Despite the hope and change brought along with a new administration, Americans discovered in 2009 that the threat of terrorism remained. There were several near disasters this last year along with a couple of actual man-caused disasters. While creating the following list I was surprised by the large number of arrests on American soil. I assume my surprise is due to the fact that the media generally forgets about these incidents within a very short period of time and does not make any attempt to report them as another piece of a larger puzzle.
- On May 20, 2009 three U.S. citizens (James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams) and one Haitian (Laguerre Payen) from Newburgh, New York were arrested in a plot to blow up two synagogues in the Riverdale community of the Bronx. The men allegedly placed bombs wired to cell phones in three separate cars outside the Riverdale Temple and nearby Riverdale Jewish Center. It was also alleged that they planed to shoot down military planes operating out of Stewart Air National Guard Base. Both the car bombs and the missiles were actually fakes given to the plotters with the help of an informant for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
- On June 1, 2009 an assailant opened fire on a United States military recruiting office in Little Rock, Arkansas. Abdulhakim Mujahid Muhammad, an American who had converted to Islam, was accused of killing Private William Long. According to law enforcement officials, Muhammad had conducted research on other targets, including military sites, government facilities and Jewish institutions throughout the country.
- On July 27, 2009 seven men were arrested in North Carolina and charged with plotting to wage violent jihad outside the United States. Daniel Patrick Boyd, who authorities allege was the ringleader of a group of men that trained in North Carolina, was later also charged with planning to attack the U.S. Marine base at Quantico, Virginia. Boyd and another man, Hysen Sherifi, were charged with conspiring to murder U.S. military personnel.

I’m worried about the 2009 (and 2010) reverbs from the man-caused disaster on the first Tuesday in 2008, largest disaster in the history of these United States.
Man-caused disasters? Is that supposed to be a joke?
make that the first Tuesday in November, 2008.
I believe that is the term Janet Incompetentado (hat tip: Mark Steyn) used leading up to her confirmation as DHS secretary.
Napolitano tells the German news site Spiegel Online that while she presumes there is always a threat from terrorism: "I referred to "man-caused" disasters. That is perhaps only a nuance, but it demonstrates that we want to move away from the politics of fear toward a policy of being prepared for all risks that can occur."
What the heck does that even mean - “being prepared for all risks that can occur”?
That statement does not make sense. Risks don’t “occur”. People can take a “risk”, like electing BHO who appoints morons like Napolitardo.
Hussein & Friends would call this a "man-caused disaster".I'd call it a pig fornicator-caused call to action.
(Among other things)
Excellent link, thank you MamaD.
And so we leave FEAR behind for the comedic spectrum of the Underpants Jihad, with al quaeda inspired jihadis, wearing fruit of the booms bomber briefs.
I'm starting to seriously despise these people.
Janet Incometano is the exemplar of THE PETER PRINCIPLE. And that's something to fear.
