White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough made the talk show rounds on Sunday in defense of the failed policies of the Obama regime. He was asked by Bob Schieffer of “Face The Nation” how the Obama comments that we have not curtailed our joint counter-terrorism efforts with Yemen could possibly be a true statement when the government we were partnered with has been run out of power.
McDonough is not on the program to provide answers, but to talk in circles and deflect responsibility, as he proceeds to demonstrate. He replies with an ambiguous “Important counter-terrorism efforts continue, there’s no doubt about that and we will continue to press that.” Whether he meant he would press the talking point or the efforts wasn’t clear but it was odd language to use if he meant the actual events against the Islamic terrorists in Yemen.
He follows that up by saying that the regime “Will also continue to make sure that we have the intelligence that we need to see threats as they manifest.” He’s either stating that they saw the threat and didn’t respond or saw the threat and responded inadequately. He used the word “continue,” so he’s stating that the intelligence to know what was taking place was there. The next question from Schieffer should be, if you knew it was happening, why didn’t you do something to prevent it? McDonough is filibustering and the ever-polite Mr. Schieffer can’t bring himself to interrupt.
