His priority was to conduct a TV interview that day and nothing else really mattered. Heads should roll, and it should begin with his.
Up until this week I at least thought they had a clue of some sort. Now I know I was wrong. They are clueless. They are all having a grand ole time on our dime. I am sure they have hangovers most of the time. They are all high and mighty pushing “diversity” and “social justice” on the masses.
The pathetic excuse I read in another thread about Clapper NOT being briefed on the matter was just that, pathetic.
Can one imagine knowing “the boss” was doing an interview on National television with Diane Sawyer, and Napolitano, and nobody briefing the man. Nobody bringing him up to date.
This is one of the most mismanaged misAdministrations perhaps ever. These people can’t find their butts with either, or both hands together.
They know what is going on but they have an agenda that they are committed to which makes them look incompetent.
Can you imagine if President Bush’s intelligence agency did this? Nipalitano saying, “we’re ready 24/7 364 days.” and now Clapper had absolutely no clue about terrorist attacks on our closest ally. Geez!
What concerns me is that the DHS has become a Gestapo-like organization that’s more worried about Obama’s domestic political opposition than international terrorists. That would explain why the border and Islamic terrorists are getting no scrutiny whatsoever.
Their main interest is finding an evil Christian militia somewhere so they can pull an OKC on it. So far they haven’t had much luck.
If ever our enemies want to do us harm they’d better do it now what with this incompetent regime.
One thing we can’t overlook is the director’s proposed “solution” to the terrorist threat.
He wants to open a “dialog” with Muslims. That’s the problem, you see. No one is listening to them, while they threaten to kill all non-Muslims.
They are just misunderstood, doncha know. Liberals are idiots.
Apparently, someone has the laughable idea that it’s the job of government agencies to “know what they’re doing.”
Nothing could be farther from the truth.
It’s the job of government agencies to waste taxpayer money employing the hard core unemployable and setting road blocks in the way of ordinary Americans to stroke the pathetic egos of imbeciles. Period.
Clapper Off-
Lights out
-nobody home,
Security?
There is only one way to deal with government failure like this: send them even more of our tax dollars. /sarcasm
This was a very serious lack of knowledge on the part of DHS, and Clapper. Watching the video, you can tell he was caught red-handed with no clue, and he looked the part. Even the dim Obama admin must wince when things like this happens.
The Department of Homeland Security has bigger fish to fry that worrying about terrorists and terrorist plots.
Their goal is to turn America and its citizens into placid, compliant sheep ... to invade the personal space of law-abiding citizens with naked Xrays and invasive searches, and to invade the public space with “citizen snitch” programs rolled out at WalMart, et al.
The goal is to make all Americans inured to government intrusions of all types. The “War on Terror” and the threat of terrorism are just convenient excuses.
If this government gave a damn about Homeland Security we would not have 15+ million illegal aliens roaming freely, and borders like sieves.
No one in the administration can bring themselves to accuse anyone who has comitted a terrorist act, a terrorist. That runs the risk of upsetting them even more.
If the risk level wasn't excalating, it would be humorous.
