re: #544 keithgabryelski

He is trolling this forum.

He basically said “any attack on U.S. soil on or before Sept. 11 of the year a president is inaugurated is the fault of the previous president — anything after that, is the fault of the current president”.

He should be ignored.

And if you do so, you miss the point he’s making, which is that creating an arbitrary deadline date for responsibility for a President for any terror attacks that occur is an absurd and pointless and fundamentally dishonest thing to do, as NO President is responsible for terrorist attacks, and no President can be held to account for failures in the intelligence and national security apparatus, which exists independently of administrations and operates continuously in the background on time-cycles unrelated to elections and electoral politics. He’s pointing out the absurdity of it by stating the position directly, baldly, and in deadpan.
