Once again, political correctness gets in the way of protecting American citizens.  When will our elected leaders stop illegals coming across our borders, stop terrorists from getting on airplanes, stop giving terrorists American legal rights, and start profiling radical Muslims?  The White House cannot even get its own "guest lists" correct without allowing uninvited guests into secure environments.

The Obama administration has repeatedly said the failure to connect intelligence reports that might have prevented the Christmas Day panty-bombing attempt was not because spy agencies failed to share information.  Instead, John Brennan, assistant to the president for counterterrorism and homeland security, said top intel officials simply didn't understand all the intelligence pointing to a possible terrorist attack, which came true when a Nigerian national tried to blow up a U.S. airliner with a bomb in his underwear.  If they did not understand the information, should they still have a job?

There are many intelligence agencies, offices, and people working around the world to protect the United States.  Are these agencies asleep, not doing their jobs, or have the wrong leadership and priorities?   Intelligence intercepts captured a steady stream of chatter before the bombing attempt, including one that said a Nigerian with connections to al Qaeda was planning an attack.  Other major red flags -- Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab bought his ticket to Detroit with cash and was traveling with no luggage, his father warned the embassy, and he had communications with known terrorists.

President Obama said that his administration had a "systemic failure" of our security services, so what will he do to correct the situation?  Why were the signs missed and why were senior officials on vacation when there was a failure to prevent Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab (UFA) from flying into the country on Northwest Airlines Flight 253 with a bomb in his underpants that could have killed 300 people.  Only by the grace of God and the actions by passengers that the bomb did not explode.

Has the reforms of our intelligence agencies in recent years merely added bureaucracies and damaged the efficient collation and analysis of intelligence?  American citizens will be punished by new rules while flying while the TSA, FBI, and other agencies do not pay any price for not do their jobs.  Start profiling radical Muslims since no other individuals or groups are targeting the US.  Again, Iran is a major force behind all of these attacks.

Security must be Job One.
