And he was really upset by the passage of Obamacare.

The Pakistani-American arrested on suspicion of driving a bomb-laden car into New York’s Times Square told U.S. authorities he acted alone,

thats why some guy in pakistan was arrested... they wanted to confirm he acted alone.

At what point will the press be charged with aiding and abetting?

“If I had to guess, twenty five cents, this would be exactly that,” Bloomberg said. “Homegrown maybe a mentally deranged person or someone with a political agenda that doesn’t like the health care bill or something. It could be anything.”

And WE were told not to jump to any conclusions, huh? Guess Bloomberg owes about 300 million Americans an apolegy since HE IS AN IDIOT!!!

Maybe we all need to Freep him and write him telling him so.

Is anyone asking the question, "How did this guy actually make it onto a plane?"

There seems to be AMPLE room for criticism that our own INS & Homeland Security allowed a guy to get past security, and onto a plane - a plane that had already began to taxi to the runway. Wasn't this guy placed on any kind of no-fly list? Isn't there any flagging of passports or credit cards? Are we to believe that a guy who put together a bomb right out of a Wily Coyote cartoon had access to a phony passport, or something?

These are questions that I HOPE will be asked of Eric Holder, Janet Napalitano and Barack Obama.

A relative of mine runs a pet grooming and sitting business and on Saturday a self-described Iranian dropped off his dog for a few days, saying he was leaving for "training", after spouting off about middle east politics and historical issues.

Seemed rather suspicious.

In my considered opinion, the "explosive device" was never intended to explode. It caught fire and generated volumes of white smoke. There were propane cylinders, bags of fertilizer, several plastic gasoline containers, and some M-80 firecrackers.

Propane in a steel cylinder is not going to do anything unless you have enough of a primary explosion to rupture the steel cylinder. This mess wasn't even close. The gasoline would burn not explode and there was probably more gasoline in the SUV's tank then the ten gallons allotted to the "bomb". The eight bags of fertilizer may or may not be an actual explosive. If it's ammonium nitrate it will explode if prepared properly, if it's weed and feed it will not. The thing is, 30% AN is not generally available and is a known explosive component so you just can't waltz into a hardware store and wheel it out to your truck. It also generates a paper trail for the ATF.

I expect the M-80's were supposed to be the "detonator". They are not anywhere close to having enough bresiance to get the job done. Anyone serious about building a bomb would have tested the components (discreetly, in an out of the way place) and uncovered the weak link before blowing $30,000 cash for an SUV loaded with a dud. With "tinted windows", of course.

Detonators are usually the weak link however, terrorists have a work around by preparing acetone peroxide, also know as "Mother of Satan". ATP is a primary explosive with more then enough bresiance to detonate properly prepared AN. It has also sent a number of amateur chemists to their heavenly reward.

The whole deal smells to high heaven and is most likely a put up job. Time will tell who gets blamed for this "amateur hour" production. My bet is Bloomberg's hint of "right wing crazies" is just the beginning.

Regards,
GtG

Can't you just hear the Damn and other expletives in The White House when they first heard? . . What a disappointment. Here they were hoping for a white right wing extremist. . .

The way the title reads, you would think he was arrested because the bomb failed. You would expect that from Reuters, of course.
