When the media or Feds are involved in a company's business I guarantee you, the CEO had better know it. Especially so he doesn't get caught flatfooted by the media with whom he had a scheduled interview. Heads would roll in a corporation. In fact the CEO's head would roll... to take a page out of the Islamic terrorist, 'how to treat your prisoners handbook'.


Our enemies have to know, now is the time to strike, with such celebrated incompetence as arranged by Obama inability to judge prospective administrators.

Brennan and Napolitano what a pair, throw in 'lap dog' Holder and you have three of a kind, but still a losing hand.
Kracer !!! ... On The Money !

Indeed your last sentence speaks volumes of this pitiful wittle threesome and their seemingly idiotic similarities to the 1950's comedy group known as the "Three Stooges" !!!

How did America ever get so damn lucky as to have this utterly pitiful crew assigned to such incredibly important govt. positions ???

America These days !!! Have A Jolly Good Evening Blokes !

I'm not concerned that the head man didn't know. I WOULD be concerned if the person who SHOULD have known didn't.

I think y'all are just looking for excuses to criticize. Had you found out he'd been down at field level dictating operations and responses, I suppose you would have criticized that too.
He IS the person responsible for knowing what is going on, not some low-level clerk sitting at a computer. Brennan knew, Big Sis knew, yet this incompetent boob sits there with his finger up his nose.

I think the most clueless people are those who post on internet forums as if they actually know anything about this stuff.

That selfsame thought occurs to me on a daily basis.

This is actually how things go during a terrorist attack.

The public is the first to know of course.

Then the government 'follow up' happens.

The antithesis of how this whole national security system is supposed to work, eh?

They've hobbled themselves by ignoring the problem for what it is. By not looking towards the real suspect peoples. And now by looking toward their own citizens as suspect.

The Keystone Cops would be better in charge IMHO.

RealClearPolitics - Video - Top Obama Intelligence Official Did Not Know Of London Bomb Plot

"I'm sorry, I didn't"....know that is, about the London plot that was ALL over the news.

Look at the guy, signaling brennan, Help!, Help!
A clueless fool in an administration of clueless fools.

Fool Napalitano and her 364 days in a year.

Fool Obama campaigning in 57 states

Fool Obama call them Navy Corpsemen

Fool VP telling the guy in a wheelchair to stand up

A charade of fools on parade.

I (for one) am comfortable that the security of our nation does not depend on what any one person knows at any one moment... no matter how high they are.
