\"at-war-with-al-qaeda\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve been catching snippets of Obama’s speech yesterday about our engagement in the war against terrorists, and actually I’m pretty amazed. I’m not amazed that the President has decided that the war against terrorists is important, I’m amazed that he acts like it just started on Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

We all know how history and events revolve around him, but apparently, he doesn’t plan on engaging in anything unless he starts being criticized about something. The “connect-the-dots” moment, the “buck stops here” moment – it all contributes to our “What the Hell?” moment.<\/p>\n

In his speech, he mentioned 9-11 and reported on the events of that day like none of us had ever heard of it or the extent of the casualties. Like he’s giving us permission to be outraged about it now. From Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Obama announced about a dozen changes designed to fix that, including new terror watch list guidelines, wider and quicker distribution of intelligence reports, stronger analysis of those reports, international partnerships and an interagency effort to develop next-generation airport screening technologies.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

How much of that is new? Um, none. <\/p>\n

Idiot revelations like we heard yesterday should be followed by a string of firings – all the way down to the knucklehead who wrote his speech. The “buck stops here” speech should have been given on the day of the attempted attack, if not right after the Hasan attack at Fort Hood. Two weeks later makes it lame and stale.<\/p>\n

Of course dicksmith disagrees<\/a> with me;<\/p>\n

It’s funny that after eight years of a President who refused to intellectually analyze a problem and simply made “gut” decisions that often turned out badly, there are still talking heads out there who consider deliberation a bad thing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It’s funny that there’s no evidence that Bush made “gut decisions” or that any of them turned out badly, for that matter, but dicksmith will take every opportunity to swipe at Bush, even though he’s been gone almost a year. But Bush didn’t bother doing focus groups for a month before he arrived at a conclusion and a policy – like this president apparently.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
