There is simply no way to overstate the degree of failure this episode reveals in our security. The ONLY reason this mission failed was because the device failed. Absolutely NO part of OUR system was in any way responsible for preventing a crash or saving a single life. Period.

At the risk of being redundant I would again point out that this man with no baggage, no passport, and a one-way ticket purchased with cash was allowed to board an US bound flight without being properly searched or questioned and was seated in a place on the aircraft that made him a particular danger to the flight if he detonated an explosive device.

And all the systems failed with Major Hasan, too.

At least two successful terror attacks under Obama’s watch.

Plenty of advance warnings, too. Totally overlooked.

GOP-it is time to start connecting the dots for American voters.

Themes for Nov. 2012:

—dems can’t be trusted with national security (too much political correctness)
—dems can’t be trusted with the economy (too much socialism)
