President Obama goes after his favorite target. You’d hope it would be the terrorists, but nope… it’s the U.S. Intelligence community, they are to blame for the botched Christmas Day bombing.
"This was a screw up that could have been disastrous," the president said during a meeting in the White House situation room, according to the White House media office. "We dodged a bullet but just barely. It was averted by brave individuals not because the system worked and that is not acceptable. While there will be a tendency for finger pointing, I will not tolerate it."
Well, the finger should be first pointed at President Obama as he’s all but neutered our intelligence-gathering capability. This is what you should expect when you treat a war on terror as a law enforcement action.

@Mel, LOL, you are right, if that is what I meant it would be.
Even if Obama was trying his “mightiest” in his police action, the language that he/they use to descrbe the terrorists can only be disheartening to the armed forces.
@M. Hovda, You are right it doesn’t exactly inspire confidence when your commander-in-chief talks this way.
Why is it wrong to treat terrorism as a crime? The War on Terror certainly doesn’t stack up to just war theory.
@Ryan, For starters it isn’t effective, history proves that. Also looking at Augustine’s criteria for a just war I think that is very much up for debate.
I don’t for a minute believe it was an intelligence screw up. We have the best of the best. Something else is going on here.
