Its 9/11 All Over Again: Graham Hits Back At Obama For Press Conference Rebuke On Boston, Benghazi
by Matt Wilstein | 1:44 pm, April 30th, 2013
Barely an hour had gone by since President Obama rejected Republican Senator Lindsey Grahams suggestion that both Boston and Benghazi represent steps backwards on national security and there was the senator calling into Fox News to defend himself. Graham hit back hard against the president, calling the FBI and CIAs failure to prevent the attack on Boston, 9/11 all over again.
Echoing the written statement he delivered before going on the air, Graham did not hesitate to go after the presidents comments. With all due respect to the president weve lost eight Americans to radical Islamists in the last seven months. Four dead in Benghazi. Four dead in Boston, and when you look at each case the system failed.
Pointing to instances in the Boston case leading up to the bombings in which federal agencies failed to communicate information about the older Tsarnaev brother, Graham also drew parallels to 9/11, aided by Fox host Jon Scott. The FBI did a good job with interviewing him in 2011 but they didnt follow-up, Graham said, and when he came back from Russia, the FBI and the CIA dont get notified. That is 9/11 all over again.

At least Obama wasn't reading My Pet Goat while planes were crashing into buildings and people were dying by the thousands.

(11,464 posts)as Hillary said, it matters little how, just that it don't happen again.
As Benjamin Franklin said An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
it is real silly to lay blame on things like this
what is important is to get more security so future events don't happen
