United States Could 'Absorb' Another Terror Attack, Obama Says in Woodward Book

FOX News:

President Obama, after being warned repeatedly by his advisers about the threat of another terror attack on U.S. soil, said in an interview two months ago that the United States could "absorb" another strike.

The comment was included in the new book by journalist Bob Woodward, "Obama's Wars," excerpts of which were reported by The Washington Post and The New York Times.

The book depicts the contentious debate the Obama administration endured to craft a new strategy in Afghanistan. According to the Post, Obama spent the bulk of the exhaustive sessions pressing for an exit strategy and resisting efforts to prolong and escalate the war.

Despite warnings of another attack, he suggested the United States could weather a new strike.

"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.

According to the book, Obama said, "I have two years with the public on this" and pressed advisers for ways to avoid a big escalation in the Afghanistan war.

Boy, I sure feel safer now.

Absorb? So President Spongebob Squarepants thinks this country's economy can absorb another terrorist blow? The only reason we survived was because of our love for this country and the American spirit and BUSH was our president!

Maybe the new plan is to build a mosque next to every possible target, then we will be safe.

In yesterday's WH press conference, Gibbs talked about the construction going on at the WH. He joked that the Washington Monument was being moved to the front of the WH. Maybe, in fact, they are building a mosque for Urkel.

If Woodward is accurate, this may have just clinched the House for the GOP, and it will definitely be mentioned in every Pubbie campaign ad from now till November, 2012. The question is whether Obambi's delusional enough to think this helps him, when it's effectively political death for him and a lot of RATS in the House and Senate who supported him in '08.

Bolton was on FNC this morning and absolutely livid about this comment. Obama is truly dumb and just doesn't get it. I have always felt that he is not well read either.
