CNN ^ | 10/29/10

CNN) -- Suspicious packages found in at least two locations abroad that were bound for Jewish organizations in the United States "apparently contain explosive material," President Barack Obama said Friday, calling the discovery "a credible threat against our country."

The packages led to increased searches of cargo planes and trucks in several U.S. cities, said law enforcement sources with detailed knowledge of the investigation.

U.S. officials believe that al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, commonly referred to as AQAP, is behind the incident.

Obama confirmed that the packages originated in Yemen, the stronghold of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula.

That the packages were allowed to fly over crowded
municipalities, and were allowed to enter the USA,
and that the packages were sent by mail from Yemen to
synagogues, both suggest this might be an inside job
from the DNC as the 2010 October surprise.

“[A]nother bit of bad news for Obama: the number of Jews who identify as Republican or as independents who lean Republican has increased by more than half since the year he was elected. At 33 percent it now stands at the highest level since the data have been kept.”

VERY nice!

I suppose they always seem to do that but I don’t know how they could possibly say that with a straight face when everything shows they are coming from Yemen and they were bound for Jewish places of worship.

The dog is being wagged. How do you and I know the "explosive" really is explosive? "Cause Obozo says so?"

I am not convinced.

In other words, they can move PDQ when the rabble starts to get uppity about being forced to choose between full-body-groping or the digital strip-search.

You are correct. If threat was real why allow planes to enter U.S.A. airspace?
