Liz Cheney Blasts Juan Williams On "Incompetence" of Obama Administration (Video)
Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, February 14, 2010, 10:42 AM
“There’s a level of incompetence that we’re seeing from people like Brennan and others that scares the American people.”
Liz Cheney repeatedly pointed out the “incompetence” of the Obama Administration’s war against man-caused disasters. Cheney was on FOX News Sunday this weekend. She let Juan Williams have it, too.
Like her father, Liz has become an effective critic of the Obama Administration’s strange and dangerous security positions.

Man-caused disasters
That’s a term that makes me shake my head whenever I hear it.
What kind of idiot comes forth with such a terminology? How stupid does one have to be? No really, how dumb are these people?
And how dumb are the people who vote for such dumb people?
Remember Star Wars “A New Hope”?
Who’s the bigger fool? The fool? Or the fool who follows?

I have to say I like Cheney’s daughter a lot better than McCain’s, “Cause like, revolutions, like, start with young people, not; like, 65 year olds – psssh.”

It’s not over until it’s over
[According to John Brennan, head of the White House's homeland security office, the war on terrorism is over. From now on, the administration will never use terms like "jihadists" and "global war" because doing so, as Mr. Brennan said, "risks giving these murderers the religious legitimacy they desperately seek but in no way deserve." He insisted that the U.S. is at "war with al Qaeda" ("U.S. no longer at war with 'terrorism' ," Page 1, Friday).
Could we be more blind? Acts of terror are rooted in the aspirations
of Islamists to create an Islamic state and impose their version of Shariah law.]

Man-caused disasters is politically insensitive. It should be “Human-caused disaster.”

Bush Was Right, Says Obama
[This weekend, Americans were treated to something new: Barack
Obama defending his war policies by suggesting they merely continue
his predecessor's practices. The defense is illuminating, not least for its implicit recognition that George W. Bush has more credibility on fighting terrorists than does the sitting president.
[..]
Leave aside, for just a moment, the substance. Far more arresting is that Mr. Obama now defends himself by invoking a man he has spent the past year blaming for al Qaeda’s growth. You know—all those Niebuhrian speeches about how America had gone “off course,” “shown arrogance and been dismissive,” and “made decisions based on fear rather than foresight,” thus handing al Qaeda a valuable recruiting tool.
[..]
Like Mr. Obama, Mr. Brennan was singing a different tune this weekend. On NBC’s “Meet the Press,” a testy Mr. Brennan defended the decision that allowed Christmas bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to lawyer up by invoking—you guessed it—the Bush administration. Mr. Brennan claimed the process for reading Abdulmutallab his Miranda rights was “the same process that we have used for every other terrorist who has been captured on our soil.” The FBI, he asserted, was simply following guidelines put in place by Bush Attorney General Michael Mukasey.
Mr. Mukasey begs to differ. “First, the guidelines Mr. Brennan refers to involve intelligence gathering,” he told me. “They do not deal with whether someone in custody is to be treated as a criminal defendant or as an intelligence asset.”
“Second, as for gathering intelligence, it begs the whole question about whether he [Abdulmutallab] should have been designated a criminal suspect. And there is nothing—zero, zilch, nada—in those guidelines that makes that choice. It is a decision that ought to be made at the highest level, and the heads of our security agencies have testified that it was made without consulting them.”
Ditto for the “190 folks” Mr. Obama invoked in his interview with Ms. Couric. The figure comes from a report by Human Rights First (they actually claim 195), which ransacked the federal files to find any cases even remotely connected with terrorism. Most charges, the report concedes, involve not acts of terrorism but charges of material support. These 190 men and women may be guilty of bad things, but to suggest they are comparable with KSM is highly misleading.]

Juan Williams is a total tool. His attempts to spin the incompetence of the WH and BHO are laughable. The remarks that come out of his mouth just make my jaw drop. How can someone be that foolish, and does he actually believe what he says?
Robb76 commented:
I don’t think Williams believes it as much as he wants it to be true. Same difference when all is said and done.
Patrick in Des Moines commented:
I am a big fan of the continued use of the word “Incompetence.”
I think it will stick.
roperdon commented:
Liz is a remarkable thinker and speaker as is her father. I hope she is given more opportunity to deliver the messages to the public. bravo, liz!
xiphos commented:
It’s been said before …………
The most recent “man caused disaster” sits in OUR White House.
Mark commented:
Obama is an idiot. The Chimp in Chief is a joke.

Juan the waterboy.
red commented:
I wonder what Juan would say if Liz asked him which city he thinks we will lose to the next “Man Caused Disaster”?
Insufficiently Sensitive commented:
The nicest thing of the whole interview was that the leftist tactic of shouting down the development of an opponent’s idea (Juan Williams’s counterattack of interruption) was, for once, snuffed by the moderator. Williams is welcome to make his own points – but not over the top of Cheney’s. He obviously took fright that the public would hear some inconvenient facts, and attempted to smother them.
rebekah commented:
As much as I appreciate Ms. Cheney as a commentator I pray she runs for public office.
We need people like her, who have to true grasp of what is and isn’t important at the federal level, to run this country.

Juan Williams is like O’Reilly, they can’t see past the darker skin. I hesitate to say African American, because I, and really no one, can prove what his real heritage is. They like a skin color, it could be Hitler underneath, and they’d still tell themselves, he is a wonderful human being.
They are in “racial denial.” In O’Reilly’s case he is full of, “white guilt.” He seems to think it makes him appear somehow noble to support Obama. Someone told me last week that someone on O’Reilly told Bill, Obama was classless, and his reply was, “have you seen his suit?” I was dumbfounded, since when does the suit you wear, give you class? You either have it or don’t. It’s your demeanor, the way you treat others, it has nothing to do with a suit. It just goes to prove my opinion of Ivy league schools like Harvard, the graduates, are a dime a dozen.

I, for one, like Juan Williams. I wish the entire exchange was on the video.

What a Republican ticket for 2012: Jim DeMint & Liz Cheney!
Now THAT would restore Republican values.

Better Palin/Cheney or Cheney/Palin. If that doesent send our leftish bretheren screaming for the hills, nothing will.
rrpjr commented:
We need far more clear, crisp, dispassionately savage conservatives like Liz Cheney. Sadly, I can’t think of another like her in Congress.
Yes, and keep repeating “incompetence”, along with “corruption.”
Scott commented:
Williams is lucky he is pet stooge at Fox for now…I think he might have a tough time feeding himself otherwise…Cheney was great!

The most determined, articulate critics of this administration appear to be mainly female.

I suspect williams styles himself a “commentator” or some such, but “collaborator-apologist” would be far more accurate.

The remark about the suit was sarcasm; and it was in the conversation with Jon Stewart. Stewart called GIBBS “classless”, and Bill O sarcastically made the suit remark (and his suits may be the only thing about gibbs with any class at all).

Jaun William is on the Govement pay roll,pubic rabio.
Scott Jerome commented:
I’ve been watching FNS for a few years now, and I like Juan. I just think he is profoundly wrong on a number of issues. But it’s going to be interesting to witness what happens when poor Juan can no longer defend Obama or his other Democratic friends in power.
It seems to me that we have to be very, very close to a tipping point now. There are just too many indefensible blunders that are being committed on a daily basis by this clown posse.
Estragon commented:
It’s not a racial thing with Juan Williams; it’s a liberal thing. He was pretty critical of Obama up until a couple of months ago, when the tide against the petty, pissy, prissy, prancing, preening peacock of a President passed the tipping point. Then he realized that the very foundations of leftist ideology were being questioned, and he is being paid to represent those views for Fox’ “balance” and NPR’s imbalance, so he had better start defending the indefensible.
Hey, the man has a job, a hard enough achievement under this Administration. Let him keep it . . .

9/11 Commission Vice Chair Lee Hamilton: Obama, Other Leaders,
Too Complacent About Protecting Nation From Terrorism
[“I just think what’s pervasive through the country, and has been now for a number of years, is the complacency, an inertia, a business-as-usual attitude ... that I think is harmful,” former 9/11 Commission Vice Chair Lee Hamilton told ABC News. This, he says, includes the entire political leadership of the United States -- President Obama, leaders of Congress and the “many, many people that have had a part in Homeland Security.”
“You can’t put all the responsibility on the president, but obviously he shares a major part of it,” said Hamilton, a former Democratic congressman. "His speech yesterday suggested he's going to bear down
on this, I hope that's the case."
Hamilton spoke to us for the Political Punch Podcast,
which you can listen to HERE or download it on iTunes.
[..]
Hamilton said he and others on the 9/11 Commission are frustrated that even though progress has been made, the U.S. government — at all levels — has yet to act with a sense of urgency and make homeland security a top priority.
“It’s a matter of very great frustration to us that we have not sufficiently got our act together in this country that we could prevent that threat, even from developing, so I had a high degree of frustration, even discouragement,” Hamilton said.
[..]
Hamilton said one of his “very great frustrations is we still do not have the detection equipment we need. Everybody passes through the monitors on the way to the airport. Those monitors are set up to catch metal objects. Well, the terrorists have figured that out a long, long time ago. Do you still need to do that? Of course you do. But you must have detection equipment that can spot these explosives that don’t register on a metal detector. Why haven’t we had it? We’ve been working on it, spending money on it, still don’t have it.”
When asked if it makes sense for everyone on the terrorist watch databases to be automatically subjected to additional screening, Hamilton said “it would seem to be they ought to be.”]
