Our President’s not very happy about the Detroit wannabe bomber!
Yep, it’s a systemic failure, demanding explanations, promising accountability and leading absolutely nowhere near reality.
Bottom line, trying to stop one lone terrorist is like trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Our government spends trillions on defense, it’s certainly the biggest middle class jobs program for the lucky employed, but can’t manage to overcome a few thousand bad guys with lots of time on their hands, the ability to create explosions, and a ready stable of suicidal young men and women who have no future.
The President should be saying clearly that terrorism is not a serious national security threat, and never has been, but that goes against the bipartisan narrative of fear, defense contracting, and just wars that gave America a lost decade of torture, lying, and economic disaster.
We’re still a country in arrested adolescence, it would be nice just once if our leaders decided to grow up, but don’t hold your breath!
Gorilla thinks: “The odds of a successful terrorist attack are far longer than the odds that house prices will recover in Detroit, but we don’t give a shit about our own people suffering, we’re too afraid of the other guy’s revenge fantasy!”
