He Keeps Missing The Target

Is there anybody out there who DOESN'T have the queasy feeling that this Regime's counter-man-caused-disaster capabilities bear more than a passing resemblance to Russian roulette?:

"At this point we, I think, would agree with the British that it looks as though they were designed to be detonated in flight," said the adviser, John Brennan, speaking Sunday on the CBS program Face the Nation.

The assessment, combined with the revelation that one of the packages traveled on passenger flights in the Middle East, underlined just how narrowly authorities had averted a potential catastrophe. It also raised puzzling questions about why the packages, which contained bombs skillfully packed inside modified printer cartridges, were addressed to two synagogues in Chicago, a potential warning flag given that the packages originated in Yemen.

...The devices employed cellphone technology, but it remains unclear why they were built that way. Among the questions authorities are asking: How and when, during a transatlantic passage, would the cellphone components have been in range to receive a signal?

"There are a whole lot of theories being kicked around about whether [they were set] on a timer, whether somebody was going to call, or another triggering mechanism would set them off," the counterterrorism official said.

A curious thing to admit now, after Cap'n Open Hand confidently strode forth last Friday to declare that the al Qaeda Special Deliveries were meant for ground targets, and that his crew knew what was going on long before this and that everything was under control.  The truth, once again, is that this bunch never saw the attack coming, can't even figure it out after the fact (the Saudis did, using [heh] intel "extracted" from a former Gitmo inmate), and we only averted a "potential catastrophe" through sheer blind luck.

Again.

Day-glo obvious exit question: How many strikes at the plate do we get before "striking out"?  'cause this would make number four.
