Obama orders improvements in security policies

We are not at war with a religion. Were at war with the radical militant fringe group that gives Islam a bad name. Also most Muslims dont live in the Middle East theyre mostly spread throughout Asia and Africa. In fact Indonesia has the largest Muslim population by percentage in the world. When we start bombing Jakarta let me know.

I concur, Saladin. I know so many peaceful, loving muslim families that I can't imagine any truly significant percentage of them becoming violent extremists. Certainly there are tens of thousands of Islamist extremists. There are also probably hundreds of thousands of Muslims who have very legitimate reasons to hate. If roles were reversed and some Iraqi warplane accidentally/negligently dropped a bomb on my house, killed my family and then had the audacity to refer to those deaths as "collateral damage" I can say for a certainty that my commitment to peace would be sorely challenged.

Americans demand an all nude air travel option!

Meanwhile...all of these people are missing the point, that if this so-called "TSA" is going to be effective at doing its job, it needs the right training and the right tools. TSA can't find ANYTHING today except for unopened water bottles and unexposed laptops, so in response, geniuses now are proposing to add full-body scanners to the arsenal of tools at the airports to help out TSA. So what, are we going to train TSA agents to be radiologists now? Please... TSA is totally ineffective, because they don't know what they're looking for and don't have the right tools to detect today's hazardous materials. (Although the puffer machine guy says his device could have found this particular teste-bomb.) How about just selling off airport security to private companies, and getting someone in there who can really do the job without having people have to pass nakedly through dogs, wands, screaming TSA people, and 15 body scanners just to take a weekend visit to grandma's?

No, I really don't see a pattern here to justify profiling, do you?

Laugh out out funny watch these idiots pat themselves on the back for apologizing.
Hey 0, pretty tough when you have to take the hit, huh?
Whadda dope.
Do us a favor and go back tot he golf course.

The left are not only consumed by a hatred of America and the West, they also firmly believe that to acquiesce and avoid conflict at all cost represents 'peace'. But it was not always thus. For most of human history peace meant being able to plant your crops or herd your sheep without being set upon by marauders and murdered, with you last thought the knowledge that your wife and children were about to be carried off into slavery. It meant building a prosperous community in which people could follow their livelihoods withour molestation. It meant being able to travel the roads without being beaten and robbed by brigands. It was greatly prized, and it was very rare.

Peace is not just when war is over and the armies have gone home. Peace is the condition of being secure in one's property and person. Of being able to perform one's routine activities
without fear. We seem to have forgotten how rare and precious real peace is. The typical condition of mankind a couple of centuries ago was to live in brutality and fear. Men had to be armed and eternally vigilant to attain peace, and women and serfs could not hope for it without the protection of rough men ready to do violence on their behalf. But today, in the luxury of our current circumstances, the whole concept of peace has morphed into the concept of avoiding conflict at any cost. When bullies emerge to confront us, we are not to take up our cudgels against them. You must remain supine before your persecutor, allow his boot to remain firmly on your neck, and then you will have peace. You must rely on reason, on discourse to dissuade the assassin from his task. Understand his point of view, look at historical reasons for his behaviour, acknowledge your own culpability in creating the conditions that produced his outrage. You deserve all that you're getting, you must know that. Give him everything he wants, and then what follows will be 'peace'.

oh god, i can hear the tinfoil hat brigade coming already...

i just want to know: he wants to bring all of this change, which we all want, but why he doesn't he simply fire the ones around him who have fucked up??

like desiree rogers, nobody knows what could have happened if the Salahis were other folks with lethal intentions. she helped get them in.

so, i ask, what is wrong with simply getting rid of them as soon as they fuck up. we can't have everyone be perfect, but it's time we stop declaring things as not a big deal, especially in our time of progression.

Occupying these countries and destroying their families will just create even more terrorists and hate onto America. Hasn't anyone learned from growing up that violence just creates even more violence. It's like crime in our streets. Pull the troops and focus on protecting US, HERE, in the USA! Not in other countries where we are defenseless if something ever really did go down like another WW3.

John what has happened to you personally that makes you feel unsafe? I don't know about you but so far i have been able to live my life without any thing involving terrorists occurring to me personally, so as far as my life is concerned our nations defenses are working just fine....have they been able to get through our defenses and hurt you?

Oh wow, I feel so much safer now...

Americans will feel "a certain shock" after reading Thursday's report , White House National Security Adviser James Jones told USA Today.

Well I was.

The loudest (deafening, actually) part of Obama's remarks today on the war on the West is what he didn't say. Not once in Obama's self aggrandizement pap of a speech today on the testicular Muslim bomber Christmas bomber did the Islamist president ever mention jihad or Islam.

And that is who we are at war with.

Al qaeda is the enemy. More obfuscation and deception.It was a bureaucrat boiler plate

Imagine, if you will, during say, World War II,if the axis (enemy) press accounts of military operations refused to use the word America or United States.

For example:

On June 6, 1944, nearly 160,000 Iowans, New Yorkers, Jersians, Alaskans, Texans and some black and white folks landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified Christian coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircraft filled with all kinds of people supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end, Floridians had gained a foot-hold in Normandy.

Obama would only speak to "Al qaeda".

Al qaeda is devout Islam. Just as Hamas, Hezb'Allah, al-mujaroon, Armed Islamic Group (GIA, al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyah al-Musallaha, French Groupe Islamique Armé; Arabic الجماعة الإسلامية المسلّحة ), MILF, CAIR, ISNA, Fatah, Muslim Brotherhood, Chen Chens, Riyadus-Salikhiin, Al-Gama'a al-Islamiyya, Armed Islamic Group of Algeria (redirect from Armed Islamic Groups), The Armed Islamic Group (GIA, al-Jama'ah al-Islamiyah al-Musallaha, Al-Jama’a al-Islamiyyah

It is Islam.

the only "shortcomings" we face...is our inability to face the truth about Isalm and not profiling these peeps...u mf's are determined to pc urself to death!
