He told them he came to the country specifically to commit violent Jihad "for the sake of God."
Thanks for nothing, McCain and Bush.

DALLAS - Dallas FBI agents arrested a Jordanian citizen Thursday afternoon for attempting to bomb a skyscraper in Downtown Dallas.
According to the bureau, 19-year-old Mosam Maher Husein Smadi was arrested and charged for attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Smadi had been under continuous FBI surveillance and was arrested after he allegedly placed and tried to detonate an inactive car bomb near Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue, the FBI said.
But wait a minute. I thought Obama has reached out to Muslims and all that crap. Why would they want to attack us?
He’s reaching out to enemies who wanna blow up American city buildings. Obama has only served to embolden the terrorists, whereas Reagan and Dubya only instilled fear in them.
Great! I get ready to move to the DFW area and pesky terrorists start to show up. LOL.
Is it me or are we starting to see muslim terrorist attacks popping up everywhere on our own soil again? Wonder why.

Allegedly?
Either he did or he didn’t in this case.
This just in..... Husen Smadi and Hussein Obama to share a beer at the White House and work out their differences.
perp pic?
Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the domestic explosive market is becoming like MySpace for pedophiles - every kid on MySpace is a cop, and everybody selling explosives on the black market is a fed.
Just my feeling...it seems like they’re doing good work in this area.
and the media is ‘worried’ about conservatives and call us a threat.
Since love and fear can hardly exist together, if we must choose between them, it is far safer to be feared than loved.
Niccolo Machiavelli, "The Prince"
The only "differences" they have are in tactics.
Just one more illegal alien stepping up to do the job U.S. Citizens won’t do. Thanks Barry! Thanks Juan!

Maybe. This particular guy doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer.
The VBIED (Vehicle-Born Improvised Explosive Device) apparently was supplied by the undercover FBI agents that were pretending to be a "sleeper cell".
The guy was reportedly making online pronouncements about conducting terrorist attacks, and the FBI reeled him in like a fish on a hook.
I have family that live in a high end city in a US state and all of their neighbors are from Jordon. The neighbors rarely leave the house, they have sports cars and live high end and the women say they will all leave soon. Then I saw a news article in the same city of a Jordanian who stole billions from many US banks as a line of credit con and he disappeared.
Financial and physical destruction?
No one will say anything because it is profiling.
State controlled American media (SCAM) Headline?
"Hurt poor guy's self esteem."
Att. Gen. Holder: FBI Went Too Far
"Possible criminal indictments," says DoJ. "Gotta stop torturing suspects."
Can we make sure that Mosam Maher Husein gets his immigration status updated to legal so he can get his right to health care?
Praise Obama!

Thank God he was stopped.
We knew it was all only a matter of time. Thank God for the brave men and women who fight against these people on our own streets EVERY DAY — May God bless and protect all who serve good!
0bama will be on retainer and have it as a memo at the WH web page soon.
3 different plots come to light in 2 days time. The next thing obama will try to do is hush these things up.
How about you take that and shove it where the sun don't shine. :-)
So you must be a big believer in Obama, huh? You like having him defending the country now instead of your hated Bush and company?
How about, instead, we give some kudos to the FBI agents that worked this case and got one of the bad guys before they could do any real damage. Lives were saved today. This is a good thing.
Get him an attorney! Read him his rights! Apologize!
Oh, the FBI was ahead of this guy alright...all of 19 years old...I think the Feds were the ones that furnished the vehicle, and even packed it with phony explosives for this guy no less....After the Feds read this guys public rants on the internet...
Not what you'd consider highly trained, terrorist operative.
I used to have an office on the 27th floor of this building.
Or at very least issue this guy, and the country of Jordan, an appology.
First it states:
Undercover agents posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell were introduced to him
Then:
The agents meeting with Smadi said they tried to discourage him from violence on several occasions, the release states.
Why would members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell attempt to talk this "terrorist" out of using violence?
And then supply him with a supposed bomb and a vehicle?
The feds that set up this undercover skit with this moron, must have gagged when that happens.
And what does this say about the local law enforcement...They pull over a guy, a Muslim in the country illegally, who is broadcasting on the Internet that he wants to kill Americans, and they give him a ticket for no license and no insurance....lol...that is sad.
I could just see the feds conducting surveillance on this idiot, seeing the local sheriff arrest him for this minor crap, and the Feds run down to the jail, demanding they release Bozo immediately, because the local sheriff is blowing their concocted terrorist bomb plans.
Yep
Don’t assume the guy is stupid just because the FBI was able to deceive him.
NEVER underestimate the brilliance of the enemy.
They brought down the World Trade Center with box knives.
They are NOT stupid people.
They had one shot to seriously cripple us and they blew it. Those are the actions of punk thugs not a brilliant enemy.
I couldn’t agree more.
I think the FBI “acted stupidly” in this case. As was true in the Gates affair, the forces of the law inappropriately “profiled” an innocent “person of color.”
“Why would members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell attempt to talk this “terrorist” out of using violence?”
To demonstrate later in court, that they *did not* encourage him to do something that he actually did not want to do, avoiding an entrapment defense. Fine work on their part. Now they can prove that the act was completely his desire.
“because the local sheriff is blowing their concocted terrorist bomb plans.”
The FBI didn’t “concoct” this. A guy was advertising his Jihad plans. Their operation merely proved he was seriously intending to do what he said and not just a loud mouth. When he pressed the button on what he thought was a car bomb, the FBI saved Texan lives. Had they not done what they did, he would have eventually found a real bomb from someone besides the FBI, or bought a gun and walked into a mall, etc,,,
If a terrorist is under surveillance, and gets locked up for drivers license and insurance ticket, i HOPE the feds spring him, AND keep following him. Maybe he will lead them to others like him.
Except using *that* many teams, all over the country, at numerous airports,,*vastly* increases the chances that the plan gets compromised. They arent stupid. And 9/11 cost us more money than we will know. The DOW dropped 25%, and except for radiation, NYC might as well have had a tiny tactical nuke dropped on lower Manhattan.
To demonstrate later in court, that they *did not* encourage him to do something that he actually did not want to do, avoiding an entrapment defense. Fine work on their part. Now they can prove that the act was completely his desire.
That don't fly here friend.
We're not talking about the housewife that had never been in trouble, that suddenly wanted her husband killed for whatever.
Were talking about alleged members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell, you know, people that kill babies and blow innocent people up by the hundreds....lol.
Are you suggesting the suspect was so stupid, he actually believed al-Qaida sleeper cells wanted him to avoid violence?
Their training camps are a waste of time, effort and money. They attract attention and provide a way of gathering intel on them and locating them, their sponsors and their money sources. They can't possibly win in any battlefield situation outside of the odd circumstance. Our ROEs are their biggest advantage.
If they had hit us the way I described, and been quietly invisible within their own societies (and ours), they could have followed up with a different strategy. One that had been pre-planned and employed shortly thereafter.
I would give the Crips or MS-13 gangs more credit for intelligent strategy and deployment.
Oh sure...lol it was the 19 year old and his grand plan...This is the same guy that was announcing his grand killing plans on the Internet right?
Tell me, what kind of terrorist advertises his plans on the Internet?
My hunch is I think they found themselves a mental case, and the Feds went with it.... In fact, this guy was so easy, the "terrorist cell" offered him an out by not committing "violent" acts...And this fool was too stupid to figure out that terrorist aren't into non-violence....lol
Too funny!
Any jihadist worthy of 72 virgins would not have detonated via cell phone.
No. They were discovered after they were airborne and nobody put the pieces together, no one stopped them. Having separate cells there was nothing to connect one team to another, no time to and no time to find the "missing" planes. If they had had crews on every plane in the air at that one time in the morning most would have succeeded. It would have just increased the confusion.
And 9/11 cost us more money than we will know.
What makes you think I am any less aware of how much it cost than you are? I know it cost us immensely. My point was that similar strikes in every other major U.S. city would have increased that cost exponentially and irrecoverably.
It also would have destroyed confidence in our government instead of unifying it. Congress would have reflected that by breaking down into squabbling groups. Not right vs left groups but groups of hawks, groups of appeasement weenies and groups of "let's calm down and assess this" weenies. Those groups would have manifested in both the Dem and Republican Parties and no decisions would have been possible. Public confidence would then drop even further. The President would have been neutered by a Congress and country in emotional chaos.
They had one shot, they were stupid not to try it. Praise be that Muslims are morons.
I can hear the al-Qaida terrorist cell now, "Are you sure you wouldn't rather have a bake sale instead of blowing up the building to make your point?"
That sounds credible..
