BRENNAN: I consider that Homeland Security, law enforcement, intelligence and the military have done an outstanding job since 9/11.

You know, when I hear these references to being lucky, tell that to the hundreds of thousands of American men and women who are serving in Afghanistan and in other parts of the world, who are at our points of entry, who are working around the clock here in the United States and abroad. That’s not luck. That’s patriotism. That’s dedication. That’s capability and talent.

And so we’ve been able to stop them in their tracks. They are determined. They are going to continue to look for opportunities to get here to the United States. This is something that they have pledged to do. I think we have a very strong track record, and that’s why we have redundant capabilities in place.

We’re not lucky. We’re good.

What? You stopped them in their tracks? Was Major Hassan stop? Was the Christmas Day bomber stopped? Was the Times Square bomber stopped? Give me a damn break – and trying to hide behind the military in Afghanistan isn’t going to get it slick -you failed not once, not twice, but 4 times here at home on Obama’s watch 4 damn times and you have the nerve to say you weren’t lucky you were good? Give me a damn break.

Luckily Chris Wallace shot back…

WALLACE: But in fairness, you haven’t stopped them in their tracks, sir. Over the last six months we had Nidal Hasan, the Army major who went on a shooting spree at Fort Hood. We had Abdulmutallab, who was able to get on a plane on Christmas Day and set off a bomb that just failed to go off, but he was able to set it off. And then we have this guy who traveled back and forth to Pakistan, put a car bomb on a Saturday night in Times Square and set it off. Failed to go off. You didn’t stop them in their tracks.

But Brennan whined on….

BRENNAN: We’ve stopped many, many operations, terrorist plots, from taking place here in the United States and overseas. On a daily basis we are being successful finding them, arresting them, killing them, stopping these types of attacks.

Name one… name one you’ve stopped this administration can’t wait to run out in front of the cameras and pat themselves on the break for every little fart they let – so name one and so us the proof it’s not something you are making up. I don’t believe you and I think you and this entire administration is lying.

WALLACE: Question: Why is this administration’s first response to play down these attacks?

BRENNAN: I don’t think it’s an attempt to play down. What we’re trying to do is to be open with the American public, trying to let them know what we know at those times. These investigations are ongoing.

You don’t think there is an attempt to play down? You’ve got to be kidding – I seem to recall Obama telling the American people on to jump to conclusions on Hassan at Ft Hood – even though he has jumped to them on the Gates arrest and the Arizona law – but then again he is the king of do as I say and not as I do.

So it comes down to the Obama administration once again patting itself on the back for a job not done – they have failed on nearly every front from the economy to terrorism and their only victories can be chalked up to dumb luck and dumb luck alone – Janet Imcompatano is the the Inspector Clouseau of America. She manages to do everything wrong and by shear luck caught her man. Now Obama sends the minions out to tout a great victory over terrorism as they claim they are not lucky, they’re good. Oh please!

I swear when I heard that I fell out laughing.
