The Rich Jihadi Proved Western Anti-Terror Measures Don't Work

The horrendous sight of another Western airline crashing over the US on Christmas Day 2009 was averted by a fluke and the resourcefulness of passengers and cabin crew - not by the anti-terror agencies' high-tech gadgets, vast budgets and airport security measures.

Six months ago, Umar Faroul Abdulmuttallab's father warned the US Embassy in Lagos of his 23-year old son's alarming extremist Muslim activities. Yet he was granted a US visa. On Dec. 25, he sailed through Schiphol international airport with 80 grams of PETN (pentaervthritol) high explosive and liquid detonators in his underpants after landing from Lagos and caught the Northwest Flight 253 from Amsterdam to Detroit.

This may be Debka, but they tell it like it is, instead of the way the MSM is trying to whitewash the colossal intelligence and security failure of letting a KNOWN terrorist onto a plane.

I hope the gutless, spineless, brainless, witless RNC actually grows some guts, some spine, some brains and some wit in time for the 2010 elections and actually USES this incident to make 2 important political points:

1. The HUGE bureaucratic failure

2. The HUGE media coverup

Are you ready, RNC? Are you ready to GROW A PAIR????

Debka is often more wrong than right. But what Al Qaeda is seeking is to cripple the US' ability to conduct trade across the Atlantic. And they're willing to persist until they shut down the US economy.

What wins here is the most basic of Western ideals—the power of the individual.

In what appears to be a remarkable act of bravery, Jasper Schuringa completely rejected groupthink and political correctness as he jumped and subdued the terrorist.

Terrorism doesn’t stand a chance against Western individualism.

This is not my idea—it has been around for many centuries.

And no liberal, moderate or other type of globalist has the ability to refute it.

Why he chose to martyr himself as a terrorist defied most Western pundits, showing that very little has been learned from the way al Qaeda evolved from 1987, when Osama bin Laden debuted in the Pakistani town of Peshawar as leader of an organization no one had ever heard of called al Qaeda, despite a background very much like that of the young Nigerian. He too belonged to one of the wealthiest families in Saudi Arabia and opted for the life of an extremist terrorist.

When people get religion they have to answer the question "What does it profit me to gain the whole world but suffer the loss of my eternal life by offending God."
In the case of a Muslim to gain favor with God, it is to subjugate, convert or kill all people who do not believe "there is only one God, and Muhammed is his Prophet."
Voluntarily giving up your worldy life to fight Infidels is a faster way to gain favor with Allah.-Other so-called Muslims who sit on their hands or collaborate with Infidels are also fair game as they like the Infidel are not liked by Allah. - Tom

You bunch of fear-mongers! Secretary Janet Napolitano told us the system worked as designed! You right wing, Bible-and-gun clutching haters just cannot admit when the Obamassiah and his disciples are correct!

I am with you brother. Every time they call me for money, i remind them they made no effort to help local office seekers and until they grow a pair, they get no money from me. All they ever did was come in and raid the local coffers without giving a cent or minute of their time helping local pubbies.

Noted the sarc/ in small type, well done and well said. Bunch of self-deluding idiots forgot the murderer got on the plane in the first place or are just ignoring it and it wasn’t a federal agent that got the job done. Thanks for the wit.
