White House Says “There Was No Smoking Gun”

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

If it wasn’t so scary, it would be funny.  The Obama administration simply is not capable of taking responsibility for anything. 

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?

President Obama took a break from the golf course to tell us that on Dec 25th (also known as Christmas Day) an alleged suspect allegedly tried to detonate an alleged explosive device on a plane bound for Detroit, MI.  The device failed and the suspect is in custody.

In a related story; Janet Napolitano alleged head of Homeland Security reported the day after the alleged non-incident that “the system worked.”

Well, isn’t that reassuring.  What a bunch of buffoons.

You Might Be A Right Wing Terrorist!

Yup, according to Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security it looks like lot of people are under suspicion.

The Department of Homeland Security issued a report sent to law enforcement across the country.  The report highlights specific groups of people as highrisk threats.  I wish I was joking, but I’m not.  The high risk groups, the ones that Homeland Security sees as a threat to America’s security include;

  • Those that support Pro-Life; the ones that do NOT want to kill babies.
  • Those that support limited government; the ones opposed to spending trillions of dollars without even knowing what we’re spending it on.
  • Those that express concern over the government considering changes to second amendment rights.
  • Those expressing concern over illegal immigration; the report is specific on this.  They don’t say immigration, they say illegal immigration.
  • Those that have served in the United States Military.

I find it rather disturbing that the government is targeting groups of people that represent very positive ideology as potential terrorists.

When challenged about the report, Janet Napolitano said she stood behind it. 

I am beginning to think that the biggest threats to America hold elected office and in Janet Napolitano’s case were appointed by an elected official.

I suppose if I wasn’t on the watch list before, this post ought to do the trick.  I am comforted by the fact that I’ll be on the same list as hundreds of thousands, perhaps millions of other patriotic American citizens.
