What is evident is the honesty of both the Obama officials and "main stream media.'"

Actually this honesty shows they are not into covering up mistakes and propagating information. Glad you are realizing this Sanrene! Good for you!

So....you're "comfortable" with the TOP US INTELLIGENCE OFFICIAL being utterly clueless about a huge bomb plot and arrests?

The WH NOW admits he wasn't briefed.

So they initially came out LYING (so much for your "honesty" meme) and then decided it would be better to admit the guy was kept in the dark.

Of course you conveniently ignore the fact the article also states "The intelligence community as a whole was fully aware of this development and tracking it closely"



Gee, is there any other reason you'd ignore that fact other than in making another "let's cherry pick the story" attempt at promoting your personal bias?

THE TOP Intelligence Official had NO clue about the plot. Diane was just as shocked about his blank, empty stare. He ADMITTED he had no idea.

Truly amazing, dangerous and incompetent.

Happy now Happy?
Well, not as a whole; after all the top man was not aware...

How is pointing out the hypocrisy of the OP "bashing" Bush? The facts are the facts and if the facts clearly show the inadequacies and disingenuous actions of the previous administration, one cannot call it bashing. Sometimes the facts are ugly, but don't blame the messenger.

Is anybody here aware of everything that's going on around them? Is there any CEO, anywhere, who knows everything that's going on down on the shop floor in real time? Is there any boss or supervisor whose underlings tell him everything, all the time?

No, of course not. Anybody who would expect that knows nothing about....well, much of anything.

Cringe-worthy indeed;

Diane Sawyer - James Clapper | London - Stumped | Mediaite

Quote:
In a cringeworthy performance, Sawyer asked Clapper what he knew about possible ties between the London arrests and any potential threat on the U.S. homeland. Clapper, who sat silent and obviously confused by the question, ultimately told Sawyer he didn’t even know as much about the arrests as anybody who’d watched Good Morning America that day.

As Sawyer’s interview sparked widespread discussion, the office of the DNI issued a statement suggesting–outrageously, it now seems–that it wasn’t that Clapper didn’t know about the arrests, but that he knows so much stuff about what’s going on that it was hard to understand what Sawyer was asking with a vague reference to “London.”
Gosh, thank goodness Bush implemented such far reaching and diversified intelligence programs and tools for these fools to follow.
