Liz Cheney Responds to Obama's Comment on Terror Attacks

According to the Washington Post, Barack Obama is quoted by Bob Woodward as saying, "We can absorb a terrorist attack." Keep America Safe's Liz Cheney responds to the president's remark with this statement:

Americans expect our President to do everything possible to defend the nation from attack.  We expect him to use every tool at his disposal to find, defeat, capture and kill terrorists.  We expect him to deter attacks by making clear to our adversaries that an attack on the United States will carry devastating consequences. Instead, President Obama is reported to have said,  ‘We can absorb a terrorist attack.’ This comment suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of President Obama and his administration. Once again the President seems either unwilling or unable to do what it takes to keep this nation safe.  The President owes the American people an explanation.
