Some Dots Are Connected to Common Sense

Related Link » Obama: ‘We Are at War’
“President Obama on Thursday ordered a series of steps to improve the government’s ability to collect, share, analyze and act on intelligence of terrorist threats, saying the findings of a government review of the attempted airline bombing on Christmas Day revealed significant shortcomings in national security. [...] The president’s statement marked the second time in as many days that he delivered public remarks on the case of the attempted airline bombing and the intelligence lapses that surrounded it. He said Tuesday that the government had enough information to uncover the plot, but intelligence officials ‘failed to connect those dots’.” [emphasis added]

Ah, those treacherous little "dots", otherwise known as "fragments of information"! How can any national security organization do anything of consequence with these measly little dots, unless some third-grader connects them first? SRSLY!

When a prominent Nigerian man reports to an American embassy that his son has been radicalized and poses a significant violent threat, does such a fragment of information (AKA "dot") need further connecting before The Obama Himself's Secretarial Lackey of State, or any one of her numerous underlings, musters enough common sense to revoke said radicalized son's American visa? Before he is able to board a plane heading to the United States, with a bomb inside his doodie pants? WhatTF is going on here, and WhyTF is it going on here?

My fellow Americans, I know we are all very busy dealing with the everyday business of surviving in unusually difficult economic times. But still and all, how much bullshit are we willing to swallow from an Administration that is willfully inept and risks American lives on a daily basis? Is there a limit beyond which we can no longer contain our outrage? SRSLY!
