Obama Resorts To The Last Refuge Of Scoundrels

Faced with his administration’s failure to head off the Christmas Day and Times Square bombers, or to stop the Fort Hood shooter before his murderous rampage, Pres. Obama sent his chief counter-terrorism adviser out this morning with apparent instructions to resort to that last refuge of scoundrels: patriotism.

When on today’s Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace confronted John Brennan, PBO’s top terrorism advisor, with this record of failure, Brennan sought to twist the question into an attack on our nation’s troops, invoking their patriotism.

Wow, if the Obama regime is trying to hide behind patriotism he must really be desperate. It would be like a demon trying to hide in heaven...they stand out as someone who doesn't belong there.

But then what can one expect form total Loosers like OBOZO who has erased his entire past and this retarded Nitwit OBOZO has labeled an Anti-Terror Czar!

The World’s Leaders and Dictators are seeing a Juvenile, Lazy, Unethical Coward when they encounter the FRAUD of the Oval Office! They see OBOZO as a Buffoon who can be easily Blackmailed and has absolutely No Diplomatic or Leadership Skills! Outside of course, reading from a Teleprompter what he is instructed to say!

Referring to the military personnel engaged in this fight: “That’s not luck. That’s patriotism. That’s dedication. That’s capability and talent.”

I would agree with that; they ARE dedicated, capable and talented. They are patriotic. Unfortunately, we have policy being set for these brave men and women by people who are clueless in the requirements of warfare; people who have nothing in their backgrounds to recommend them for the roles in which they are engaged.

The sad reality is that we have built the greatest military in the history of the world, and it is currently being directed by the most inept policy group in the history of the nation.

Pray for our brave men and women. Pray for the future of the nation.

Thank for putting this up, and you beat me to it. I just watched this interview and I was screaming at the TV again!

This entire Administration simply does not get anything about terrorism, and John Brennan proves it. I cannot believe that he is still claiming that alert citizens are responsible for heading of an attack.

Earth to John Brennan: That alert citizen heard that car bomb’s detonator going off, saw the smoke as well and alerted the police who evacuated the area. That was no attempt, that was a successful attack.

It occurs to me that what we have before us is an outright act of real Sedition by the Times Square bomber. He was in fact a naturalized US Citizen that committed an outright act of War against the US, and anyone who plotted it with him or supported it in any way is in fact guilty of real “Seditious Conspiracy” as well as “Conspiracy to Commit Sedition” and “Accessory to the Commission of an Act of Sedition”.

In an ideal world, the Times Square bomber would be stripped of his US Citizenship, sent to Guantanamo for a trial by a Military Commission, and serve out whatever he is sentenced to right there.

But instead of going after a real seditious threat, we have the ongoing fiasco with the Hutaree Militia who are going to be tried for “Seditious Conspiracy” at least in part because some of it’s members were recorded saying they wanted to “Take their Country back”.

Homeland Scrutiny is more interested in pursuing Christian Tea Party attendees, and anyone who has too much access to proper weapons than they are to paying attention to the real threat among us, starting with new “citizens” who are literally commuting back and forth to Pakistan.

This case proves that Militias are taking an enormous risk by maintaining websites and being a little too eager to allow anyone to join. The Hutaree might be stupid and loudmouthed, but that sure wasn’t a crime when Cindy Sheehan occupied Crawford Texas a few years ago...

* Major Nidal Hassan and the Fort Hood massacre

* The “Fruit of Kaboom” Christmas Eve bomber (successful, bomb burned instead of detonating).

* Times Square bomber (successful attack, bomb partially detonated due to the incompetence of the bomber)

* The continuing efforts to try KSM in New York City despite all of the above.

John Brennan took credit this morning for the track record of the fight against terrorism since 9/11, and in fact this Country went without a successful attack until after Premier Hussein was Emaculated, and look at what we have in just the last year and a half, despite all of the money and attention that was supposed to be paid to this all along.

Brennan is not just incompetent, he is dangerously incompetent based on his unbelievable take on terrorism today with Chris Wallace. Keep working on those emergency supply and personal security packages out there Boys and Girls; the time is coming when we are going to be on our own after another massive terrorist attack, if not outright pursued by our own Government for raising hell that they have done nothing to protect us or the Homeland.

I completely agree with you, and posted something similar on another thread a couple of days ago.

It is about time we had some swift trials for sedition and treason here is the USA, and stopped these weasels from destructing our judicial system.

Last I looked, it wouldn’t be the military that would have removed Shahzad from the Terrorist Watch List. These people are just shameless. Absolutely shameless.
