The determination must be design. The safety of the nation is at stake. How you going to prosecute stupidity?

What I would like to know is what excuse will Barry, and his incompetents, use if Hell-qaeda does bring down a plane. Listen, we will never be told Hell-qaeda brought the plane down. The excuse will be “pilot error”, “mechanical failure”, “geese”, “swans”, “empty fuel tanks”, “over loaded”, “wind sheer,” oh man, the list is endless. If the “panty bomber” would have succeeded, we would have never known it was terror related. I guarantee you and the main reason……… Too difficult to blame Bush.

“Our enemies understand full well they have nothing to fear from America in the coming year. Happy New Year! “

It is clear that Obama needs another “crisis”

“A crisis is a terrible thing to wasre”

Barry’s not ready for a “crises”. He needs “BarryCare” to pass first. Then a, well planned out, crises to take our minds off “BarryCare.”

There is no earthly excuse why this punk was allowed to fly in here.

He couldn’t fly into Heathrow(would have been arrested on the spot).

He couldn’t fly to Paris

He couldn’t fly to Sydney

or Rome.

Just here........

The answer is obvious to anyone who saw "Animal House"; Double Secret Probation.

“...thanks to the ever more demanding choreographers of the homeland-security kabuki, it’s two, three, four, whatever. Look at O’Hare and imagine the size of airport we’ll need. And by then the Pantybomber won’t even need to get on the plane; he can kill more people blowing up the check-in line.”

This part has worried me since 9/11. Rather than screening the passengers BEFORE they get to the airport, we are stacking them up there, creating a juicy target indeed.

Let’s remember that the primary purpose of terrorism is to get media publicity. Attacking an airport would create much more bloodshed, be much more camera-worthy and would be much more accessible to the media than some remote wreckage site.

I never had a fear of flying, but have been becoming increasingly anxious while at airports.

TSA worker assaults newsman.mpg

http://www.youtube.com/user/crimefile

“On Dec 31 while at Terminal 2 of the Los Angeles Internationa Airport a TSA worker assaulted me while I was shooting some videotape on a public sidewalk. She is the star of this video but I have not named her on purpose. Maybe it’s time the TSA wokers learn thir job is not to aggravate paying passengers but to observe and report acts of terror. Had it been a White TSA worker against a black man this would be settled in the Whitehouse Rosegarden at a “BEER SUMMIT”. The LAX police did a fine job of investigation as expected.”

This is more brilliant Steyn.

Funny and frightening at the same time.

Thanks for the post, goldstategop.

And may the Lord protect us from the incompetant Marxist autocrat in the White House.

The earthly excuse is that he had a brother in the White House who condones his anti-American terrorism.

“The real message was conveyed by Fouad Ajami, discussing the new administration’s foreign policy in the Wall Street Journal: “No despot fears Mr. Obama, and no blogger in Cairo or Damascus or Tehran, no demonstrator in those cruel Iranian streets, expects Mr. Obama to ride to the rescue.” True. Another Iranian deadline passed on New Year’s Eve, but the United States will set a new one for Groundhog Day or whenever.

And, just as the thug states understand they now have the run of the planet, so do the terror cells. A thwarted terror attack at Christmas is bad enough. Spending the following week making yourself a global joke is worse. Every A-list despot and dimestore jihadist got that message loud and clear — and so did American allies already feeling semi-abandoned by this most parochial of presidents. Expect a bumpy twelve months ahead. Happy New Year.”

bump & a ping

It could be a Happy New Year if the moderates and independents who vote reliably for rats finally realize that their votes have enabled this gross incompetence and corruption.
