Yes, he stated that it was all Bush’s fault….

Obama Says… Let me be clear, I’m thinking we might want to get these
guys to stop all the monkey business…..

By making us all sit with our hands in our lap for the last hour of
every flight.

Imagine that, Obama not knowing he is in a war?

Dead people don’t get to disagree.

You made that up….

It sure is nice when they think twice before killing people.

We are here to protect the USA not to appease the worlds opinion of
whether it’s reasonable to be killing Americans….

I need no one’s approval to protect myself. If you are that big an
idiot then I suppose Darwin has written your epitaph.

NO, but they know of Liberals weakness.

self defence is hardly unnecessary.

“We” don’t care what Al Qaeda wants, that is the realm of your mushy
Liberalism, we just want the guilty to be found and stopped.

You might check with the world to see how they feel about that.

So you are saying Obama started another war in another country, to stop

If Obama is using ‘every element of our national power’ and he is still
failing, he isn’t a very good Commander in Chief.

Feeling are the Liberals world, “we Americans” are looking for results.

Obama should be keeping the terrorists attention on staying alive,
instead of planning their new bombings of airliners.
