Shocking.

A suspect accused of attempting to plant a bomb on New York's Times Square has ties with the Islamic preacher who inspired a US soldier to kill 12 comrades at Fort Hood and the Christmas Day would-be bomber.
Faisal Shahzad, a Pakistani-born US citizen has told interrogators that he been inspired to take up the cause of al Qaeda and radical Islam by the internet messages of Anwar Al-Awlaki, a Yemen-based imam.
Awlaki, who was born in America, was accused of grooming Nidal Hasan in a series of emails before the US soldier opened fire at the Texas military base last year.

...Investigations into cash transactions indicated that Mr Shahzad received substantial support from foreign sources.

we are all so stunned, heh.
The mentally ill liberal media told me it was because his house was in foreclosure and therefore, Bush’s fault.
But I thought he was a “lone wolf,” justifiably angry because the American Dream wasn’t working out for him.
Naturally it is too late and the Muslim cleric is ALIVE, WELL and THRIVING! Gee, I’s so shocked that this cleric, Zero wanted assinated is still alive! Most likely they were only allowed to use nerf bullets on him.
Shocking.
Contessa Brewer must be distraught.
I pray for my Country.
Does anyone notice how often Faisal Shahzad took his own picture with his cell phone and then left it where it could easily be found? 15 minutes of fame - his picture of himself? Copy cats? What ever....the camera’s and news folks are paving the way with all their non stop what-ifs rhetorical hyperbole for more dropped back packs, strange boxes, etc. Few if any facts seem necessary to this hysterical feeding frenzy by the alphabet MSM and FOX.(for shame) A well orchestrated smoke screen?....have the terrorist won this round?
--OK, so Faisal Shahzad was placed on our terrorist watch list by the Clinton Administration in 1999, kept on the list during the Bush years, but was taken off the list by the Obama Administration sometime in 2009?
And didn't Shahzad become a naturalized U.S. citizen in April 2009? That means that either
(i) Obama's INS allowed a Pakistani immigrant who was on Department of Homeland Security's terrorist watch list and had been on the list for 10 years to become a naturalized U.S. citizen, or
(ii) Obama got Shahzad (and likely thousands of other suspected terrorists) removed from the terrorist watch list, without careful study of the particulars of each case, within his first two months in office!
I think that this is the biggest scandal in this story.

bttt
You start with the perverse contamination of Islam, mix in a little narcissism and self-pity, topped off by a desire to be someone important among the Islamist thugs he admired, and you get a kook like Faisal Shahzad. All Muslims are potentially dangerous. When they advertise it, it’s wise to pay attention.
Rev Wright?
Lies! All lies! Can’t be because Fox and Friends think it’s so cute how he makes little hearts over his signature.
Good Lord, the author actually uses the word “Islamic!” That’s ONCE more than the NY Times, Washington Post and CNN COMBINED!
He was on the watch list before Hussein’s admin took him off. How anyone who was at anytime on a watch list is able to be naturalized (under Hussein’s admin) is beyond me.
I suspect he was still on someone’s list or they wouldn’t have found him so quickly. 48 hours ain’t bad.
This is the most disturbing fact. Probably why MSM is lying in coverage of him.
Contessa Brewer is deeply Frustrated
