Susan Rice; “we have not had a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11”
Our friends at Weasel Zippers noticed that our current National Security Advisor Susan Rice told Lesley Stahl at 60 Minutes that “we have not had a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11”;
Lesley, [NSA’s spying on US citizens has] been worth what we’ve done to protect the United States. And the fact that we have not had a successful attack on our homeland since 9/11 should not be diminished. But that does not mean that everything we’re doing as of the present ought to be done the same way in the future.
I guess it’s all a matter of semantics, if the Obama Administration is unwilling to label attacks on US soil as terrorism, I guess she’s right. But in actuality, her statement stopped being true June 1st, 2009. A few months into the Obama Administration, Carlos Bledsoe shot two soldiers on recruiting duty in Little Rock. Carlos changed his name to Abdulhakim Muhammad when he converted to Islam. He tried to tell the state’s prosecutor that it was a terrorist attack and that he had links to al Qaeda. And then there is the attack at Fort Hood that the government absolutely refuses to call terrorism. And, oh, by the way, what the Hell was the Boston Marathon bombing? The Benghazi attack on September 11th, 2012 was technically on US territory, not to put too fine a point on it.
Just because you don’t call it terrorism, that doesn’t mean it isn’t.

I just can’t be surprised by the shit these people spew out their cum pockets anymore. Just shake my head in disgust and wait for the bit of shitacular dumbassery to emerge. Fuck’em all and let’em eat fish heads!!
Living in Massachusetts I would tend to disagree with this fallacious (fellatious?) political hack.
A muslim kills a bunch of soliders at fort hood and it’s not terrorism because the current administration thinks yelling islamic phrases while shooting people is a workplace violence incident….
Well wishing it were so doesn’t exactly make it true, but liars are liars so it’s to be expected from this administration….
I’ve heard that Jay Carney has taken to wearing asbestos undergarments to avoid his trousers burning his legs…and that’s how this administration rolls.
Isn’t she on the same team that calls every word from a conservative a terrorist attack?
(Maybe she didn’t get the memo.)
Susan Rice is nothing more or less than a bedwetting Obamabot hack. However, pointing that out makes you a racist, naturally.
Change those yellow sheets, Rice.
Maybe Rice is using the “logic” that the attacks were carried out, but the perpetrators didn’t get away? There were no videos from the shooters/bombers to proclaim their jihad was successful, so the attacks weren’t a success? That’s all I’ve got, otherwise, she’s just full of s**t.
Rice is a straight up dope. All these crises are just intellectual exercises for them. They have no feel for the real world consequences, the real world pain suffered by the victims of these crises.
I really wish we could take someone like Rice and plop her down in the middle of the chaos of the Fort Hood terrorist attack or beam her to roof of the safe house in Benghazi during the firefight. She might, just might, change her tune.
I guess the Boston bombing was just more “workplace violence”
I hope some day she returns to reality with a hard, butt-hurting thump.
@4 OldSargeUSAR Thanks for that. My sentiments exactly. What a dumb ass POS. If this Administration tells me the water is wet, I’m going to the faucet to be sure.
Rice is just trying to keep her job. She isn’t a fucking moron and that statement basically says she was told to say it.
Guy bombed the plane in Detroit. It was successful. It just didn’t cause the damage they wanted it to cause. Same thing with that shit in time square. Successful attacks none the less. This administration has been lucking out until Boston happened.
@5: no one’s been CONVICTED YET, so those are all ALLEGED terrorist attacks and ALLEGED terrorists.
Oh wait. Hasan DID get convicted. Nevermind!
I went through a LE counter terrorist course in the late 90’s. At that time, there was about 200 “domestic” terrorist attacks in the US every year. When you looked at PETA, anti abortion bombings, attacks on other places…yep there were about 200 a year.
Since we no longer seem to care about domestic terrorist, I guess it doesn’t count.
She “doesn’t have time” to think about such silly things. I mean after all, “what difference does it make?”
We have not been attacked by outsiders (insiders attack all the time) because presdent bush didn’t need a “THIRD” Pearl Harbor. And President Obama doesn’t want a third pearl harbor and he brought bush’s business pardner osama bin ladin to justice! google bush and bin ladin business ties!
@14
Google “Obama’s Ties to Socialism, Marxism, and Communism”
and “Hawaii Health Director at center of Obama birth certificate scandal dead in plane crash”
or “Clinton friends who have ended up dead”
All kinds of crazy things you can find with Google my friend
You know what bothers me? Well, I mean aside from those tens of thousands of other things. The term ‘homeland’ bothers me when used to refer to US soil. I don’t know why but there is something about that term that seems foreign.
Is that like ‘fatherland’, AirCav?
‘Deutschland uber alles’, or something similar in a slogan?
Yeah, or Motherland, as in Mother Russia, I guess. In fact, there are a great many terms that are now commonly used in the USA that were once quite alien to our lexicon.
VWP, since it’s Christmas Eve and all, I’ll go easy on ya today:
GFY, ya tard. Then take a cannonball onto a toilet plunger.
I’m feeling charitable, since it’s Christmas Eve. For vwpussypants, I would advise you to spend some time on REAL history instead of on internet gossip rags. Go to Barnes & Noble to the nonfiction section, get yourself a latte with a lot of sugar in it, and read Paris: 1919. It’s about the signing of the Treaty of Versailles at the end of World War I. It’s a doctoral thesis, essentially, that explains why the Soviet Union under Stalin was able to become such a threat to the world, and how the world map was redrawn to suit the needs of four countries: Great Britain, France, Italy and the USA.
The map of the world before the Treaty of Versailles had all the obscure central Asian countries that disappeared under Stalin’s thumb. With the end of the USSR in 1989, they have re-emerged and the world is now in more chaos than it was in 1919.
And I blame ignorant, useless people like you, because you’re a lazy, self-serving, self-centered asshole with nothing useful to say and you do nothing useful for anyone. Well, your handouts will end some day, when people like me, who worked their asses off for decades, send you packing.
Gulag is, gulag is, gulag is the perfect place!!!!!
@14 Not by outsiders? I’m convinced you write this stuff as inflammatory nonsense to receive a reaction. Perhaps internet flame wars are your brand of porn….as usual however your comments are diametrically opposed to the truth.
Two kids here on green cards putting bombs at the Boston Marathon hardly qualify as insider attacks…these were foreign nationals here ostensibly to receive an education.
We are at war with islam, it’s about time we recognize that and start acting accordingly. Pretending things that are historical fact are not true is a political ploy used for centuries, in the end it changes nothing however.
@21 “I’m convinced you write this stuff as inflammatory nonsense to receive a reaction.”
That’s specifically why I don’t respond to the little jack-wagon anymore, I refuse to be manipulated by useless and inconsequential people, it gives them the mistaken impression that they somehow matter.
