Feinstein, Gibbs, Can’t Keep Their Mouths Shut on Fruit of Kaboom

 

 

A couple of days ago I caught a bit of an exchange between Orrin Hatch (R-UT), Kit Bond (R-MO), and Diane Feinstein (Harpy-CA) it seems there is much much more to this story and it doesn’t seem to be gaining much traction.  This plays like an episode of 24.  Let me see if I can give the full picture of what happened.

Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab, The Fruit of Kaboom, underpants, or as the pc crowd is calling him now  “The Christmas Day Bomber”, due to his own incompetence and through no action of our intelligence of law enforcement communities fails in his attempt to kill innocent civilians.  He was then taken into custody, where he started singing like a bird.  Then in a really masterful stroke at the behest of the O-ministration he was mirandized after which he immediately lawyer-ed, and shut, UP.  Howls of outrage and public outcry ensue and someone somewhere in the FBI has the bright idea to put his parents on a plane so they could be with him, in the hopes they will encourage him to be more cooperative.  Other deals may have been made, one deal apparently that was made was that he would talk, but only if we kept quiet about it. 

Now, a word about Congressional Hearings.  There is a saying regarding legal proceedings, “never ask a question you do not know the answer to". This is sage advice because you could ask a question and ruin your case.  If you do not realize already, now is the time to learn that most things done for the cameras of C-span, especially when it comes to high profile cases like the Fruit of Kaboom® bomber are dog and pony shows.  The committee members know the questions and the answers before hand, but it is a great PR move to make people admit their failures on TV.  Senators and Representatives get to look smart, or tough, and the American people are mollified.

SO… Everyone on the Senate Intelligence Committee that day (obviously) knew that Abdulmutallab (fruit of kaboom bomber) was talking, why he was talking, the conditions of his talking, and what he was saying. But there sat Diane Feinstein and across the table and down on the floor in front of her sat all the heads of all the intelligence agencies and the FBI and so she saw an opportunity to look smart and tough for the voters, and probably curry favor with the O-ministration.

She asked the head of the FBI  Robert Mueller,

"It is also my understanding that Mr. Abdulmutallab has provided valuable information. Is that correct?"             

"Yes," Mueller replied.
"Thank you," Feinstein said.

(so far so good, she hasn’t spilled the beans yet)

AND THEN THE COUP DE GRACE

"…and that the interrogation continues
despite the fact that he has been Mirandized?"
"Yes," Mueller said again.

Off microphone, you can hear Kit Bond saying the whole time she is asking the  question, once he realizes she stepped into a steaming pile of shit, “no no no no no.”

Too late; what was Mueller going to do?  Lie to the Head of the Senate Intelligence Committee on C-Span?

It was stunning to behold I tell you.  But wait the story gets worse

White House Blabber Mouth, Chief Propaganda and Apologist® Robert Gibbs told reporters all about it, hiding behind the fact that the cat was already out of the bag since it was said in open Senate hearing proceedings.  Kit Bond wrote a letter to the White House chastising the administration, and the White House had the temerity to demand an Apology from Bond!

  Do you know why Diane FrankenStein and Nasty Botoxi, and all the rest of those worthless scumbags don’t care if you or I die on a commercial airliner?  Because they and their families DO NOT FLY COMMERCIAL.  So as soon as Al-Queda hijacks a Air Force Plane Nasty Botoxi has commandeered for her family’s use or a Private Gulfstream that some other member of congress is on, they will care.  Until then, these types of incidents will only be used for political gain from those on the Left, National Security, and by that, I mean OUR Security, be damned.

Beware: Hell hath frozen over

This was a comment AD33 made to an earlier post and I thought it should be a post of its own. This is all in reference to pResident "Chairman Zero" Obamarx telegraphing his war exit strategy to our enemies. If FDR and Churhill had told the Germans the day date and time of D-day do you think it would have been successful? No. Obamarx has guaranteed our failure in Afghanistan because he has told our enemies that if they can just hold put we will leave. He might as well have bowed to them and the only reason he hasn't us because he hasn't been in the same room as any of Al Queda's leadership.

To quote Chris Mathews ( a first for this blog), "If I were Al qaeda and the Taliban, I'd circle the withdrawal date as the day to start their "surge." You know that when Chris "what's wrong with calling al Qaeda" Mathews gets it, then it must not even be to the level of common sense. So easy a caveman could figure it out. (now the cavemen won't be so offended by geico commercials as being compared to Mathews is far worse.)

Should we do the "surge"?

Last night, Alan Colmes the liberal corpse at Fox News made the argument that we should bring our troops home from Afganistan. I have to admit, I agree with Colmes but for very different reasons. We know we have a pResident that cares more for his pack of cigarettes than he does for our troops. We know that since Obama took office, he has hancuffed our troops with rules of engagement that our soldiers in Vietnam would have deserted over. We know we are fighting an enemy that is as vicious as any in history. We know our pResident has no desire to achieve anything resembling a victory regarding any foreign policy issue. We know the only reason that Obama is doing this surge is because he needs to do something to appease mainstream America because the majority of Americans excluding the extreme left now disapprove of Obama's handling of his job from the economy, to foreign policy to health care. Given the fact that this troop surge adds up to nothing more than throwing 30,000 more troops into the gauntlet of a no win scenario being run by a no win boss, isn't the better choice to bring our troops home from Afganistan now and not lose anymore American lives in a war the regime wants to lose?

I am all for going all out to try to win in Afganistan but I heard nothing about winning in Obama's speech last night. I did hear more apologies for America's wrongs, more blame on the previous administration and much more subserviance to NATO, the UN and any other foreign power. Such attitudes are not winning attitudes, but the same attitudes that led to the quagmayer in Vietnam.

So you tell me, am I wrong to want to put our troops first?

So let me get this straight

After three months of dithering...the plan is to straddle the fence...

Well apparently, and I have come to expect nothing more out of this boy king.

What a feckless loser. Welcome to Vietnam 2.0 where the war will be lost in Washington DC.

Come 2012, or sooner, if there is any justice in this world, we will see him straddling something else; a rail, as we ride him out of town. Universally regarded as the worst president we have ever had.
