Lindsey Graham: Boston Bombing is 9/11 all over again

You've gotta be effing kidding me. This guy is a joke:


‘It’s 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 Graham‘s 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 CIA’s 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 president’s comments. “With all due respect to the president we’ve 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 didn’t follow-up,” Graham said, and when he came back from Russia, “the FBI and the CIA don’t 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.

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

whatever it takes to stop another, is well worth it.

we need PERMANENT security.

I don't want a temporary fix, but a permanent one.

I also thought that the FBI did attempt to follow up with Russia but didn't get any additional information from Russia?
