The Obama Administration Is Doing A Bang-Up Job With This Terrorist Attack

[Zona]

Once again, thank to Emerites Airline for stopping the plane and calling it in otherwise the guy would be home having a keg with his fellow Jihadists

What the hell are you talking about...you think it was the airline that downed that plane?

Are you dumb or something?

 

[The Rabbi]

Not a mere 52 hours ago this took place, whilst the man was enjoying some fun time and about a few hundred or so of his media associates and the perp is already caught.

Not only is he already caught, but due to the Administration's wise and thoughtful moves they were able to learn about others in Pakistan and also apprehend them as well.

Compare that to Bush's handling of similar situations. He promised to hunt Bin Laden to the ends of the earth, but stopped short of crossing the Pakistani border to get him. He promised from the beginning of this FIRST Administration that he would find and apprehend the man behind the worst Terrorist attack on American soil and he's come up short. Bush put on quite a Kabuki Theatre with the capture, mock trial and hanging of Hussein, but that SHOULD have already been done under Bush 41, so yet another FAIL by the Right.

Other than the communication talking points the Right can claim over some BS about the Left not wanting to call the events "Terrorist Attacks" the results are surely clear...Obama is no joke. And is a man of action.

He did it with the Pirates, he did it with the Underwear Bomber and he's doing it now with the Times Square bomber. So not only will the economy improve under Obama's AdministrationS but he will actually do a LOT in the area of curbing the National AND Global fight against terror.

And ALL the Right has is foolish, nonsensical and childish talking points.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

Bush got Obama beat, he got Osama in only .....what, how many hours! ? Oh wait, nevermind.

How many attempted attacks did we have after 9/11? How many have we had in the last 18 months?

 

[Intense]

So, Mr. Obama, some think, is going to take credit for what others have done through intensive training and hard work, long before this president even came into office? I think NOT.Is Mr. Obama also going to take credit for screwing up and allowing this terrorist ON the plane in the first place and while he was on the No Fly list? That credit also goes to those in the field, good or bad. This administration has it's fill of bumbling buffoons, sorry, that's my take, like it or not.

In my opinion, if it was up to Mr. Obama and his band of appointed, or should say anointed 'helpers', he would first, most likely, BOW to the terrorist, kiss his ass and offer him good old American defense teams paid for by the taxpayers.

The credit goes to a few hundred others long before it ever comes to the white house. Congratulations to all those involved who brought this terrorist down like an episode of 24.

I guaren fuckin tee you, you would be screaming if that bomb had went off. Obama is not keeping us safe! Just like Cheney said when he took office after two days.

******* liars.

Sounds like you are mixing medications again Sally.

Sorry if we rained on Obama's photo op. Really , Really we are.

That's not the point Rabbi. The point is are they comfortable? Is there anything more that we can do to empathize with their plight? The only thing the DNC doesn't get is who we should surrender to. The rest of us are on our own.

How long did it take them to even call it a terrorist attack? Have they even announced Shahzad's religion?

Yes I would be jumping up and down like millions of others. My POINT, let me say it another way, was that, IMHO, OBAMA gets 1% of the credit and the teams of law enforcement get 99% of the credit. I agree Obama is not keeping us safe for many reasons and other threads bear that out, our homeland security people and agencies are, but many are still trying to give Mr. Obama most of the credit, which is BS. Oh, and they all lie, depends at which level of necessity they have the need to.

I'd be fine with Obama taking credit for capturing Shahzad if he actually accepted responsibility for the failures during his Presidency.

Well damn, wish I had thought to include that comment.

 

[saveliberty]

A good Adminstrator shares the successes with his staff and accepts failures as his own when appropriate.

The telling part of this operation was the change in how often airlines must check the no fly list. This guy almost got away and it would have been a federal failure.

U.S. Thwarts 19 Terrorist Attacks Against America Since 9/11 | The Heritage Foundation


So attempted terrorist acts only count against Obama but are considered "successes" for the Bush administration

Want me to start listing the terrorist attacks after 9-11 that were successful?

 

[The Rabbi]

Great post!
How many of them actually had a bomb planted?
Oh, yeah, none. Reid was in London, as I recall. A good ways away from American jurisdiction.
They were all nabbed before they could actually do anything that might, like, hurt people. So all those things are actually evidence that under Bush we were much safer because terrorists were getting caught BEFORE they could actually plant stuff that might hurt people.
Argument fail.

why does someone have to be "our hero"? can't you just say someone did something well?

They will never do that, Jillian. Obama is doing a good job and it makes the right wing nuts so angry!! Their attempts to discredit Obama is what they live for. But it seems that the more they do that, the better he looks and the stupider they look. I think most people have realized what the agenda of the right wing really is.

Indeed. There is a difference between thwarting an attempt and getting lucky due to the incompetence of the terrorist.

The Obama Administration is now in spin mode to try to make it look like they thwarted the attempt.

He started out looking young, energetic and ready to make changes. Now he looks old, tired and unable to govern. Not sure how that translates into better.

Anthrax attacks? FAIL?
Abortion clinic bombings? FAIL?
DC Sniper? FAIL?

All terrorist attacks performed under Bush

But why do we ignore the FOUR terrorist attacks on 9-11? EPIC FAIL

September 13, 2006 David McMenemy of Rochester Hills, Michigan crashed his car into the Edgerton Women's Care Center in Davenport, Iowa. He then doused the lobby in gasoline and then started a fire. McMenemy committed these acts in the belief that the center was performing abortions, however Edgerton is not an abortion clinic

Precisely!!! Obama and his minions didn't thwart SHIT!!!! They got lucky that another dumb ass decided to build a bomb. The only credit for this goes to law enforcement people. No one else.

 

[PatekPhilippe]

The only reason why Obama is now insinuating they thwarted the car bomb attack is to draw people and attention away from his Administration's losing PR battle over his ignoring the oil spill in the Gulf.

All seven justices agreed that Mr. Muhammad's conviction under a previously untested terrorism law was appropriate. The law dispenses with the triggerman requirement in cases where the killing was "pursuant to the direction or order" of someone engaged in an act of terrorism.
