Newsweek actually steps up to bat and tries to play the journalism game.
President Barack Obama received a high-level briefing only three days before Christmas about possible holiday-period terrorist threats against the US, Newsweek has learned. The briefing was centered on a written report, produced by US intelligence agencies, entitled “Key Homeland Threats”, a senior US official said.
…Obama’s public and private actions in expanding counter-terrorism operations in Yemen may not help him avoid answering further questions about what intelligence agencies told him — and didn’t tell him — about possible threats to the US homeland in the days and weeks before the alleged underpants bomber boarded his Christmas Day flight from Amsterdam to Detroit.

(QUESTION: anyone remember all the grief the leftwingers gave Bush about the August PDB that included a background section titled “Bin Laden Intent On Attacking U.S.”? They claimed Bush ignored the warnings, but in reality he was told there were 70+ FBI investigations going on, the CIA was in full alert mode and freaking out at the threat intel, and over a dozen precautions were taken after that PDB. That was just a background info section, and this was actionable intelligence, but nothing was done by Obama, and American security was left to the passengers.)
Pretty sure we’re not gonna see the same kinda “Obama ignored warnings” rhetoric on Daily KOS and Huffington Post

Yes, we should remember how important leisure time and party time is to this president and his highly qualified appointees. After all he was playing golf in Hawaii: how many of us can find the time to play golf in Hawaii?
This ‘Citizen of the World’ asks us to remember that these men who are acting alone to carry out ‘Man Caused Disasters’ are also ‘Citizens of the World’ who are highly unhappy with GITMO and are expressing their displeasure with the United States and the previous Administration. Therefore the actions of our intelligence community are probably only intensifying the antagonism these young men have for the United States. By our ‘Citizen of the World’ playing golf and ignoring their attacks, he is actually working to defuse the tensions that were started by President Bush.
Regarding terrorism, in the eyes of the world, President Obama wants to be known as President DooLittle: a president that is more than willing to strangle the US economy while promoting International Marxism, but will draw the line at taking a hard stance against Muslim Terrorism or securing the safety of Americans. President DooLittle’s extensive background in community activism has more than prepared him to bear the standards of the downtrodden of the world: therefore in his twisted reasoning, he is a president for the misguided Muslim Terrorists as well as the American people and is willing to sit down and negotiate and find funding for any misguided Muslim Terrorists contemplating a ‘Man Caused Disaster’ against the US. And any Muslim Terrorists who want to immigrate to the US for the express purpose of being union thugs, Community Organizers, Acorn extortionists, or Democrat fund raisers will find the tracks greased for Obamanation citizenship.

It is clear also that the incompetence and the stubborness of the Obama administration has not only national but international effects regarding the optimism for this new decade.
Hope liberals do remember that to be Politically Correct in electing the First Socialist Black President in the United States comes at a cost.
and where is our watch dog media now? Hey, you missed a spot on the left cheek, lick harder.
I am surprised the CIA and FBI is taking such political beatings by the current Bosses in the White House and Congress. I know this sounds like a very dirty thing of me but J. Edgar Hoover’s hard as nails business practices when dealing with politics is truly needed here and now.
Absolutely. This is the kind of post I’d like to see more of. Calling the liberal bourgie elites out on their own game. You’re absolutely right that this kind of coverage is going to absent in the left-leaning Obama-worshipping blogo/media sphere.
As I recall, you morons blamed Clinton for 9/11.
Sadly Mutaman, the intellegence collected by CIA, FBI and even British M16 details that the plans to attack the World Trade Center started in 1998 which sits within Bill Clinton’s time frame as Commander and Chief.
Yes as you see the time frame was Clinton.1995 OKL BOOMER. The media did not tell of the other terorist who was with Timmithy McV
And when Bush took Office another attack came soon after her took Office. I say the there was something that the left knew.N.Y is full of home grown Terrorist. I say it was done with the upsets of the democrat party, see what we have going on now. Bush after 9/11 made sure that we were safe.I am saying, even thou it was on Bushes watch.Someone let the terrorist through on to the planes. Just like this last attack that Obama is so sweet on as enjoying it looks like to me.
Someone , who LET THEM AGAIN INTO THE PLANES ON 9/11 ? Is it the same people, indiana guy ? I really feel that it had to be inside planet in our airport on 9/11 just as this last threat we had. UMMMMMMMMM, YOU IS IT ???? AND WHAT PERSON(S)
I say, 9/11 was and inside terrorist plot in someone worked and let them go on through ! as it was not Bush ! second guess who ?
those guys come as student in a flight school that was in the paper at the time they take we can give them and they come back to execute their destruction
