OBAMBI’S SPIN FACTORY goes haywire.

Of course there was “no single piece of intelligence” that spelled it out. You have to put the pieces together, genius. Anyway, we’re not talking about a 5,000-piece jigsaw puzzle here. This was more like one of those children’s puzzles with four giant pieces that have to be laid out of the floor, and each piece gives you a pretty good idea of what you’re looking at.

I’ve been around the intelligence community long enough to know this response to the administration spin machine is a bit over the top, but the “no system is perfect; we’re doing everything we can; we must learn to live with the inevitability of one of these bombers succeeding” spin doesn’t cut it either.

Nor does it help to close the barn door after the livestock has escaped.
