Yes, delegation of duties means you are not involved in each and every detail. However, that does not absolve you of defining the method and means your staff uses to brief you on information. Were this a minor incident, it could be understandable. However, it was not and since his staff failed him, he has failed. That's the way it works. He gets to take credit when his staff performs well and thus has to take the hit when they do not.
Pretty much spot on. I'll wager it's been corrected now since his faux pas was seen on National TV.

U.S. Embassy in London Was Terror Target
Please try to keep up. Nobody ever said the plot wasn't a big deal, and nobody has given any evidence whatsoever that he was unaware of the plot and the investigation.

The only thing he appears to have not known about is that arrests had taken place.

And no, the arrests were not a big deal.

So, if you know about the plot....and don't know about the arrest...any person that knew about the plot would start talking....not look like a complete fool on TV....

HD..the WH has already said they screwed up and will fix it.
You can stop defending the administration as they are not even defending themselves anymore.

and you give us your definitions, and then contradict yourself, and then try to spin it your way....to make yourself look better...and it just won't happen....your digging yourself a hole....and like most...cannot get out so they continue to lie...

Honest answer: "I have been briefed on the London incident and will get back to you during a subsequent interview when I can discuss those details".

Dumb answer: "Huh? I . . don't . . know".

We got the latter.

Nuff said.
