Christmas Bomber? This Calls for a Conference!

Almost a week after the fact, and after two previous attempts, our President finally comes out with a definitive statement in response to the Christmas bomber:

"I anticipate receiving assessments from several agencies this evening and will review those tonight and over the course of the weekend. On Tuesday, in Washington, I will meet personally with relevant agency heads to discuss our ongoing reviews as well as security enhancements and intelligence-sharing improvements in our homeland security and counterterrorism operations."

So, here are the active verbs he used: "anticipate," "receiving," "will review," "will meet personally," and "discuss." Oh, and "ongoing reviews," "security enhancements," and "intelligence-sharing improvements" are verbs, kinda, but only as subjects of a "discussion," before they become, you know, post-verbally active.

200 plus American citizens were very nearly murdered, and this is the response of America's Commander in Chief?

I am afraid that our Leader is a pocket-protected policy wonk, out of his depth with a real world attack on America.  It seems the near mass slaughter of all those on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 is just another occasion for opening a file labeled "Detroit" for meaningless emails, memos, and notes from meetings with various other people who are opening files for meaningless emails, memos, and notes.

Sheesh!  Batten down the hatches, America, your gonna take a lot of artillery before our Leaders wake up to some semblance of reality.
