Obama will try to blame anyone he can other than himself-- Hillary or Bush will be his favorites.
(Bush is to blame for Gitmo inmates who were released if they are part of this plot as it now seems to be the case, but it is callow for Obama to hide behind Bush a year in!)
Here is link to latest blame game:

The Americans could have revoked Mr. Abdulmutallab’s visa, but they chose not to. Some 1,700 visas have been revoked since the Sept. 11 attacks on grounds of suspected terrorist connections, State Department officials said, but that step is almost always taken only after a review by counterterrorism officials in Washington.

Still, on Nov. 20, based on the father’s meeting, embassy officials wrote a cable called a Visas Viper — government jargon for a warning about terrorism — and sent it to the counterterrorism center.

The cable referred to the father’s statement that his son had fallen under “the influence of religious extremists based in Yemen,” an American official said.

That cable was sent to C.I.A. headquarters in Langley, Va., but not disseminated to other intelligence agencies, government officials said on Wednesday.

Some officials criticized the C.I.A. for withholding some of the information about Mr. Abdulmutallab, saying it might have prompted a broader investigation into him and possibly would have led to putting him on a watch list.

It looks like State sent a warning but CIA didn't heed or follow up.

Homeland Security STILL had enough with out watchllist to trigger a hard look at boarding.

Even if he had not been placed on that list, American authorities had one final chance to intercede. Before a plane can take off for the United States, details on every passenger are forwarded electronically to the Department of Homeland Security. There is also an electronic summary of each passenger’s airline reservation — which in Mr. Abdulmutallab’s case would most likely have included the fact that his ticket had been bought with cash and that he had not checked any bags.

The Homeland Security Department, with this information, can request that a passenger like Mr. Abdulmutallab get extra scrutiny by airport officials before the plane takes off. But no action was taken, as department officials said they had no reason to believe he presented a threat.

So let's see: a Nigerian male youth with a visa stamped Yemen, and no luggage on an international flight and a cash ticket shows up, but he sashays right onto the plane without even a closer look? That is ALL Homeland Security. I agree with this post, in that Obama picked Janet based for politcal payback and not because of her credentials. I also agree with another comment that said Obama is not payng enough attention to keeping Americans safe. I am also suspecting the Obama is heading a policy of no profiling. Hello? Grandma pat downs at billions per year? Yes we NEED to profile! Maybe we can get the Criminal Minds tv show writers a job at homeland security!

I think what Napolitano said in regard to "the system works" was a costly amateur mistake. As well as POTUS's delayed response given in his "hanging out at the country club" casual dress attire. Such things make us look on the international front as if we our clueless, as if we do not have fortitude or direction. This is very dangerous.

Now in regard to fault, whose fault this is, I don't know enough about the workings of our government positions to understand who and how many people messed this one up. Is the state department at fault here, too? And if so, would that mean that Hillary is responsible in anyway?

Love Hillary, voted for her but I believe in being fearless when it comes to analyzing our politicians - both the politicians we dislike as well the politicians we support. Wish the Obots could do the same!

So what is Hillary's role (if any) in all of this?

And then of course with Obama, our PREZ, the buck stops with him.... It is becoming clearer each day that Obama is not qualified! So obvious to many of us during the election but now we are all paying the price. And what a big price it will be.
