ARTICLE: Bombing reports start trickling in to Obama, By Karen DeYoung, Washington Post, January 1, 2010
So Obama is only getting these reports now!!!!
Oooh! Does that reporting mean to imply that Obama doesn't spend a major portion of every day sifting through individual terror warning reports?!?!? OMG!
What did we elect this guy for?
Buck stops here, right?
Fire everybody, and then turn around and complain about how our intell agencies suffer from such a merry-go-round of leaders--damn straight!

If I paid tax in the US and found out that BO was spending all his time on individual reports I'd ask for my money back, that's what the CIA, DIA et all is for!

Could Obama be using there incidents and 'failed state' Yemen example to educate public and bureaucrats on Barnett insights and game plan? Also, will colleges with foreign affairs and international business courses make more use of Barnett books because of student interest provoked by these incidents. I'm not a Facebook user, but I hope Barnett club sees such ideas as a Facebook theme.

The President should not be fixing this intel issue. He should stay away from it in my opinion. Send a trusted minion out with a very sharp axe if needed.
Cut out the CYA, bureaucrats, politicians (other than required oversight) and let the worker bees work.
All the stuff in the links below ACTUALLY WORKS becasue it is run by the worker bees. The only one of these systems I have no direct access to is Intellipedia. I can say the others work and are used to good effect to solve crime and find bad actors.
A side note about TSC....up and running in 45 days. A small miracle in government.
I'm really getting fed up with this silliness and the comments from those that have no invovlement in the Law Enforcement, Military or Intel communities. By and large lots of stuff gets stopped. Someone is always trying to get something in or blow something up or cause problems. We can't get it all.
Stop bitching and call the Police if the thought "This is wrong / bad / odd/ weird" comes into your head.

In any organization, while the CEO is neither expected to do all, nor oversee it, the people he picks to operate those branches are, in turn, to produce the product they are there to produce. When it gets either too complex or inefficient, then this is changed immediately. And it is up to the manager of that failing branch to understand this before it adversely affects the rest of the endeavor and to make corrections.
IF . . the CEO doesn't understand what something does, then he'd damn well better have someone running it that IS an Expert, and who can, and will be held responsible for mistakes and shortcomings . .
