“We can absorb a terrorist attack. We’ll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger.”
What’s wrong with that? It is cautious and wise, I can’t believe he said it. ;)
I do not think the reason is to shore himself up.
His actions only make sense if he is islamic.
The link isn’t working. I saw the whole thing today and am so glad Gateway is writing about it...but we need the link up and running.
GRRRR.
COULDN'T care less. Can't anybody write the English language any more?
I'm astounded! Not at the truth of this statement, but that anybody with half a brain would be surprised at the truth of this statement.
DemoRATs and RINOs are in agreement that the function of politics is solely to protect and preserve their jobs and their useless lives. America is expendable to them.
Link is dead.
No, Mr. President, my family and my community cannot “absorb” a terrorist attack. And neither can yours. Yes, our nation is strong and resilient, but terrorist attacks are not something we simply “absorb.” To speak about them in that way displays a shocking lack of empathy for victims and a disturbing absence of the resolve requisite to prevent them.
Call me wit impaired. What does 'show that' mean?!
Impeachment is imperative.
Just click on “home” at the gateway pundit site and it will go to the page.
Whats wrong with that is the whole idea is to prevent another 9/11. Hearing this from the commander-in-chief of the worlds most powerful military is beyond scary . Just who the Hell is Obama to be so cavalier with Americans lives and the nations security? This guys off his rocker.
We were never married. He date raped the country after getting 52.9% of the electorate drunk.
What in the world is “wise” about that?
We didn’t “absorb” 9/11 - we went to war to make sure it wouldn’t happen again. The fact that the left immediately backed out and made it clear that they didn’t care if it happened again is immaterial: Bush fought back, and he also struggled mightily to keep American confidence and keep our economy and system from collapsing.
People laugh about Bush telling everybody to go out and shop, but it was necessary. And our survival wasn’t easy or automatic. People trusted Bush and they knew that he hated the enemy and that we were all standing up to the enemy.
Obama is possibly such a dim bulb that he doesn’t realize all that Bush did. Or he’s more than likely such a traitor that he doesn’t give a hoot for what happens to us.
See, I’m torn - I don’t doubt Woodward’s account, but Woodward is also a big freakin’ demonstrable liar (see Bill Casey). What to believe? What to believe?
“We can absorb a terrorist attack”
You first Obozo!!!

“absorb” equals “acceptable losses”
It’s “acceptable” when you’re in AF1 in or in a super-secret bunker.
“Could care less” is a New Yorkism. It means the same as “couldn’t care less.”
