Brouhaha Over "Absorb" Comment Soley To Institutionalize Terrorism Myth
OurBomber quote merely paraphrases the Bush mob.
Aside from the stupidity of phony left/right antagonism, which is theater to convince the dullards there is any sort of debate concerning empire's courses of action, this type of contrived shit exists only to prop up the lie that 9/11 was an external attack.
Bob Woodword is supposedly a career CIA asset, after all, and it's funny how "opposition" voices were poised to attack.
Obama said US can absorb another 9/11, claims Woodward book
"Washington, Sep 23(ANI): US President Barack Obama reckons that the country can "absorb" another terror attack, a new book by journalist Bob Woodward has claimed.
"We can absorb a terrorist attack. We'll do everything we can to prevent it, but even a 9/11, even the biggest attack ever . . . we absorbed it and we are stronger," Obama reportedly said.
The comment has drawn tough criticism from Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney and chairwoman of Keep America Safe.
"This comment suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of President Obama and his administration," Liz said in a statement.
"Once again the president seems either unwilling or unable to do what it takes to keep this nation safe. The president owes the American people an explanation," she added."
Flashback: Bush National Security Strategy Said We Must Be ‘Able To Absorb The Impact’ Of A Terrorist Attack
"Recall, Cheney’s father — the former vice president of the United States — told Meet the Press’s Tim Russert in 2002 that another terrorist attack was “almost a certainty.” He added it that it was only a matter of time before the U.S. got hit again:
VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY: The prospect of another attack against the United States is very, very real. It’s just as real, in my opinion, as it was September 12.
TIM RUSSERT, NBC News: Not a matter of if, but when?
VICE PRESIDENT DICK CHENEY: Not a matter of if, but when."
