Except for someone else telling us, the discovery of a threat in Great Britain today, the US would be clueless about a terrorist threat delivered again by means of airplanes. One source is quoted as: "The packages were discovered in England and Dubai late Thursday after a foreign intelligence service picked up information related to Yemen and passed it on to the U.S., one official said.
One would think that Obama's homeland security team would be all over the airplane angle. After all, it's only been 9 years since 9/11.
Except for foreigners, we'd be hurting again. And that doesn't give much hope for the future, does it?
It shouldn't: now we know that Obama is clueless in D.C. Clueless is the only way to describe his attitude. He wants to "absorb" another terrorist hit.
No getting around it, “O” is dumb as dirt!
Good catch.
I’m sure we’ll hear him give them credit and warm thanks when he speaks in a few minutes./s
Why does your link point back to FreeRepuclic.com?
It is customary that the link points to the source.
The report I read said that the package in Dubai bound for Chicago was an explosive.
When Neil Cavuto came on just a bit ago, he was also wondering where in the world our system was.
Our line of defense is Dubai and Britain and not us???
He’s not dumb, he’s dangerous. An attack on the US would be a just the ticket to ram more of his socialist agenda through under the guise that we need the protection. Imagine having all communications controlled by the WH just before an election. All kinds of shenanigans could be pulled.
When are airlines that originate traffic in the middle east that fly to the U.S. going to get serious about boarding
security? Are they taking naked shots of passengers and feeling them up over there?
You are on Bloggers and Personal and not on news/activism. It points back to FR because this is the forum in which people can post self-written threads.
There is also a religion forum, a general/chat forum, a GOP club forum, etc.
If one hits the “everything” link, then you get to see all posts from all forums. I suspect you might have done this.
If he had as many arms as a Hindu god, they’d all be patting himself on the back. :>)
LOL!
Hey, let’s down a shot of whiskey every time Obama says “terror,” “terrorist” or “terrorism” in his speech.
Oh wait, never mind. That wouldn’t be any fun at all!
We aren’t serious. We are in reactive mode. We got lucky. That’s it pure and simple.
Obama doesn’t want to offend the muslims, so he won’t do the dirty work of human intelligence to find out what we need to know.
Yemen has killed our people again and again, and Obama just goes along with them.
Well....if it’s Maker’s Mark I’m with you to the last drop.
We were simply lucky. This is pure reaction on our part. We didn’t discover anything. We didn’t know anything.
And he’s gonna take credit for that?
This is another example of failed leadership.
Period. Case closed.
Earlier, US media reports suggested the suspicious package had been identified in London, but this proved to be incorrect.
Do I understand this clearly? Not only did the WH take credit for Londons efforts, but the credit they tried to take didn't happen.
I'm not at all convinced that der Fuhrer Hussein 0bama and his regime didn't orchestrate all of this with his muzzie bros, but even if they didn't it is abundantly evident that they are not going to let this "crisis" go to waste.
That scenario is truly plausible. IT or something very much like it would NOT surprise me.
