White House: Failed plane attack an attempted act of terrorism(Obama told 3 HOURS AFTER PLANE LANDS)
Washington Post ^ | December 25, 2009 | Scott Butterworth and Spencer S. Hsu

A White House official said the incident was an attempted act of terrorism. The FBI is investigating and President Obama, celebrating Christmas in Hawaii, was told of the incident about three hours after the plane landed, officials said.

Obama has told White House officials that all appropriate measures be taken to increase security for air travel, a spokesman said. Nevertheless, officials said, they are not prepared to raise the terrorism alert level, currently at orange -- or the second-highest of five levels -- for domestic and international air travel.

Somebody would have been fired if Bush wasn’t informed in a timely manner.

I find it interesting that an alleged attempted attack on his plane is considered terrorism, while an Islamofascist attacking and killing several US servicemen at Ft. Hood is not.

What will Obama do? Vacation as usual?

Then return to DC to be concerned?

We’ll have to see if Zero is ‘concerned’ or ‘deeply concerned’. /s

How big of a terrorist act would require that the president be informed immediately instead of 3 hours later? One plane, two planes, three planes, one skyscraper, two skyscrapers?

For those that are lurking around can you tell me this does not infuriate you?

I've been infuriated every day for the past 14 months, but I have taken today off from being infuriated due to the significance of the day. I will resume regularly scheduled emoting tomorrow.

If by "his" you mean Obama, you need to read the article.

You'll notice I didn't suggest that you reread the article.

Seems it was an unsuccessful act of terrorism not just an attempt.
