UPDATE But wait, BREAKING NEWS…U.S. to Suspend Gitmo Detainee Transfers to Yemen. OMG, who would have thunk this one out?
Remember that little man Rev. Wright and his vicious sermons? Guess where the chickens have landed, in his own backyard in FLOTUS’s garden. Team Zero was warned 1 year prior to Capt Underpants bomb attempt on NWA. Team Zero should work on its priorities, (we aren’t talking Desiree and parties either).
It does Team Zero no good to ruin what few friends it has left. Anyone wonder why other countries are NOT taking POTUS seriously? Heck of a job Barry!
The Telegraph reports:
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was named in a file of people based in Britain who had made contact with radical Muslim preachers. The file was sent to the US authorities in 2008.
The disclosure will embarrass President Barack Obama, who is already under pressure after failures by US intelligence to identify the bomber. …
It is extremely unusual for the Prime Minister’s office to comment on intelligence matters. The move could be seen as an attempt to rebuff criticism from senior American figures who claimed that Britain had nurtured Islamic extremism.
At first it was thought that MI5 gathered only limited information on Abdulmutallab and had therefore not alerted the US.
However, in an official briefing, the Prime Minister’s spokesman said that British intelligence was shared with the Americans. He said: “Clearly there was security information about this individual’s activities and that was information that was shared with the US authorities. That is the key point.” …
The decision by Downing Street to give details of the shared intelligence was unlikely to be welcomed by the White House. It was the latest in a series of incidents, which have strained relations between Britain and America.
Power Line – Chickens Come Home, Roost.
But Tunku Varadarajan argues we won’t be safe until Obama cuts the political correctness—and takes far tougher steps.
Next, make it more cumbersome for people in countries like Saudi Arabia and Pakistan to get a U.S. visa, and institute an immediate review of all visas issued to males under 40 from the 14 countries. Revoke all those that don’t pass a “smell test.” As Abdulmutallab demonstrated, a U.S. visa is a precious al Qaeda asset. In the same vein, introduce a form to be filled by all who pass through immigration at U.S. (air)ports, one that asks all travelers—irrespective of where they arrive from—if they have visited any of the countries on the list in the last two years. If they have, they must state the purpose of their visit. (How else do we scrutinize, say, the Dutch national of Somali origin who may have been in Somalia with the Islamist “Shabaab” six months ago, but who is, in this instance, flying directly to New York from The Hague? People will lie, but subsequent detection will help in deportation, or prosecution.)
We have to create—increasingly—two classes of traveler, those that get normal checks and those that are subject to intensive checks.
To conclude, there are three under-acknowledged factors involved here, all of them cultural in character (and our culture inclines us to overlook them). First, when the White House and Congress are in Democratic hands, a slight and silent sense goes out over all the bureaucracy that national security is not all that important or interesting. Second: Bureaucracies reward inertia and do not punish ignorance. They are also—no news here—deeply compartmentalized. Three: Every educated American under the age of about 40 has been indoctrinated into the view that the worst thing imaginable is to be judgmental, because to make a judgment is, per se, to be intolerant.
Nothing wrong with. It’s a start. Always remember that we should be civil to one another, but political correctness? That will be the death of us all.
Michael Yon arrested for not answering questions about his income at the airport? Well, there you have it…another wtf moment from those who have let the chickens come home to roost.
Oh look here, the foreign press doing the msm’s job once again.
Well, you know what this all means…turn your tee vees on cuz POTUS has another speech all ready for you to listen to.

I really think the Queen should take the country back until he’s out of office.
The Kenyan’s press office is also trying to blame PantyBoy’s antics on the State Department along with the third “crasher” at Manzilla’s extravaganza. Think the poll numbers are getting to him?
2010 can’t come soon enough
January 5, 2010 at 6:27 pm
I understand that they are trying to dump this in HRC’s lap because of the the visa issue. Wrong…the buck stops at assclown’s desk.
Do you really think the Queen would want the country in this state of affairs?
3rd party gate crasher. If I am not mistaken, this guy is an events main man who did work for GWB as well? Can’t remember where I found him, but he is a regular buttinski wannabe.
Manzilla doesn’t look happy to be back in DC, does she? Too bad Krakatoa didn’t go off.
January 5, 2010 at 7:44 pm
were mother-in-law & Bo put up at the kennel over holidays? absolutely no photos of them. Manzilla couldn’t take a Portugese Waterdog on a beach vacation when she’s got an entire beach to herself? The Bushes took Misses Beasley with them on holidays.
January 5, 2010 at 8:31 pm
Geesh!
After their 211th two-week vacation since taking office?
January 5, 2010 at 8:35 pm
Good question raging…where were they? The kennel.
January 5, 2010 at 8:36 pm
I thought this guy worked 4 days last year.
January 5, 2010 at 9:08 pm
And those four days were actually done by a sub – a card-board cut out of HObama!
January 5, 2010 at 6:27 pm
Absolutely the poll numbers are getting to him.
January 5, 2010 at 7:40 pm
what about global warming? me & my pooch are freezing our boobies off for the past week in south FL.
let’s face it. no matter how many times Barry screws up there’s always a talking head willing to shill for him. GOP candidates, & even Michael Steele himself were accused of campaign “unfairness” (ie. racism) this morning on Today Show.
o/t Barry’s nordic fan club is finally growing a set. Due to crotch bomber & cartoon hatchet killer, euro press is reprinting Mohammed-toons in multiple pubs: http://gatesofvienna.blogspot.com/2010/01/motoons-will-out.html#readfurther
January 5, 2010 at 8:02 pm
Woot, the toons are back!!
January 5, 2010 at 8:38 pm
Why great masticating Mohamed!
Did you know Mohamed wasn’t a virgin?
January 5, 2010 at 8:03 pm
This particular administration is very good at distraction.
January 5, 2010 at 8:33 pm
Yeah Raging!
Let’s all give a shout-out to “El Goro!”
Hey El Goro, how’s that Climate Warming working out for you?
January 5, 2010 at 8:36 pm
Oops.
Make that “El Gordo!”
Although Goro for all the gorging seems apropos too.

I think Obama should move out of the White House and let Nunly in to take his place. For one thing…I don’t need a telepromter to talk. I hate having my picture taken so there would be no media influence, not to mention, look at the money I would save the country by not paying for the media to follow me around on vacation.
And…speaking of vacations, my idea of a vacation is a small cabin on a lake where I cook myself and read books. Cheap. Or…just staying home and reading books. Cheaper yet.
State Parties? No way. Blogger Parties. Way.
Regarding how to handle AQ…all they would need is one disapproving Nunly look from me and they’d be high-tailing it back with their tails between their legs to Saudi or whatever slimy rock they crawled out from under.
Problem solved.
January 5, 2010 at 11:40 pm
Nunly, best be careful, you’re looking at becoming the next SNL skit a ala Mary Katherine, the Catholic girl.
We fit right in. I can easily state that parties would be had, but not these odd affairs that Obama throws. No cameras, absolutely. If someone wants a pic, they can have the sketch artist whip one up. Doesn’t sound cheap, just real.
January 6, 2010 at 11:18 am
The overdone reverberation while he (Obama) was speaking was CREEPY.
January 6, 2010 at 2:56 pm
LOL
Just a bit, huh? Welcome jj.

Good information here. I enjoyed reading this and can’t wait for more. Keep up the good work.

Wow, do you collect hatchets?
