Obama: Anti-Terrorist Security System Failed

[Eye0fTheStorm]

The sheer stupidity of Americans literally boggles the mind. They can't take 10 minutes to ask tough questions of the media

Iraq/Afghanistan war have created THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS more terrorists than their were before. You will never ever stop terrorism with "security measures"

You stop terrorism by treating people fairly so they don't hate you

Stop assasinating popular leaders, organizing coups, installing and supporting dictators etc

[Mikevdog]

So, if we are just "nice" the Islamists will love us? That's it? They are only bad because we made them do it?

[LeopardFrogPilboxhat]

bush failed to protect us against the shoe bomber

[TheDemonPazuzu]

I loathe and despise corrupt politicians like Obama.

[irocku2day]

What a weak lame ass president. Can't even put on a tie and "try" to look presidential....reading from index cards. Wow. He'll scare terrorists for sure...oops that's right - he calls them "misguided individuals" who should have all rights conferred upon them, sent to Manhattan, etc.

[mmcintee]

Yes, I remember how President Bush always wore a tie when holding news conferences at his Texas ranch.NOT! He's supposed to be on vacation. And if you were paying attention he said he would "dismantle" them. Doesn't sound like a terrorist friendly guy to me.

[Mikevdog]

misguided individuals carrying out man-caused disasters. we will defeat them with temporarily enhanced screening procedures!

[chewbaca1989]

Big Government = Failure in defending from attack.

He admits as much, "we have to be more vigilant".

Airlines should be accountable, one snafu and it goes out of business.

The Government fails to protect and we get a 9-11.

more creation ,for more solution ,

lol ,should we live in a cell 10 by 10 so no danger can arrise ,no injury ,no fatalities,

cause the more and more we secure the less and less we get liberties.

why dont everyone take the plane naked so no problem could arrise .

how the guy could baord the plane with outbeing tchek.

because again its inside job.

[Hillary2016vote]

This was a minor incident. People just need to be vigilant.

Obama gives himself a B+.

In 2012, vote Obama.  Vote Hope and Change in 2012.

Yes we can, Yes we can. We got a B+

[poop121]

are you a bot?

[fourmanfilms]

Yet another catastopic failure in intelligence. Just like when no jets were scrambled until an hour after the first plane hit the buildings in 9/11.

There is an upside this Christmas Day attempted attack has laid waste to all those embarrasing questions like WTF is america involved in bombing a small village in YEMEN? Has the War on Terror expanded its fronts yet again? Or is this WW3? Can we call it that yet? OUr agression to Arab Countries is what is making us less safe each and every day.

[mrpatience2007]

Actually ya can blame him. He ordered an airstrike on yemen a week prior to this airplane incident which killed 120 civilians.  This kid that attemped the airplane bombing was from africa and is a wealthy bankers son however he was staying in yemen.

[poop121]

this is very true. you can blame him for it. and i will!

[bigc028282]

Can't blame Obama for this one. Now the FBI has had to admit that there was a second person involved. The person is being held on "immigration law". Three unconnected people, who were there, have stated that the "terrorist" was escorted, by a man in a suit.

When you consider that every time something like this happens, we are expected to give up more freedoms for freedom, you have to wonder.

I live in a state w/ miles, and miles, of unprotected borders. How safe are we really?

[crashman6]

@bigc028282

The truth is Americans are thousands upon thousands of times more likely to die by suicide than a terrorist act. However the common citizen is fed fear propaganda every day by the media. Yet we don't talk about the thousands of people that die every day on the highway, which is ten thousand more times likely to kill you than a terrorist. I am with you, it is all bullshit propaganda.

[Mikevdog]

We should just give up and let the terrorists carry on. We can spare a few people. I mean, after all, they aren't as bad as cars.
