moments before. Koppel's wrong, our policy is nonexistent and Obama is negligent to the point of malfeasance of office.

Someone has to explain why our Feckless Leader wasn't kept up to speed through daily intel briefings....or did they delay his tee time? The intel on the panty bomber may well have been in the loop from some no name CIA agent in Lagos, passed over due to the cavalier attitude at the top that trickled down to the sycophant intel chiefs below (also on vacation, I might add). You're right on the mark, JJ. We ain't got strategy, we ain't got disciplined and rigorous intelligence, we got squat.
(Dave, you and I know that everyday we had had recaps of collections to read before you sailed or I flew. Some from us and a lot from others.)

I have to hit the rack. Briefly .... we are screwed. Duncan Hunter would have been the only wise choice for the American voter to elect to the spot of POTUS. Tis that simple.
And I am not going to respond on this issue. Don't like it... get screwed.
