Obama tells the Spanish-language television network Univision he doesn’t think it’s fair to say law enforcement “dropped the ball”
The president says “there are going to be times where individuals decide they want to cause harm to people for crazy reasons, for no good reason, for ideological reasons.”
He says it’s a challenge when would-be attackers are “self-radicalizing” and not part of a broad conspiracy. Obama says the FBI “can’t arrest somebody just based on a rumor.”
The first of a series of House hearings is set for Thursday before the GOP-led House Homeland Security Committee.
There are traitors in high government positions who care more about the rights of terrorists than the safety of US citizens. Look at the Justice Dept. rushing in to prevent the suspect from confessing to the FBI.
Wells, we have foxes guarding the hen-house.We have Arabs & Muslims in key security positions in ICE, Dept. of Homeland security, and Airport security letting in all the terrorists. And our government,FBI,CIA doesn’t have the guts to keep us safe for fear of discrimination/racial profiling.
Exactly, continue searching kids at airports but not anyone that fits in the profile of a terrorist.
It’s also not about arresting anyone based on rumors but at least check it out. There is a reason why there was a rumor on that guy and not on me.
