Time for another beer summit? Obama will iron things out! Maybe Michelle can serve some lightly steamed organic veges.

So far they’re keeping company with Martha Stewart and Scooter Libby. Hopefully the FBI will have some real ‘terrorist’ charges at some point. I remain cautious about taking the FBI’s press releases at face value.

Hiya, Mom...

I’m cramping my fingers to avoid the sin of spamming every remotely related thread with that post — i think it’s that important...

I’m making it my personal crusade to ensure that we don’t go back to pre-9/11 sleep.....

At this point in an equivalent DUmmie or KOSmunists thread, they’d already be saying how this is a “fascist tactic by the evil Bushie and his puppeteer Cheney to keep the populace scared”.

yawn..........

It's okay...It's just those silly misunderstood Islamist boys acting up again.

They're just part of the diversity that makes us so strong, right?

Why should the "authorities" even tell the MSM about looking for more suspects? And why should the MSM report it even if the "authorities" have told them? Seems as if the suspects might be getting a heads-up that can help them to escape apprehension.

Maybe the feds are saying this to encourage them to move and reveal themselves?

We broke up the attack? That's not very nice, after all it's what they do and we have to understand other cultures. And I've heard these guys were wiretapped, under authorization which didn't exist prior to the evil President George W. Bush, who some people (non-racists) comared to Hitler in the past.

I hope this is a wakeup call for the President and his staff of Czars. There are bad guys out there.

The only reason I doubt this is that it wouldn’t make any sense for al Qaeda to do their next sttack on NYC *again*. That would start creating the perception throughout the US that al Qaeda is NYC’s problem, not the rest of the country’s problem. That wouldn’t give al Qaeda the control over US public opinion and voting that they’re seeking. My guess is that these are real terrorists planning a real attack, but that the information making it look like NYC is their target is a decoy. And why use an operative from Boulder to plot an attack on NYC? There aren’t enough jihadists already living in NYC? The Colorado guy couldn’t be relocated to NYC?
