    John Brennan told “Fox News Sunday” that they have uncovered no links to cyber attacks in examining the causes of the turbulence that sent Dow Jones industrials plunging almost 1,000 points before staging a partial recovery at the end of the day.

    The market was already weak because of the Greek financial crisis. Beyond that, there was speculation that a typographical error might have triggered the massive computerized sell-off.

    The White House didn’t ‘see’ the Times Square attack emanating from the Pakistani Taliban (as they had claimed). Now they do.

    The real problem is: The White House does not see!

    The White House nowadays is blind (maybe color blind) doesn’t see anything. Way too foggy. The fog is expected to end sometime in November hopefully.

    Just to put the administrations initial analysis in context:two days ago petreaus and napoltino claimed shazad was a lone wolf. Today they r saying that it was a taliban/al-q. attack. They are brainless (intentionally I think)and make that knows by allways jumping to conclusions (fort hood-not terror-shazad-not terror)that are based on gut feeling or based on their intentional campaign of distracting the American public from real threats.

    It probably was the white house themselves who made it crash. With Obama trying to pass new regulatory laws for Wall Street, he wants to show how unstable the current system is. Now they are even saying that it started somewhere in… chicago.
    Just a hunch of mine.
