Perhaps in 6 months he'll issue his 'considered response.' What a joker...

HONOLULU (AP) - President Barack Obama was briefed Thursday on how a 23-year-old Nigerian with suspected terrorist ties almost succeeded in a Christmas Day airline bombing and how to prevent it from happening again.
Obama received the preliminary assessment ahead of meetings in Washington next week on fixing the shortcomings and failures of the nation's anti-terrorism policy. Administration officials said the system to protect the nation's skies from terrorists was deeply flawed and, even then, the government failed to follow its own directives.
Vacationing in Hawaii, Obama talked with the his national security team about progress they were making on a pair of Obama-ordered reviews.

Obama has demanded answers on why the U.S. intelligence community never pieced together information that could have prevented Abdulmutallab, charged with trying to destroy a Detroit-bound airliner, from ever getting on the plane. Obama called the situation "totally unacceptable" when he met with reporters Tuesday and put his top intelligence officials on notice that he wanted changes.
Administration officials have spent the last week poring over reams of data, looking for failings that allowed Abdulmutallab to board the Northwest Airlines flight from Nigeria by way of Amsterdam. Officials have been sending details to Brennan, who has emerged at the center of the review.
Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula, an offshoot of Osama bin Laden's group, claimed it was behind the attempt to bomb the Northwest airliner.

Uh, Mr. President, er uh, Mr. Hawai'i - are we at WAR sir, or do you still consider these police actions/failures against manmade disasters? Your admin has made the shift in this direction. ENOUGH WITH THE SMALL TALK. You have failed us bammy, and it has NOTHING to do with Bush.
Fore !
“President Barack Obama was briefed Thursday”
Wow! I’m impressed. Such leadership. Maybe we will get a response after his golf game or his basketball game.
but i don't think that we can count on that forever.
In other words....it wasn’t Obama’s fault and he is NOW being briefed on the terror threat. What was it that Cheney said? Obama is PRETENDING their is no war on terror...FIRE JANET!!!!
Translation: Blame the Bush Administration.
at least now I understand why she was picked for a high office.
I'll check into it in a couple of weeks.
Obama’s self respect and self esteem program for Muslim terrorists is working properly. Maybe that’s what Jannie meant.
Did he rebuild the wall as well.
after 9/11, the second string has repeatedly SUCKED. this kid, richard reid, & etc.
but i don’t think that we can count on that forever.

Thanks God. And you’re right...we’d better get our act together...that would include ousting bammy’s clown posse.
Answers must be demanded before a terrorist event, not after.
Reminds me of Carrol O'Conner and the Duke in "In Harm's Way" when reminded he would have to break radio silence to report they had been hit by a Japanese Torpedo and the Duke responded, "Well, I think they already know we're here, don't you???"
How about a pair of BALLS, Obama?
A little blurry. Is that a single finger salute?
Everybody here could give the answer:
1. Failure to profile muslims and deport them or lock them up
2. Treating warfare as a criminal act and letting the “alleged” perps lawyer up
This treasonous malfeasance is going to get a lot of killed in this long war.

The Duke was awesome, wasn’t he?
I don’t think we can stop EVERY ONE of them, but it would help if our sec’y of homeland security could actually say, “terrorist”.

Upend this country in 2010! The election is only 10 short months away...let’s roll..
It will be seen as American weakness to not retaliate.
The F’in press is totally covering for him. What about “isolated extremist”? how could he be dumb enough to have said that?
