Analysis: Many question ‘system worked’ comment

Some selected questions:

- How did airport security, improved at much cost after the 2001 terrorist attacks, miss the explosives concealed on the bomber’s body?

- How did the terrorist watchlist system allow Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to both keep his American tourist visa and avoid extra flight screening despite his father telling authorities his concerns about the younger man’s radicalization?

- Why didn’t Abdulmutallab’s lack of luggage, and cash purchase for an international flight, raise suspicions?

- Why was the plot thwarted only by an apparent explosive malfunction and fellow passengers’ aggressive action?

This country is being run by incompetent, ass kissing, nitwits who don’t deserve to even be dog-catchers let alone in charge of national government.  We are so FUBAR that the only way we’re ever going to fix it is by wholesale change.  And I mean all of them Dem, Repub, Independent what ever. THEY’RE ALL AS USELESS AS TITS ON A PUMP HANDLE.
