Hang on... A presidential administration actually *thwarted* a terror attack??1!1!!?!

[WilliamPitt]

Last I heard, that wasn't possible.

Nobody could have imagined that right-wing Taliban douchebags would Fed-Ex death to America.

...or did they... (imagine it, I mean)

I'm not sure what to make of all this.

But WAY TO GO everyone involved.

When Republicans run the show, shit blows up and everyone hears about it. When Democrats run the show, shit doesn't blow up and Democrats are called "weak on defense."

Hm.

[applegrove]

1. Yes it is a good day for the President. Nobody got hurt. And that is what matters.

[tblue37]

24. Nobody got hurt. Hardly anyone will get to hear about it,.

because the MSM is owned by those who hate Obama and the Democrats.

[hedgehog]

2. No one was hurt, so this story will probably be forgotten by tomorrow AM.

[JoePhilly]

19. Last night Tweety forgot about it in less then one segment.

After some quick coverage of how "minor" the attack was ... he said something like, "I want to get back to what's important, the enthusiasm gap", or some such non-sense.

The last think he wanted to do was say "the Democrats have kept us safe". It was unreal.

[madmax]

3. Lies

More bullshit like the Times Square Bomber thing. You know Obama can't keep us safe. The Muslin, commie, death panel supporter. :sarcasm:

[dflprincess]

4. Certainly convenient timing

right before the election and all.

[tomp]

20. agreed. nt

[MadMaddie]

26. So you would prefer an attack to come to fruition and then

claim that he should have prevented it.

I personally don't want to see innocent people killed because someone was worried about what a situation might look like.

Okay....

[dflprincess]

28. If this had happened when Bush was president

this board would have been full of threads about him pulling out the "terra" card and questioning the truth of what we're being told.

And this time it didn't happen just before the election but also right before the new scanners and rules about pat downs go into effect at airports rules that a lot of Americans were finally daring to question.

I don't trust any politician not to use fear if they think it's expedient to do so.

[MadMaddie]

31. I will agree that during Juniors reign this was true

However; there is stark difference and we all have to acknowledge it.

1. Terror Level Panic

a. Since President Obama has been in office how many times have we had a national panic about the terror level color being raised? 0

b. During Juniors Reign everytime without fail when the Repugs were in trouble there was a Terror Level alarm. There is a document that does calculate the correlation between Repug downturn and the alerts.

2. Alerts aside, for the last two years how many times has President Obama overreacted to situations? 1 - The firing of the woman who supposedly made racist comments, story pushed by Breitbart.

3. The news is reporting now that the amount of explosives discovered would have killed many Americans. Coincidence or not with the upcoming election the potential catastrophe was stopped.

[MiniMe]

5. The big bangs create fear, why would they want to diminish the fear

by thwarting an attack?

[Hekate]

13. Which "they" do you refer to?

[gateley]

6. Our Sec of Defense decided not to ignore the intel, therein lies the difference. nt

[Rosa Luxemburg]

7. Our president is strong!!!!

[lonestarnot]

8. Saudi's a. gain. We all know who's their daddy.

[WinkyDink]

16. I think you have it in reverse.

[lonestarnot]

23. I think you just don't know.

[The_Casual_Observer]

9. If shit bag hadn't been so stupid, 9/11 would have just been another nice day in NY.

It's the truth.

[Imagevision]

10. shit bag wasn't so stupid on 9/11, he merely was doing what he was instructed to do...

why do you thgink Cheney had to hold his hand when W was asked the questions for the 911 commission investigation.

[WinkyDink]

17. And so sit he sat.

[The_Casual_Observer]

27. You give shit bag too much credit. No conspiracy, just stupidity.

[malaise]

11. GObama

:applause:

[kentuck]

12. Could this be the "October Surprise" ??

For those Congressmen that might survive vicariously thru a strong Commander in Chief?

[Ineeda]

14. where's the media, congratulating the President for 'keeping us safe' ???

or even the DU kicks?

[Cosmocat]

18. This is the most organized and REAL threat since 9-11 ...

to this country ...

It does not appear to be on the scale of 9-11 obviously, but it is certainly the most credible, REAL, and organized attack since 9-11 ...

This is a Joe Biden BFD ...

But, it is too much to ask for the dems to rally around it, sadly, much less the "liberal" media ...

[tomp]

21. until they answer the hundreds of significant unanswered questions....

.....about 9/11 i don't believe a word of what the govt says about "terrorism". not one word, not from democrats or republicans.

[WinkyDink]

15. No, no! You see, Obama still lets DANGER EXIST! He's not keeping us SAFE ENOUGH!

[Kablooie]

22. He allowed bomb material to enter America. Totally incompetent. We need GWB to protect us!

:sarcasm:

[Freetradesucks]

25. It was clearly a ploy to make people think that

Obams is "on the job" protecting Amurika.

[GSLevel9]

29. this was a pretty puny threat... nt

[WilliamPitt]

30. I take it you don't fly much.
