Presidential Spokesgullet Robert Gibbs said last week that the near-miss in Times Square did not represent a "systemic failure", but I would argue that the government's response was indeed just that. I would even go a step further. I would argue that the government's failure to actually stop Shahzad's attempt to detonate a Vehicle-Borne-IED in Times Square also exemplifies just how dangerous the entire Progressive approach to terrorism is. Let's not forget, this incident did not occur in a vacuum.
