CBS News is reporting the Pakistani-American allegedly tied by forensic evidence to the Times Square bombing attempt last Saturday is "familiar" to the Obama administration:
A source told CBS News that investigators are looking at a possible suspect, a Pakistani American, in the botched car bombing incident near Times Square. The source said forensic evidence uncovered in the vehicle led them to a Middle Eastern mans name that was familiar to counter terrorism investigators.
Fox News reported the Obama administration knows the person of interest recently returned from Pakistan:
Federal authorities have identified a person of interest in Saturday night's Times Square bomb attempt -- a naturalized American citizen who was in Pakistan for several months and returned to the United States recently, investigative sources told Fox News.
...Sources say that evidence includes international phone calls made by the person of interest, who has not been identified publicly.
The Obama administration's familiarity with the person of interest is in keeping with recent failures by the Obama administration to stop terror attacks on American soil by those known to the administration to have suspected ties to overseas Muslim terrorist elements:
A 23-year-old convert to Islam with "political and religious motives" killed a soldier just out of basic training and wounded another in a targeted attack on a military recruiting center in Arkansas, police said.
The suspect, Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, reportedly had been under investigation by an FBI joint terrorism task force after he traveled to Yemen and was arrested there for using a Somali passport. The probe was in its early stages and based on Muhammad's trip to Yemen, according to ABC News.
While there, Muhammad a U.S. citizen from Memphis who is a convert to Islam and was previously known as Carlos Bledsoe studied jihad with an Islamic scholar, Jihadwatch.org reported.
Muhammad told authorities that he approached the recruiting center in Little Rock by car on Monday and started shooting at two soldiers in uniform, according to a police report.
U.S. intelligence agencies were aware months ago that (Fort Hood massacre terrorist) Army Major Nidal Malik Hasan was attempting to make contact with an individual associated with al Qaeda, two American officials briefed on classified material in the case told ABC News.
Washington Post, December 27, 2009:
A Nigerian man charged Saturday with attempting to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day was listed in a U.S. terrorism database last month after his father told State Department officials that he was worried about his son's radical beliefs and extremist connections, officials said.
The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, was added to a catch-all terrorism-related database when his father, a Nigerian banker, reported concerns about his son's "radicalization and associations" to the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, a senior administration official said. Abdulmutallab was not placed on any watch list for flights into the United States, however, because there was "insufficient derogatory information available" to include him, another administration official said.
Is the Times Square bombing attempt another example of the Obama administration's failure to connect the dots and stop yet another terrorist attack on American soil on their watch? So far, the evidence does not look good for Obama and his administration.
.....yeah....and giving the miscreant a couple of days to cover his tracks and dissapear....
Anything but the obvious answer.
See my post 29...I thought it was an unusual word for the situation...
Yeah, how much?
The perp was obviously not concerned about the forensic evidence left in the vehicle because he assumed that the bomb would work. IF the bomb had gone off as planned all the evidence would have been incinerated.
So, the balding white guy, changing from a long sleeved t-shirt to a short sleeved on a warm night (shocking, I know) is off the radar now?
Jeez.......we are in sooooo much trouble with these fools!!!
Or eventually someone is removed from the equation...
During Lemon’s segment on CNN this evening while running the story and tapes of the “white guy”, the question “what do you think of the TEA Parties? xxx-xxx-xxxx” was scrolled along the bottom of the screen.
It’s interesting to watch and read what the Obamabots are taking in as gospel.
It was such a good fit with the statement about Hispanics being harassed when they take their kids out for ice cream with the Rev Al singing a chorus of RACIAL PROFILING in the background.
BTW, has Obama made any statement at all about this?
new = news
WOW!!
To busy chasing Tea Party old ladies...................
We’re approaching “never-never-land”.
We gotta get those damn right wing Pakistani Muslim Tea Party people under control! This is making us look bad.
/s
We are in never-never land.

An archeological team, digging in Washington DC, has uncovered 10,000 year old bones and fossil remains of what is believed to be the first Politician.
Who considers a Pakistani a white man?
Chief Moose?
That “ blame the white guy” moment was pick up by every major news outlet. It was obvious that he was not the perp.
Racial profiling.
So the first action of the American government was
to blame white Americans .. and get a posse of lawyers
to protect the terrorist(s).
America deserves a Darwin Award, but will get worse.
