Referring to the failed Christmas airplane bombing, White House aide John Brennan said, “There is no smoking gun.”  This is the top CIA guy in the White House.  He is all about counter intelligence.

Now, I’m NOT a CIA guy and I’ll bet you aren’t either, but let’s take a peek at some clues and see if we can come up with a suggested plan of action for the inept White House.

OK, a guy named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from Nigeria want to get on a plane bound for the United States.

Umar does not have a passport.

Umar bought a one-way ticket, with cash.

Umar has no luggage.

A couple weeks earlier Umar’s father told US intelligence that he was concerned about Umar’s increasing radical views.

As it turns out, it was Umar’s underpants that ended up smoking.  Now, maybe I wouldn’t have guessed that Umar was going to try to blow up the plane; genitals first, but I know that I would have at least pulled this whack job to the side for some additional screening.

What the hell is wrong with the White House?
