They are all recently american citizens...

This is what I find disturbing. My Canadian husband lived in the U.S. for ten years with his green card, but never became a citizen for the same reason I'll never become a Canadian citizen--loyalty/dedication to the countries of our birth.

These people apparently become citizens just to make it easier to accomplish their goals. I wish there were some way to screen people like that out in the citizenship process.

The MSM will quickly forget all of the rhetoric they’ve spouted for the past few days and change to how Obama has kept us safe. “The US has not been attacked since he became President ... “

So it looks like the feds did have a lot of knowledge about this guy loooooong before he tried blowing up Times Square, and yet they didn't pick HIM up before he committed a crime, the way they did the "militia" members in Michigan. They probably WERE hoping he'd be killed in the explosion or even get away clean, so they could blame it on angry white men who may or may not drink tea.

Limbaugh was just saying this guy had become a US citizen only a year ago.

This entire mess rests on our screwy/PC immigration system.
Latinos and Muslims get first crack, to appease them.
A couple years ago USCIS (agency in charge) lost 30,000 files they were to vet...so they just approved them instead, with no vetting.

Decent immigrants are put in the back of the line. They serve no purpose to push this country into socialism/anarchy.

People keep saying we allow 1 million Legal entries every year...WRONG. It’s closer to 4 million every year...and growing.

Take a look at just what USCIS does. Last year we gave over a million citizenship, then there are the dozens of visas to suit just about anyone. And remember all those refugees who get ‘temp legal status’...those are given out by the State Dept and not even counted in the uscis numbers.

“A Day in the Life of USCIS”- (Is this any way to protect our nation?)

Some of the DAILY work of USIS according to their own document:

* Conduct 135,000 national security background checks

* process 30,000 applications for immigrant benefits

* Issue 7,000 permanent resident cards (green cards -PER DAY)

* Welcome 2100 new citizens.

* Welcome 3500 new permanent residents.

"But now two would be devastating terror attacks on his incompetent watch were averted by nothing but blind luck....and of course the total retardation of the Islamics."

Except that the explosion about that rig might have been terrorism. The administration is certainly covering SOMETHING up besides their usual incompetence and failure to properly engage. The Fort Hood attack occurred during Obama's watch too, and IIRC he was on stage that night yukking it up and shoutin' out the Homies.

He's not lucky; he's well insulated by layers of press.

Absolutely...thank you for calling it what it is....no matter what washington or the media says this is just one of many that will continue until this administration understands they are here, they have indeed declared war, and their intentions are clear.

Alas...that will not happen...closed eyes will not make this go away...expect more of these and some that will not be stopped before they explode.

Pakistani media are reporting that Shahzad is from Karachi and spent significant time in Peshawar, the capital of North-West Frontier Province, where the government is waging a fierce war against Taliban militants.

A Pakistani government source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told TIME on Tuesday that the suspect had ties with militants while in Pakistan. “He was here at a training camp,” the source said. The source also claimed that members of Shahzad’s family were arrested in Karachi on Tuesday morning.

Bloomberg needs to resign as he’s obviously more concerned with politics than protecting his city. The MSNBC anchor, and all others who ran with the supposition that it was a “Tea Party” plot should be summarily fired (don’t worry - I won’t hold my breath waiting for either...).
