Obama's Poor Handling of Our Intelligence Community

Once again we hear promises of congressional investigations, but will Obama once again request that these investigations be stalled so as not to interfere with the federal investigations?

Senator Joe Lieberman is promising to have hearings on why the State Department took no action after Abdulmutallab's father reported his concerns about his son to the American embassy in Nigeria.

Will Obama do the right thing and simply fire those responsible for this horrible blunder in American security?  What is a "Watch List" for?

Once again, Secretary Napolitano's explanations and defense speak poorly of Obama's Administration to address real security issues.  After this latest attempt (number 28), Napolitano says 'the system worked as it should have'.  The Obama administration may have a hard time dealing with that ridiculous statement down.  Yet, her defense shows the non-chalant attitude this administration has adopted when it comes to terrorists.

Obama is learning, but this lesson almost came at the expense of 300 lives.

Obama: Not So Cool in Dealing with Terrorism

Jihad is alive and well in the United States. Having an instance of terrorists being apprehended just this morning while planting bombs at Jewish Synagogues makes one wonder if Obama's administration is so cool when dealing with "terrorism". 

Obama seems more concerned in handling the political blow-back from his own hasty and rash decision to close Guantanamo. Obama has only himself to blame for the rebuke his party gave him yesterday as he asked Congress for the money to close Guantanamo Bay; for after-all,these same democrats will soon face their own voters at home.

Today,Obama kept on track with blaming the Bush administration for rash decision-making in fighting terror. Yet, you can't blame the Bush Administration for the terrorist attacks that happened in the 90's through the deadliest of all in 2001.

Americans could care less if Obama has European and the Middle-Eastern popularity if it endangers their own security. No doubt Obama looks forward to a great speech this summer in Egypt, the  heart of Jihadist birth.  In fact, Obama says in the new book by Richard Wolffe how he looks forward to a "Muslim Summit".

If I had a Muslim summit, I think that I can speak credibly to them about the fact that I respect their culture," Obama said, "that I understand their religion, that I have lived in a Muslim country, and as a consequence I know it is possible to reconcile Islam with modernity and respect for human rights and a rejection of violence. And I think I can speak with added credibility...Barack Obama

Nico Hines at the Times London reported on Obama's Guantanamo Bay issue: Under the separation of powers outlined in the US Constitution, Congress has control over almost all government spending. Thus, it can stop virtually any program by refusing to provide money to carry it out. Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said the President would outline “a hefty part” of his plans for Guantánamo detainees tomorrow. A key segment of the Justice Department’s plan has been to send many detainees abroad, but if Congress were to bar detainees from being transported to the United States, even for trial, it would become much more difficult to persuade other countries to accept them.

By speaking at the National Archives today, Obama was attempting to instigate anger among his own supporters as the Republican forces question the soundness of Obama's security vision which endangers the safety of every American citizen.

Bio Nuke Terrorist Attack Likely by 2012

AP-The US can expect a terrorist attack using nuclear or more likely biological weapons before 2013, reports a bipartisan commission in a study being briefed tomorrow to Vice President-elect Joe Biden. It suggests the Obama administration bolster efforts to counter and prepare for germ warfare by terrorists. "Our margin of safety is shrinking, not growing," states the report, obtained by the AP.

It is scheduled to be publicly released Wednesday. The commission is also encouraging the new White House to appoint one official to coordinate US intelligence and foreign policy on combating the spread of nuclear and biological weapons. "The United States should be less concerned that terrorists will become biologists and far more concerned that biologists will become terrorists," the report states.
