Useful idiots
Yesterday the President gave a speech that contained details about a planned terrorist attack on LA back in 2002 that was foiled thanks to the hard work of US intelligence services working in harmony with other countries who are also taking part in the global war on terror.
As this article makes clear, the press has been pressing the President for details on this, as well as other foiled terrorist attacks, that he mentioned briefly in a speech back in October. No doubt in an effort to appease the press as well as Democrats who were skeptical of those claims, the President revealed details of the planned-but-foiled LA attack yesterday.
James Taranto outlines the Democratic reponse to the President’s discussion of the foiled 2002 attack. Once you read it, you’ll realize why I titled this post the way I did.
Hint: it includes a quote from our favorite Senator.
