Dammit, Faisalo, in Pakistan, we told you not to use cash to buy a one way plane ticket back home. You have to blame Bush for causing you to lose your home and causing temporary insanity. Now, you will have to wait until my second term to become my Director of Homeland Security.

I wonder if it might not be a case (deliberate or not) where after a few of these failed bomb attempts, the gov comes out and says we need to relax the DHS focus on terrorists, because they just aren’t competent enough to be successful.

What other bombers of the future did Obama take off that list after he got control?? If there is any question about Obama taking overt action that has made us less secure (thanwe were under Bush), this is the proof.

“Yeah, something whacky, like the Dow Jones dropping almost a thousand points. But that would never happen.”

Not possible. Too many companies would have to be complicit. Only way you could do it would be a “computer glitch” or something.

This sounds like he was a mole working for the U.S. government.

My "tin foil" theory that Obama wanted to use this bombing attack as an event to blame on the right just got one small step closer to reality. Reichtag fire indeed...

Now we see why this has been played down so much in the media. Obama and Napalitano are ass-deep in this debacle.

Are you serious?

Ever heard the expression The Buck stops here?"

Now it is, "No freaking bucks allowed within 500 miles of this desk!"

The one constant about this criminal regime is that I have yet to hear of a single criminal member who has been forced to account for crime or uncredible incompetence.

Would it be too much to ask exactly who made the decision to remove a known terrorist from the watch lists?

As a real life scam artist said, when caught, on surveillance tape, "All you can get me for is incompetence, and that's not a felony!"
Not holding my breath.

I WOULD have thunk that now that we have a Muslim in the White House, these Jihadists would slow down.

The failed attacks may desensitize the public just a little bit to a succesful attack. And when one is succesful, no-one will ‘question the timing’.

What a disaster, we really need a competency test for voting. November can’t come fast enough.

No surprises here since Devout Muslims were appointed key positions in Homeland Security late last year:

http://www.jihadwatch.org/2009/11/obama-adminstration-appoints-muslims-to-key-homeland-security-posts——but-theyre-moderates-arent-th.html

Jihad Watch Obama adminstration appoints Muslims to key Homeland Security posts — but... they’re “moderates,” aren’t they?

The track record of the two appointees, taken together with the administration’s own ability to distinguish “moderates” from “extremists” inspires anything but confidence. After all, the Fort Hood jihadist was himself a member of a panel advising the incoming Obama administration.

At the heart of this issue are the politically correct articles of faith that few dare blaspheme, which insist that there is nothing problematic about Islam’s core texts and teachings regarding warfare and the rights of women and unbelievers, and that there exists a well-defined “moderate” Islam that the West can work with. The problem is, no one ever stops to define “moderate,” for fear that articulating actual standards may cause offense.

“Devout Muslims In Key Homeland Security Posts,” by Judicialwatch via Right Side News, November 22:

Days after a devout Muslim terrorized a U.S. Army base in Texas several news reports remind that two key Homeland Security posts are occupied by equally devout Muslims, one of them a former Los Angeles deputy mayor who eliminated a crucial program that tracked terrorist activities in the city.

Earlier this year President Obama appointed Arif Alikhan to be the nation’s Assistant Secretary for Policy Development at the Department of Homeland Security and Kareem Shora to the agency’s influential advisory council, which provides recommendations and advice directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security.

Alikhan, who leads a Homeland Security team responsible for developing policy issues to secure the country against terrorism, has referred to the renowned terrorist organization Hezbollah as a “liberation movement” and was responsible for killing a Los Angeles Police project that monitored terrorist activities in the city’s notoriously radical mosques. The defunct Muslim terror tracking plan was designed to identify hotbeds of extremism in an area where several locals offered the September 11 hijackers support.

Shora was the head of a well-known Arab organization whose officials refer to anti-U.S. jihadists as heroes. As executive director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC), Shora had close ties to radical Ivy League professor Rashid Khalidi, a Palestinian terror supporter who has reportedly worked on behalf of the extremist Palestine Liberation Organization....

Just wait for the congressional hearings. I hope the repugs don’t cave next year. If we get more of the same, we’re done. They’d better realize, we’re pissed and they better bring it on full force. Investigate them all. Every single one of these commies. If they won’t play hard ball, we the people will. We’re patently waiting, they have SIX MONTHS, this is not a warning, this is a FACT. After November, we’ll see what’s next. These repubs better grow a pair between now and then.
