Dallas Morning News ^ | September 24, 2009 | Staff Report

Posted on 09/24/2009 7:39:26 PM PDT by Young Werther

Federal authorities arrested a 19-year-old Jordanian citizen whom they said placed an inactive car bomb today at Fountain Place, a 60-story skyscraper in downtown Dallas.DMN File Fountain Place at 1445 Ross Avenue Hosam Maher Husein Smadi has repeatedly voiced his intent to serve Osama bin Laden and al-Qa’ida and commit “violent Jihad,” authorities said in a prepared statement.

“Today’s arrest of Hosam Maher Husein Smadi underscores the FBI’s unwavering commitment to bring to justice persons who attempt to bring harm to citizens of this country and significant danger to this community,” special FBI agent in charge Robert E. Casey, Jr. said in the statement. “Smadi made a decision to act to commit a significant conspicuous act of violence under his banner of ‘self Jihad.’

New York Subways, Dallas Office Buildings, is there enough FBI resources for multiple targets being planned?

Wonder what Obombers speechifying will accomplish!

The Dallas Target is an I.M.Pei archetecturial icon.

A very sharp caller on today’s Laura Ingraham show referred to him as “Commander-in-speech.”

Very fitting for a guy who can’t do a damn thing other than speechify.

Here is the deal. Islam teaches all believers to kill Christians and Jews (infidels). Until we eject all moslims we will suffer death and destruction.

“Hosam Maher Husein Smadi”

Is Hussein a popular middle name for Islamic terrorists?

I suspect this contained pre-arranged wake-up signals to sleeper cells pre-positioned in the U.S.

The end of Ramadan, Barry speaking at the UN boasting how he's closed Guantanamo and ceased “torture”, Osama and Al Zawhoever sending out new tapes. Who knows. There may have been a cartoon that got everybody’s knickers in a knot.

I think it may have been supposed to have been a failed concerted effort.

And I really hope this “praising Allah at the White House” that is supposed happen tomorrow has no connection.

I think that the only hope we have for Israel is in Netanyahu. I know for sure he will stand strong, and that I praise him for. What a sign from God, the strong right-winger protects Israel exactly at the time it is needed, when American federal support of Israel is at its lowest and the verbal vitriol of the American president against Israel is strong.

I recall 0bama schmoozing them over in Fla. and Rahm helped Im sure.

Is Rahm a practicing faithful Jew? Does he give a rats petard?

I’m already trying to figure out where they’re going to go with it. I keep thinking back to Barry shaking his fist at Pakistan during the campaign... the only country in the world he’s ever had any tough talk for.

I don’t care where the individual jihadists are from. I think the next attack will have Pakistani DNA all over it. The ramifications of such a scenario are horrifying.

The UN meeting of radicals showed what you said so very clearly.You clearly point out the war. There has been a line drawn in the sand and we have an enemy within.
Obama, Farakkhan, Wright should all just move to an island and practice their radical black liberation theology.

There is supposed to be a big prayer group (estimated 50,000) in Washington D.C. tomorrow. Supposed to be in support of the US. And...it could be. I'm waiting to see what actually transpires. We have wanted for the peaceful Muslims to speak out. Maybe that is the plan. Maybe these terrorist attempts were in a protest of that event.

I can't in my wildest imagination think there would be a large “revival” in D.C. if one the planned attacks had actually came to fruition. That would be coo-coo.

(Thanks..not many remember my appearance in HOPE Floats..Did you catch me in CHANGE Of Habit? ;))

The Dallas Target is an I.M.Pei archetecturial icon.

Just because it's an incredibly ugly piece of architecture is no reason to bomb it.

“New York Subways, Dallas Office Buildings, is there enough FBI resources for multiple targets being planned?”

The answer is no. Because they only need to get it right once. And it’s going to go down and NYC is going to be hit. But it will be on a smaller scale before they execute a larger plan.

That’s the one that worries me. I can feel it in my bones. They are working on it and will plan it to the tenth degree. And it will be worse than many folks imagine.

People will remember Dick Cheney differently, not that it matters.

Depleted dollar and economy, loss of jobs. A sitting TOTUS that has more slush funds than the Italian mob.An attack(s) on US soil causing choas. So some UN idiot proclaims NWO for all with 0bama signing treaty with him. We are forced to stand down of all enemies under the guise of world peace, we are the world bullcrap. Then they rule in tyranny and put all non followers in UN FEMA camps. Could this be why 0bama/Rahm (see the book The Plan) want they’re own standing army on our soil?

A nightmare all because of political correctness, democrats and race baiting.

The building isn’t to my taste, either. But it fits well with all the other buildings in downtown Dallas. There are “dancing” fountains and a very quiet atmosphere for an area in a major US city.

Besides...it is encased in glass. That couldn’t do much damage..now could it?
