So I keep thinking..is it really true that DHS completely ignored several countries warning us about Dead Bomber or did the US know and follow him...recruit him...or what

Obama, Holder and DHS clearly ignored REPEAT palpable
warnings because they were too busy helping every
incoming, or captured, terrorist they could.

They and the boot-licking PR-MSM are responsible ...
even as they blame the victims, and purport there
must be some guilty-video, somewhere, responsible.

The MOST transparent administration in all history tells us that all this is folly - untrue, and “we are looking into it.”

What else more could one want?

How clueless does this Administration think we are?!

They are still sticking with the "two brothers acted alone" scenario.

Ask yourself, if you and your brother were working alone to build a bomb in the United States out of common household items, do you think both Russian and Saudi Arabian intelligence agencies would somehow get wind of the plot?

The plot was exposed because of the better-known players who helped in the planning of the attack (not the funding, we picked up that tab).

So sad - the media used to ask questions like this.

“but ultimately all Obama offered were words.”

He as offered more empty words than any leader in human history.

I wasn’t aware that the Russians or Saudis were aware of a plot. I thought they were aware of potential problems from this family.

That’s two presidents in a row whose underlings seem to have failed at this stuff, though. Doesn’t bode well for the future.

The Saudis' warning to the U.S. government was also shared with the British government. 'It was very specific’ and warned that 'something was going to happen in a major U.S. city,' the Saudi official said during an extensive interview.

If true, the account will produce added pressure on the Homeland Security department and the White House to explain their collective inaction after similar warnings were offered about Tsarnaev by the Russian government.

I'm not aware of any sort of specific information about named individuals being provided to the Bush Administration from foreign intelligence services (or anybody else) prior to a successful attack, just sort of "some jihadis might be planning something" tips.

Isn’t it “Whom we must blame” not “Who” ? We must blame whom - objective. Or maybe it should be “Upon whom must we place the blame”.

Unfortunately this didn’t start with Obama. Bush I was a moron for defending Saudi Arabia from Saddam. Let them all kill each other, and we’ll buy oil from whichever tyrant is left standing. Oh, and keep Muslims out of the US. Clinton and Bush II opened the gates to 3rd world immigrants and Middle East “refugees”. All our politicians are to blame for this mess.

“Whom” contains the implied preposition “to” — as in “To [blank] must we blame”, which is obviously incorrect. “Who we must blame” is a reordering of “Who must we blame?” to indicate that the author claims to know who.

“Who we must blame”

Sorry, but to rephrase the sentence, you definitely wouldn't say "We must blame he" . . . you would say "We must blame him"

I stand by my criticism. You don't even need the "to" to rephrase the sentence.

But I do except your apology.
