Obama, U.S. Gov't Downplay Jihadist Threat in Failed NYC Bombing

Once again, the Obama Administration and the U.S. Government are downplaying the danger inherent in the Jihadist threat encapsulated in the failed NYC bombing last night.

Although early indications from NYC, FBI, and Homeland Security point to the possibility of a terrorist attack by a Muslim in retaliation against the TV show South Park's negative portrayal of 'the prophet' Muhammad, so far the government and the media in general have all but dismissed this key component of the failed attack and have even suggested that panic in the wake of the bomb threat was 'overkill.'

It is clearly not overkill for the multi-thousands in the area to panic at the thought of a bomb exploding in one of the busiest tourist areas of the world, Times Square in NYC, particularly when bomb experts have stated that had the blast been successful it would injured and killed multi-thousands and demolished numerous buildings in the area, including crowded theaters, restaurants, and other popular attractions.

Yet the New York City Police Department reportedly told Homeland Security to 'stand down' and that 'there was no indication of this being a terrorist attack.'

When Obama won the election, I strongly felt that because of his connections to known terrorists like Bill Ayres, he would never admit that any attempted or successful terrorist attack would be planned and perpetrated by Muslim terrorists, so it wouldn’t surprise me to see some attempt to blame this on the Tea Party or anti-government “right wing extremists.”

Thank you for another good ping!

MSNBC already hung it on right wing extremists.
