Our Security Knew About The Underwear Bomber



Obama said in his speech that the system isn’t broken; they just failed to connect the dots.

By de Andréa

One cannot rehabilitate a ticking time bomb one needs to disarm and destroy it.
Our Government is in denial even of who this enemy is, much less of what or where the dots are. One cannot connect dots that one is in denial of.

The Northwest Airlines bomb attempt was led by al-Qaeda members that were RELEASED from GITMO! Two of the four Co-Conspirators were detained in GITMO but released to a Saudi “Rehab” program. So how is that working out for you Obammah?

This nation’s security strategy is reactionary rather than proactive. We make the same mistake in crime fighting; we react to vicious crime by attacking guns and innocent gun owners instead of attacking the criminals. In this case, just as the shoe bomber, we attacked shoes, innocent people’s shoes. So now we will attack innocent underwear and feel innocent people’s crouches. Do you feel safer, or controlled and abused?

Say, I have a novel and profound Idea. Why don’t we just identify the enemy and attack him? No --- that’s too simple…

Cover up
The Obama administrations John Brennan, assistant to the president for homeland security, declared there was "no smoking gun" that could have alerted authorities about an al-Qaida plot to bring down a U.S. airliner over Detroit. The truth is, had received a personal, high-level briefing in October warning of a new al-Qaida tactic of hiding a bomb in an attacker's underwear.

On Fox News Sunday, John Brennan, told host Chris Wallace, "There was no smoking gun. There was no piece of intelligence that said, 'This guy's a terrorist. He's going to get on a plane.' No, none whatsoever."

Brennan's comment evoked derision from international expert Arnaud de Borchgrave Monday during an exclusive interview with Newsmax.TV's Kathleen Walter. "I would call that twaddle in all its unrational splendor," said de Borchgrave, author, syndicated columnist, and director of the Center for Strategic and International Studies. "It's ridiculous to maintain such a thing.”

Brennan is trying to cover-up a very difficult situation.
Despite Brennan's contention that no smoking gun preceded the attack, Brennan had received a personal briefing in October from Muhammad bin Nayef, the Saudi Prince who narrowly survived an al-Qaida assassination attempt in August. Nayef was wounded in the explosion, which used the same technique, and the same PETN explosive material, that authorities say Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab employed to try to bring down a Northwest airliner on Christmas Day.

Al-Qaida in the Arabian Peninsula claimed responsibility for both attacks.An intelligence source said bin Nayef personally briefed Brennan because "he didn't think [U.S. officials] were paying enough attention" to the growing al-Qaida threat in Yemen.U.S. intelligence sources say they believe the same bomb maker built both devices.

Again, too much emphasis on the weapon, and not enough on the perpetrators Brennan told CNN that, although he personally toured the site of the bombing in Saudi Arabia and met with bin Nayef, "There was no indication, though, that al-Qaida was trying to use that type of attack and that modus operandi against aircraft."In December 2002, however, convicted terrorist Richard Reid tried to ignite PETN hidden in his shoe, in an attempt to destroy American Airlines Flight 63. Authorities who analyzed the attack later concluded that, if successful, the explosion could have destroyed the aircraft.

Underwear or shoes are not the enemy
Brennan's comment marked the second time a high-level Obama administration official appeared to downplay the extent of the lapse.

Immediately after the attempted Detroit bombing, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano stated that the “system worked really smoothly.” This; despite the fact that a suspect known to be a terrorist, boarded a U.S.-bound flight without being searched. She later said her remarks were taken out of context. I think Janet is the one who is smooth.

We are at war!
Brennan, who has served in both Republican and Democratic administrations, also directed strident criticism at former Vice President Dick Cheney, who recently stated "But we are at war, and when President Obama pretends we aren't, it makes us less safe."
He was on the terrorists watch list but not the no-fly list, the trouble is we just have too many lists and no direction.
President Obama has stated the intelligence lapse that allowed Abdulmutallab to board the flight without a thorough search reflected a "systemic failure." But don’t forget, the systematic failure worked smoothly. The State Department Monday released further evidence to that support that view. It said to the Associated Press that counterterrorism agencies were alerted on Nov. 20, that Abdulmutallab had fallen under the influence of Jihadists.

THE BOTTOM LINE: The solution to winning a war is first to identify the enemy. The state department, the administration, the department of defense, the congress… well the whole darn government has tap-danced around this first step to winning a war. Moreover, as long as we continue to allow this constitutionally bound Federal Government to wallow in denial and practice the religion of ‘Multiculturalism’ and ‘Political Correctness’ we will not win this war.

We first identified this enemy as ’Terrorism’. Terrorism is not a country; terrorism is not even a people. Terrorism is a weapon. A weapon used by a nation and a people. Instead of recognizing this mistake we made yet another misguided mistake and reduced the weapon of terrorism to “MAN MADE DISASTERS”, further disconnecting ourselves from the truth and the enemy. And to add insult to injury the Department of Homeland Security identified the “Man” in “man made disasters” as Christian Conservatives, American military veterans, American Constitutionalists, and any other American patriot.

I have news for the American Government and the American people… The identity of our enemy, (step one in winning a war) is the Nation and people of Islam. How profound is that? No more profound than in 1941 identifying that we were at war with the nation of Germany and the people of Nazism.

If we continue in this deception and deny who we are at war with, we will soon become part of our enemy’s nation. The nation of Islam, (the fastest growing Nation on earth) now close to 2 Billon is a third of the world’s population. It is already the worlds largest Nation.

The question is --- do you want to continue to be deceived and become a part of it…
