Freakin' Idiots

Pelosi and Reid...GEEZ, are there two dumber people on the planet?? Some quotes regarding the foiled terror attack:

"Today's news is an urgent reminder that we must make America safer and the world more stable,” Pelosi said in a prepared statement. "We must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission to improve airport security screening at checkpoints."

Excuse me, Einstein, but wasn't the terror plot FOILED?

"Terrorism remains the greatest threat to our security,” Reid said. "As the five year anniversary of the September 11th attacks approaches, we should take this opportunity not just to remember, but to take stock of what progress has been made to protect Americans and what steps remain unfulfilled.”

Has it slipped your crazy mind that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on our soil since 9-11? I guess we could go with your approach, sit down and try to reason with the terrorists.

Despite the Bush Administration’s success in preventing attacks in the United States since 9/11, Reid said "mismanagement” by Bush's policies make Americans feel that their security is at great risk.

"The Iraq war has diverted our focus and more than $300 billion in resources from the war on terrorism and has created a rallying cry for international terrorists,” Reid said. "This latest plot demonstrates the need for the Bush Administration and the Congress to change course in Iraq and ensure that we are taking all the steps necessary to protect Americans at home and across the world."

What a freakin' idiot. The war in Iraq IS part of the war on terror. Where do the Democrats dig these people up?

JASmius adds: Sorry for another intrusive post-script, but I can't resist a few of those Donk comments.

"We must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission to improve airport security screening at checkpoints."
"We" did that nearly two years ago. For all the good it's done, which isn't much. Those "strong recommendations" amounted to little more than putting intelligence bureaucracy organization charts in a blender and pressing the "liquify" button. Where has this hag been?

Oh, yes, that's right, helping to nationalize, and therefore hopelessly degrade, airport security, PC-ing the Federal Air Marshall corps to death, and trying to "kill" the Patriot Act, among other things. How silly of me.

Despite the Bush Administration’s success in preventing attacks in the United States since 9/11, Reid said "mismanagement” by Bush's policies make Americans feel that their security is at great risk.
That answers the classic question, "How do you argue with success?" The answer is: with irrelevant non sequiturs, like another tiresome anti-Iraq rant.

The question of why to argue with success is, regrettably, a rhetorical one.

"This latest plot demonstrates the need for the Bush Administration and the Congress to change course in Iraq and ensure that we are taking all the steps necessary to protect Americans at home and across the world."

Got that? The way to protect Americans at home from Islamic terrorists is to stop fighting them in Iraq. Yeah, that makes perfect sense.

And Barney Fife and Nora Desmond think they're going to be ruling Congress next year.

Is their blind faith unfounded? Public statements like this sure make it look that way.
