Excerpt:
Barack Obama promised Tuesday that he would be taking lessons from the Boston Marathon jihad bombing: "When an event like this happens, we want to review every step that was taken, we want to leave no stone unturned, we want to see if there is in fact additional protocols and procedures that could be put in place that would further improve and enhance our ability to detect a potential attack."
Sounds great – but ultimately all Obama offered were words. Words that are unlikely to be backed up by real action. The one thing that needs to be done – an official acknowledgement of the reality and magnitude of the global jihad, and the commitment of U.S. intelligence to understanding and combating it – is the one thing that will not be done.
After all, the Administration official Obama has charged with ferreting out the lessons of Boston is none other than his director of national intelligence, James "Clueless" Clapper, who thinks the Muslim Brotherhood is "largely secular." Obama explained: "Part of what Director Clapper is doing is to see if we can determine lessons learned from what happened" in Boston.
