“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. ;)

We need to be stocking up on ammo. If this isn't an invitation to hit us again, I don't know what is.

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.

"Obama could care less about the mission..."

GRRRR.
COULDN'T care less. Can't anybody write the English language any more?

[LouAvul]

The true intentions of our sitting President is not to be victorious in Afghanistan, not to protect the American people from another attack, not to do everything he can to make sure that this country is safe from future attacks, it’s for one reason only. To shore up support for himself in his own party.

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.

Bolton: I think he is ‘show that’ and I think the American people have the wit to know what that means,”

Call me wit impaired. What does 'show that' mean?!

Impeachment is imperative.

I hope that on Nov 6, 2012 someone asks that snarky SOB what his exit strategy from the WH is. Do you think Mic-hell will trash the WH? You just know she is a sore loser. Hell, she is a sore winner.

Obama is divorced from the American people

We were never married. He date raped the country after getting 52.9% of the electorate drunk.

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?

[kevslisababy]

My son is a Marine heading to Afghanistan in December, and as far as I’m concerned, this shithead just gave our enemies the green light to take any of us out where ever we are, especially our troops.

He has made it apparent that it just isn’t a concern for him.

Sorry for the profanity, but I’m absolutely livid.

[Outlaw Woman]

Someone remind me why this man has not been charged with treason. Please...I'm having a very difficult time with WHY THIS MAN IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE when he should be drug out of the WH by his ears and tried. I cannot understand why this is continuing and no attempts at intervention is being made. There is plenty of documentation and evidence.

Bolton/Pence ticket for 2012.

Bolton can kill 0bama on national security and international matters. Pence can handle the domestic agenda.

I have a dread that the “we can absorb a terrorist attack” quote will be in campaign ads because we will have done the same.

“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.”

If this is the president's logic, then couldn't one come to the conclusion that he has a desire for another attack because said attack would make the country stronger?

[tired1]

If the book is accurate … it is some of the most cold-blooded, cynical, grotesquely political manipulation of national security that I think we’ve ever seen.”

He’s just a piker. Look into FDR and Pearl Harbor. Many decripts have become available in recent years.

[sydbas]

but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger

Seems to me that in this absurd statement he unwittingly gives credit to President Bush for us being stronger.
