Federal air marshals subdued a man who authorities say attempted to "light his shoes on fire" on a United flight from Washington Reagan to Denver Wednesday night, federal law enforcement officials told ABC News.

SNIP

The suspect was identified by authorities as a diplomat in the Qatar embassy in Washington, Mohammed al Modadi. The FBI said the man had full diplomat immunity as the 3rd secretary and vice-consul.

Since Obama advisers who are rewriting a document spelling out the country's national security strategy plan to leave out references to "Islamic radicalism," this guy's gotta be a terror-fomenting Lutheran, obviously. Can't airport security start profiling these Protestants?

A beer with Obama would be my guess.

Did the air marshals act "stupidly" in subduing the man? Seriously though, I thought Qatar was a decent ally. Isn't there a big Centcom HQ there?

“If they play the “diplomatic immunity” card, their delegation will likely be sent home, our delegation will be called home, and Qatar will go on the terrorist list and all trade between us will be shut down.”

You forget we are coping with an Obama Regime. Doubt it would happen.

We should do away with diplomat immunity IMHO.

KUSA-TV says a passenger told them the passengers have been taken off the plane and are being interviewed by the FBI.

I have no idea. If it were up to me, he’d never be seen or heard from again.

Two jet fighters flew in from Buckley Air Force Base to meet the flight as it flew the final 40 miles to Denver.

How'd you really like to see these bad boys on either wing? Too bad they shut down the bathrooms, cause I'd be...


They are NOT there to help you land thats for sure....

Execute him and bury him with pig carcases as an example to all others who would attempt the same.

What would happen to al Udeid Air Base?

Not with OThuga in charge.

He’ll think of several reasons to blame us and grovel.

diplomatic immunity.

I say no one boards a plane without the same rigor that everyone else has to go through. And if they claim diplomatic immunity they can charter a private plane.

Qatar will probably take him to Qatar for execution. I doubt they trust Obama and his lapdog Eric Holder to be able to deal with this.

But with 0bama in the Whitehouse; he’ll be invited to a state dinner.

My first guess would be

Houka Night at the White House.

Yes, Qatar would have to wave his immunity. The most likely outcome is that 0 will sit down and have a beer with him.

Timing impeccable, considering this news from earlier in the day:

President Barack Obama’s advisers plan to remove terms such as “Islamic radicalism” from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counterterrorism officials say.

My thoughts exactly when I read the headline - we were safe during the Bush years. Now, it’s hard to keep up with all the evil that is happening.
