9/11: Where Barack Obama and Condi Rice Sound Alarmingly Alike

 

...Barack Obama appeared on MSNBC’s Hardball last night and was asked about the way he would handle the 3 a.m. phone call.

 

The transcript:

 

MATTHEWS: Let me give you a scene that may face you in the next year or two, where the national security adviser calls you at 3:00 in the morning and tells that you a couple of jet — commercial jets have been hijacked. And they believe it is al Qaeda. And, as we know, al Qaeda always tries a second time. They tried for the World Trade Center after ‘93. They came back in ‘01.

 

They’re heading for the Capitol. What do you do?

 

OBAMA: Well, look, I am hesitant to engage in hypotheticals like that, because…

 

MATTHEWS: But it has been predictable.

 

OBAMA: Oh, well, the–I don’t think anybody predicted 9/11. And, so, we don’t know what kinds of circumstances are going to come up. ..

 

Sigh.
