While we're at it, this is revelatory, as well.
So is this.

Bush & Obama seem to be fairly similiar (their actions, not words)regarding national security to me. Based on what you hear from both sides of the media, they are polar opposites.
ReplyDeleteThe real issue is not to blame someone here, but to correct the problem without unecessarily taking liberties from law abiding citizens. Both sides of the political spectrum are doing the citizens a disservice by using events like this to score political points.
Our intelligence agencies did a good job of compiling intelligence because the Nigerian was on a list...some list...somewhere. The breakdown was UTILIZATION of that intelligence.
Both close calls (miracles, really) were on international flights into the US (The shoe bomber and the Nigerian). Bush dropped the ball by not addressing this issue, but Obama is just as guilty for not addressing security on international flights into the US. If you're a "glass half-full" type, then one could say Bush did a good job setting up intelligence gathering capabilities, and now Obama must make sure that that info gets to the proper people.
Unless a politician or media member is talking about how to disseminate intelligence immediately to those who need it, all I hear is white noise.
