National security adviser: US safer under Obama

Stay tune for some classic nonsense from Dick Cheney after he hears this....

Marine Gen. James Jones, speaking to an Atlantic Council forum,

Quote :

"I firmly believe that the United States is not only safe, but will be more secure, and the American people are increasingly safer because of the president's leadership that he has displayed consistently over the last four months both at home and abroad."

Yeah, BWG. They are going to be launching a missle with a 4,000 mile range, more than the distance needed to hit Alaska, and maybe Hawaii. Obama needs to concentrate on his "Kumbaya" crap, as it isn't working too good.

Maybe if he didn't "jet" to New York to eat and catch a show with "The Hunchback".

Yeah,or just maybe the two of you suffer from memory loss and conveniently forgot the part Bush played in this.....

Bush administration to lift North Korea sanctions Updated 6/26/2008 7:23 PM

It happens to be under Obama's watch. Bush hasn't been president for 6 months now. Will you still be blaming Bush 3 years from now, when the U.S. is the new 3rd world country???

How desperate are you to protect that miserable failure GW Bush? You can't even get Obama's dates in office correct. According to my calculations,Obama has been in office a grand total of 133 days,or a little over 4 months.

Are you now going to try and claim that N. Korea started up their nuclear program only 133 days ago? N. Korea is a threat because of Bush's failures in foreign policy.

Yep! GW Bush and his failures will haunt the GOP for years and years and we will take every opportunity to point those out.

Let's see, Obama took office in January, and this is now June. Maybe not a full 6 months, but definately the 6th month he is in office, no? January, February, March, April, May, June............
Clinton's failures to take action on the intelligence reports, is one of the reasons that 9-11 happened a few months later under Bush.

Well nobody has flown into any towers under Obama's watch.

Clinton warned Bush and so did Israel.

NO NO NO!!! 133 days. That's approximately 4 months and 13 days give or take a day.

I see you totally dodged this though :

And here,in a last gasp, you try to desperately change the subject with a well known right-wing lie... Pathetic!

I don't recall the 911 commission blaming Clinton but I do remember this:

Bush criticized by former 9/11 commission member
AP
Fri May 22, 5:27 pm ET

WASHINGTON – A former member of the 9/11 Commission criticizes former President George W. Bush in a new book for not responding to pre-attack intelligence on Osama bin Laden's intentions.

In "The Emperor's New Clothes: Exposing the Truth from Watergate to 9/11," Richard Ben-Veniste writes that CIA analysts told Bush that bin Laden was determined to strike inside the United States, "yet the president had done absolutely nothing to follow up."

A Democrat and a longtime Washington attorney, Ben-Veniste provides an inside account of the commission's three-hour interview with Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney on April 29, 2004.

Bush told the panel that the Aug. 6, 2001, intelligence summary — known as a presidential daily brief — was the only one he ever received on the domestic threat, Ben-Veniste writes.

In the interview with Bush, Ben-Veniste asked the president why he hadn't met with the FBI director after getting the PDB.

Bush replied that there were concerns predating his administration about politicizing the FBI and interfering in pending cases.

But "this was no pending case subject to claims of political interference," Ben-Veniste writes in his book.

The president said he couldn't recall whether he asked National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice to get in touch with the FBI regarding the PDB, according to the book

Finally,and this is really hilarious,you want to blame Obama who's been in office a little over 4 months,for a festering N. Korean situation that started years ago and continued for 8 years under Bush's watch,yet the occurrence of 911, 8 months into Bush's term and it's 'Clinton's fault"


Now please try and stay on topic.

Our enemies know we have a wimp for a president. They now have nothing to fear.

Do have anything based on fact that would support your latest nonsensical allegation?

Quote :

Nearly two-thirds of likely voters – 64 percent – approve of the job Obama is doing on national security. That is 6 points higher than his already strong overall job approval rating (at 58 percent, the highest we have yet recorded). On other aspects of national security – from Iraq, to Afghanistan, to terrorism, to the president’s foreign diplomacy – the same is true: higher job approval ratings than on the President’s overall job approval.

Given their approval of the president’s performance on foreign affairs, voters flatly reject the claims from former Vice President Cheney and other Republicans that Obama’s policies put America at risk. By nearly a 2 to 1 margin, Americans say that President Obama is doing better, not worse, than his predecessor, George W. Bush, when it comes to national security.

I don't know about "sheeple",but the American public has been wide awake since 2006. So far the Democratic Party has picked up about 50 seats in the House,12 Senate seats after Franken gets seated in a couple of weeks,and the Presidency.

Is that supposed to imply that Obama is a Nazi or comparable to Hitler?

I guess North Korea didn't get the memo.

North Korea does this kind of thing. They get pissy, start up their nuclear programs, the United States trembles in fear and then we offer them something like food to stop it. Then they behave themselves for awhile, until they want something else from us and then they immediately go back to what works. a.k.a. scaring the shit out of you

Quote :

Starting in late August, 2008, North Korea allegedly resumed its nuclear activities at the Yongbyon nuclear facility, apparently moving equipment and nuclear supplies back onto the facility grounds. Since then, North Korean activity at the facility has steadily increased, with North Korea threatening Yongbyon's possible reactivation.

North Korea has argued that the U.S. has failed to fulfill its promises in the disarmament process, having not removed the country from its Sponsors of Terror list or sent the promised aid to the country.

Quote :

On October 11, 2008, the U.S. and North Korea secured an agreement in which North Korea agreed to resume disarmament of its nuclear program and once again allowed inspectors to conduct forensic tests of its available nuclear materials.

So basically it was like Kim Jong Il held up a welfare office in exchange for more aid and and to get his criminal record cleared. And our former chicken shit president was like "Golly Gee, what could this hurt?"

If Obama wants to send a clear message to them, he'll quit sending any aid and let the dumb fend for themselves. Let the retarded Chinese and Russians take care of them. But NO!!! If Obama is like every dumbass president before him, he'll pander like the previous retard we put in office.

Classified documents on our Nuclear sites were "accidentally" released by this administration.So now, our enemies know where all of it is at. Nothing like making the American People sitting ducks, EH??? We have been handed over to our enemies.

Paul, in my post, I was just trying to illustrate the mindset of those who follow without questioning anything.

Sorry to burst your bubble...

Quote :

The head of the agency responsible for the country's nuclear weapons says a list of nuclear sites accidentally made public does not include classified information about weapons-related facilities.

Thomas D'Agostino head of the National Nuclear Security Administration, told a Senate hearing Wednesday the sites on the list are of civilian facilities and that none of the information is classified.
