Obama's Dynamic National Security Duo: Shocked About Al Qaeda

When asked what was most shocking about the national security review of the Christmas Day attack, Deputy National Security Adviser John Brennan said he was shocked to find that Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) was connected to "Al Qaeda core". Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said she was most shocked that AQAP uses individual suicide bombers.

TRANSCRIPT:

Q What was the most shocking, stunning thing that you found out of the review? And, Secretary, to you, as well. MR. BRENNAN: Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is an extension of al Qaeda core coming out of Pakistan. And, in my view, it is one of the most lethal and one of the most concerning of it. The fact that they had moved forward to try to execute this attack against the homeland I think demonstrated to us -- and this is what the review sort of uncovered -- that we had a strategic sense of sort of where they were going, but we didn't know they had progressed to the point of actually launching individuals here. And we have taken that lesson, and so now we're full on top of it. SECRETARY NAPOLITANO: I think, following up on that, not just the determination of al Qaeda and al Qaeda Arabian Peninsula, but the tactic of using an individual to foment an attack, as opposed to a large conspiracy or a multi-person conspiracy such as we saw in 9/11, that is something that affects intelligence. It really emphasizes now the renewed importance on how different intelligence is integrated and analyzed, and threat streams are followed through. And, again, it will impact how we continue to review the need to improve airport security around the world.

Do you Libs really feel safe with this woman in charge of your security? She is an idiot and completely incompetent.

NCMan28025 You are trying to talk facts to a liberal. They don't listen. They blame America for everything. The radicals & insurgents are not only trying to kill Americans, they are killing anybody who wants Democracy. It's the radicals who are blowing up mosques, setting off bombs in public places, blowing up police stations & military bases. The radicals are killing people all over the world, but the anti-war, liberal loons are too ignorant to see the facts.

Bush and his Democratic Congress helping to put us into horrific debt, AND YOUR MAN WANT TO DOUBLE, EVEN TRIPLE THAT ! ! ! You're guy is steering this country into NATIONAL FORCLOSURE AND IT AIN'T FUNNY, dear Moonbeam ! ! !

Hey Atlas!

Hello! Now wake up and smell the coffee, sleepyhead ! Now again, see if you can answer this SPECIFICALLY:

How will Obama pay down the national debt without doing either:

A. Raising taxes to pay for it. OR

B. Printing money to pay for it.

....and (just between us) you really DO know your red herrings, doncha?

... just like any good progressive community organizer--shout 'em down or

change the subject !

[ThatMiserableCat]

And just because you don't think there's anything wrong when YOU stiff YOUR creditors, and you declare bankruptcy and get to keep all the material wealth that you won't pay for, means it's gonna work out that way for the USA.

Pathetic, silly, goofy, wacky, daffy, birdbrained, dishonest progressives!

loser

[AtlasShruggery]

Copy Bush? Nah. So far we haven't invaded any other countries based on lies about "nukular" weapons and nonexistent Al Qaida connections.

Again, I ask you, what taxes has the Obama administration raised? Please be specific.

[ThatMiserableCat]

Atlas-

So, it's O.K. with you that Obama can and is increasing the national debt? Just because he wants to copy Bush, doesn't mean he has to.

Oh, by the way--if he doesn't plan on paying China and the rest of our creditors back, he won't have to raise taxes then, will he?

Trillions for Healthcare, Wall Street Bailouts, a first Stimulus and the Next Stimulus and Trillions and Trillions...

---until BANKRUPT !

As usual,you progressives will blame Beck, Bush,racists, teapots, bla bla bla

[AtlasShruggery]

Just for the record, eighty percent of our national debt was run up under just three presidents: Reagan, Bush and Junior Bush. All conservatives. All Republicans.

Exactly what taxes has the Obama administration raised? Please be specific.
