How Will Obama Administration Officials Respond to Discovery of Rocket Launcher in Houston?

According to a news report out of Houston this morning, police there found an AT-4 shoulder-mounted rocket launcher like the one shown in the photo above, alleged to belong to a man by the name of Nabilaye I. Yansane, in a southwest Houston apartment complex. Though I have yet to see comments by members of the Obama Administration in response to the news about this weapon, I have some ideas about what they might say

If it were as you say it could be, why would he still have the empty "brass"? What he possesses isn't dangerous except possibly to him if CSI could prove something with it.

If he had a Grail launcher, I would be much more concerned. That would help explain why that airliner was shot at and missed. If it was.

If you look close you will see that all that brass has been photoshopped in. At first I thought someone had tossed a box full of brass at the soldier.

"this was just the tube launcher & no rocket."

Just a tube that could be used for training? Or maybe he has the rocket being modified? Or maybe the rocket was already shot at a target and missed? There's nothing to see here folks,... move along!

but without the rounds what good is it

Except their was some context for the “Mission Accomplished” banner - that aircraft carrier crew’s mission was coming to a conclusion. Very little in the Obama Administration, including DoHS and TSA works.

their -> there

Of course not. Muzzies could blow up half of Houston and the stupid Feds would say ‘no evidence of a terrorist ties’.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

It's not a rocket launcher.

It's an empty shell that once housed a rocket that was launched long ago.

It is now as dangerous as an empty cartridge case.

Read the update where it appears at the end of this post on my blog (or in a reply below). Also, don't forget the line in the news story that reads as follows: According to court documents, officers also found Jihadist writings that allegedly belonged to Yansane. Surely, that makes it newsworthy, right?

I was going to say that in the post, but I got lazy. You’re absolutely right. “The System Worked” was far, far worse.

I think my administration is going to stay off commercial flights for a few months; MAKE THAT YEARS. (until regime change)
