I haven't bothered to pay enough attention to even notice the detail you are referring to.
Look, terrorists like to use car bombs, right?
al-Qa'ida would love to destroy the White House, and failing that, attack the Capitol, right?
This car tried to aggressively force its way past security and drive right up to the White House.
When it failed to breach the perimeter, it evaded police and made a very high speed beeline directly towards the Capitol.
What exactly were our security services supposed to make of this behavior?
