The Underwear Terrorist Learned in Yemen
louesc (Diary) Tuesday, December 29th at 2:01AM EST (link)According to reports of The Terrorist Abdulmutallab’s statements to authorities after his arrest, he claims to have gotten the bomb and instruction on how and when to use it from al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen. The biggest offense to us as Americans is that Obama let 12 Terrorist free to go back home from Gitmo On Dec 20th And 6 of them went back home to Yemen. How safe are we America with this limp noodle Administration. Here is the video of Obama letting the terrorist go back home.

But the one thing that clearly had no positive effect on any of this was “the system.”
Janet Napolitano is at least being true to form. After all, she’s one of the oblivious Obama clods who refuses to use the word “terrorism,” opting instead for the utterly ridiculous “man-caused disaters.” In her present position, the kindest thing that can be said is that she’s a useless waste of space.

I agree there. This was at the very least 2nd terrorist attack
antisocial (Diary) Sunday, December 27th at 2:43PM EST (link)We see all over the place comments about attempted terrorist attack. It IS a terrorist attack. That we were lucky(200+ passengers survived) is a different thing. It STILL is a terrorist attack.
All this despite the Cairo speech, promise to close GITMO and banning so called torture. The incompetence and lack of integrity of this administration is stunning. The terrorist threat is not going away anytime soon. We have to be on constant watch. The enemy has the advantage of surprise. They will keep improvising. We have to be on alert all the time and keep improvising. This is a continuing effort to overwhelm all religions by Jihadist Islam. Incompetence and false sense of security is our biggest enemy.
And yes I am looking forward to bus tracks all over Napolitano.

Which is defamatory to street bozos everywhere. Perhaps we should consider giving the job of Homeland Security to the father of the guy who tried to blow the plane up as he was the only one who was on top of the situation ahead of time.

The developing story seems to indicate that political-correctness induced failure at Justice and State, and they share responsibility for the breakdown in security and the subsequent terrorist act.
The “suspect” was allowed entry to the US on a 2-year tourist visa issued by the U.S. Embassy in London, despite having been recently denied entry to the UK because of known radical ties.

“Enlightened statesmen will not always be at the helm.” — James Madison
Napolitano exceeds the limits of the "Peter Principle" Forrest Gump was right- "Stupid is as stupid does."

Politics is the only profession in which the “Peter Principle” does not apply. The Peter Principle states that a person in business (usually government) rises to their highest level of incompetence. In my business- law enforcement- often went like this; A great police officer is promoted to sergeant where he is found to be good. Then he is promoted to Lieutenant where he performs fairly, then he is promoted to Captain where he can barely get by, and there he sits for the rest of his career, barely functioning and damaging everything around him. Not his fault, it is just how it works.
On occasion, people so bad that they can barely get out of their way in the first place still get promoted. Sometimes is it who they know, or who they contribute to in a campaign, or their special status (gay, female, black, etc.), or they get the job because the guy in charge needs a “useful idiot” in the position. (That means he plans to run the position by remote). Why the DHS? It is the key to persuading the public they need Obama and his leadership against “Terrorist, both domestic and foreign”. With DHS creating lists, what stop Obama from guiding it towards whoever he thinks is a threat, like Tea Party members? Nothing, as we’ve seen in earlier attempts by DHS to float lists with right wing radicals and military veterans as potential terrorists. Luckily, the public isn’t in a mental place where they are ready to believe anything Obama’s crew tells them. But that might not always remain. Everything in life is connected, and those who plan way ahead usually win.
As I have said before, read Mao. Heck, read my book- which will be out soon. I saw this coming years ago. It had to. It is the nature of humans.

This may be another attempt or a test. The enemy isn't stupid or ignorant of our weaknesses.
archer52 Sunday, December 27th at 3:11PM EST (link)I’m watching FOX now. Either this is a situation where being a Nigerian taking a dump on a plane from Amsterdam is now a no-no (sorry, I’m giggling just a little. How in the world did we get to a place where using the bathroom can get the door kicked and your butt beat!), or another attempt to take a plane down, OR a test by terrorists to see if we adjusted or not due to our political correctness.
They know we refuse to screen potential terrorists based on their look, ethnic background and travel patterns because it stinks of profiling. Unlike Israel, we apply political correctness to terrorism, choosing to sacrifice innocent lives in exchange for feeling good about ourselves. Many writers have pointed out examples of how we blindly refuse to see what is right in front of us, like screening little old ladies from Wisconsin while two twenty-something Muslims with no baggage go by untouched only because she was magic number in line. (Much like DUI checkpoints, showing that government bureaucrats have little imagination when faced with new threats.)
The terrorists know our weaknesses and I believe constantly try them. You’ll see people fly that fit the profile, get detained, complain, whine and such and are released. The next time a person just like him flies the screener doesn’t want the hassle and doesn’t look as hard. It’s human nature. The flying Imams is an example. They should have said, “Sorry guys, but until your religion quits sending people around the world trying to kill us, life is going to be a bit trying for all of you.” But no, we apologized, (for very little inconvenience considering what could have happened to them in another country) and paid out the cash. I’m sure there is another memo floating around changing the rules once again.
And that is how they’ll beat us and kill our people.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Sunday, December 27th at 3:30PM EST (link)and yes, we were all “developing” responses with the same thoughts at the same time. Great Minds and all
The only other question is if this is indeed DIVERSION to get an attack in somewhere else since Democrat Admins can’t walk and chew bubble-gum at the same time.
And again, I just can’t let rest…. The ObamaBinBiden admin spent the whole W/E hiding giving them a chance to develope something “brilliant” (in their pea-brains) to feed the Teleprompter for the Teleprompter-Savior Appeaser-In-Chief to say — and all they come up with is ill-worded Nappy mumbling/bumbling.

JLenardDetroit (Diary) Sunday, December 27th at 3:22PM EST (link)and you’ll be on track as to what, IMO, has happened here today. AQ is playing the OMD (Obama Made Disaster) that is this Administration like a Fiddle. Right from the AQ handbook they shall falsely accuse. This, again IMO as the situation still unfolds, is attempt to Fiddle ObamaBinBiden and keep Airline security lax as they will use this SET-UP (IMO) to charge the Profiling and use the same RACE-BAITING tactics of the ObamaBinBiden Political machine. It is an ACT that is to keep Americans Terrorized while playing up Liberal knee-jerk Emotionalism. Nothing required but a willing Actor without any real threat to invoke Terror, and with the additional side-show (think the Flying Imams also), to put off and divert attention to the Political as they prepare/plan their next attacks on the US.
Of course, Friday’s Diary: Erick’s: Attempted Al-Qaeda Attack In The Air should be reviewed, in total, in addition to the discussions here in Moe’s fine work!
Recap… This is a SECOND-WAVE but not in the traditional actual attempt to bring down the Airliner attack — but a Political motivated attack to play the ObamaBinBiden admin like a Fiddle.

25 British-born Muslims plotting to bomb Western airliners
sharonmcp (Diary) Sunday, December 27th at 10:54PM EST (link)“COPS fear that 25 British-born Muslims are plotting to bomb Western airliners.”
The fanatics, in five groups, are now training at secret terror camps in Yemen.
It was there London-educated Umar Abdulmutallab, 23, prepared for his Christmas Day bid to blow up a US jet.
The British extremists in Yemen are in their early 20s and from Bradford, Luton and Leytonstone, East London.
They are due to return to the UK early in 2010 and will then await internet instructions from al-Qaeda on when to strike.
A Scotland Yard source said: “The great fear is Abdulmutallab is the first of many ready to attack planes and kill tens of thousands.

Gee, anyone want to pull out the quotes from Obama and Janet the Jackass on how “subjective” these lists were and the Bush terrorism defenses were “overreaching”?
Oh, by the way- there is no “war on terror”. Right.
“Both of our political parties, at least the honest portion of them, agree conscientiously in the same object—the public good; but they differ essentially in what they deem the means of promoting that good. One side believes it best done by one composition of the governing powers; the other, by a different one. One fears most the ignorance of the people; the other, the selfishness of rulers independent of them. Which is right, time and experience will prove.”.Thomas Jefferson

Put me down as: 6:00 pm, on Friday, January 15th (past the news cycle!) as her resignation time/date.
Janet leaving? Maybe, maybe not. Depends on her role
archer52 Sunday, December 27th at 6:23PM EST (link)I see the comment about starting a death watch for Janet and thought, “Well, maybe.” But like I said in my earlier post, it depends on what she means to the WH. What is her role. Obviously beyond causing Moe Lane to seize up and providing a little jester-like entertainment for the Oval Office, why is Janet even in this position?
I worry that such a powerful department is being headed by such a weak and ignorant individual. “Useful Idiot” is what I called her before. She plays a role here and only when the embarrassment of her comments outweighs her usefulness will she be replaced. The longer she stays the more I’m convinced Obama has plans for the DHS beyond floating domestic terrorist lists that name veterans as potential threats. That department mishandled could cause real problems for citizens.
She may leave ... when there is another SC opening

With these kinds of Obama-nites in charge, be afraid America, very afraid!
If this is what they think is solid protection from terrorists, the next attack is just a matter of time. Obama has destroyed our intel system when he released the interrogation files and declared that we would no longer ‘distress’ these killers.
And now he wants to destroy our military justice system by bringing terrorists onto American soil for”civilian trial”? They will have a bully pulpit, gain access to rights reserved for citizens and eventually some judge will release them into the populace to wreak more havoc, because Obama released those files showing “abuse” during interrogation.
For all his alleged smarts, he is one anti-American socialist/communists sob.
By the grace of GOD and a little intellegence, the American voters will end this regime of big government socialism before we lose all of our rights and freedoms.
