Fox News: CIA Tracked Plane Bomber Since August
Tuesday, December 29, 2009 | Kristinn

Posted on 12/29/2009 3:51:39 PM PST by kristinn

Chris Wallace (filling in for Bret Baier)just reported that Fox News confirms that the CIA was tracking Northwest Airlines flight 253 bommber Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab since August. He did not say more than that.

No wonder Obama spoke out again today about a systemic failure. He knew tis news was going to come out.

This terrorist getting through our defenses is going to be the responsibility of his administration, not President Bush's.

“Us” ain’t obama’s friend, “us” is obama’s enemy. He does not want to keep us safe.

Since Dear Reader complains all the time about all he has inherited from Bush, I really think it would be wise for President Bush to write him out of his will.

Obama is so ungreatful.

So ? just like the Ft. Hood terrorist, so too, this administration knew about this underwear bomber and did nothing about it...
This is just to convenient for it to be a simple mistake or incompetence, it seems, they are deliberately letting this to happen.

Once again, this is getting way to convenient to write this off as mistakes, or incompetence, more like, deliberate decisions....

It’s so comforting to know this is just an isolated incident.

" And it would be right & proper for the GOP to defend Leon Panetta in this instance. With the "Gorelick Wall" re-established, CIA's hands were effectively tied in what is now a law enforcement matter. "

Then the blame should go directly to the DHS ....

while he’s busy blaming Bush then he might lie to explain why more attacks and more lives have been lost on our soil since he took over than all of the years after 9/11 under Bush

Also he might like to explain why we got future attacks of terrorists through water boarding but now these terrorists get lawyers and we’ll get nothing

Maybe it is Muzzie is as Muzzie does? I contend that 0bama is a Muzzie hiding behind of all people Rev Wright who claims to be..”Christian”..yayoubetcha..
0bama has other intentions of which maybe people in his own administration are ignorant.

Thanks, kristinn... I heard this on tonight's "Special Report" as well.

Bush's Obama's fault.

I think Chris was “hearing” it off his ear piece. Did you notice that gal on the panel roll her eyes? This is amazing stuff, maybe the whole worst part of the story.

Let me guess. Obama’s CIA tracked him, up to their Christmas break?

Yeah, I heard this. Obama doesn’t have Bush’s single minded focus on keeping us safe.

Yeah didn't Obummer brag he was a multi-tasker?

And so in the death by a thousand cuts, the Obama administration sustains another cut, a big one.

Be patient. Americans are not dumb. We got eyeballs and lying ears. We heard that stupid, stupid woman supposed to keep up safe, Janet Napalitano, go on TV Sunday and tell us that the system worked. Heh. Like when the baby crawls out the balcony and falls nine stories to land on an awning and survives...husband tells wife...”See honey, OUR SYSTEM WORKED! The baby is safe!”

The next day this dim bulb, who seriously needs to be fired cause remember last year when she came out and said that golly gee the tea party attendees are all McVeigh wannabes all ready to join disenchanted militias to destroy our country yet she and her charges call this guy almost blowing up an airplane with liquids in his underwear a system that WORKS...tells us the system did not work.

But hey, I am quite sure OBamer told her and Family Guy Gibbs to go on TV and act all stupid and tell the very dumb American people who were all born at night, LAST NIGHT, as Obama sees it, that the system worked. I’d have to hold a gun to my head and shoot if I was asked to do such stupid stuff.

The poor fellow sure didn’t want to recognize such a thing as terrorism exists cause this messes up his plan to free up this Khalid guy for lots of money for ole Eric Holder, famed for his pardons, and Obamer’s got that SOTU speech coming up and sheesh the congress might not focus on health care, cap and crap and other stuff HE thinks is important.

Be patient, again. The American people, God love ‘em, have short attention spans, but not THAT short. We full well know about these nutty Muslims. We were busy carrying this country on our backs over the Christmas holiday but we heard the story, we paid attention.

We heard that nonsense about the system working and now Obamer’s out there all worried but again, many of us were born at night, but not LAST NIGHT.

One year...in one year Obamer and his gang that can’t shoot straight have showed their stripes. Another cut and more cuts and we are patient in America, fair to a fault. But we know stupidity when we see it. Obamer had his chance but we must smirk and go on.

Bombs in the underwear. Heh.

And I don’t think we’re going to take kindly to having our underwear checked. I think Americans are going to demand that all passengers named Mohammed get a good look over.

Just a hunch.

Let these holidays be over; let that awful congress come back. Things are going to change.

It’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
