Say what you want about Obama, but our FBI and Homeland Security CAUGHT THIS GUY.
The car was bought with cash, stolen plates and they still tracked him down in time to nab him. Sure, it was close, like a good movie.
Give credit where it’s due.
NYPD caught him. The Feds took over after the international link was exposed.
Trusting to luck is not a strategy for the competent.
Small comfort there.
Like the Christmas shoe-bomber, this Muslim terrorist was caught only after the bomb was in place and ignited. Only failures in the bomb itself prevented hundreds of people dying a horrible death in each case.
In these last two Muslim bomb attacks in the U.S., Obama and his Homeland Security Department are batting ZERO in prevention. In both cases young Muslim men entered this country from known terror centers without problem and ignited bombs.
This is a terrible failure of the Obama administration, not something to be praised.
The street vendor saved the day! FBI and HS weren't there.
My understanding was that this guy was already on a plane that had pulled away from the gate.
Clearly, Homeland security failed. This guy was NOT on a no-fly list, got through security without any special screening and got past government agents staked out at the airport.
Meanwhile, 6 year old girls and feeble old ladies were being pulled aside for random screenings.
The practice of no-profiling for PC-sakes allowed a domestic terrorist to get on a plane.
Homeland security practices were a DISMAL failure in this case and should be thoroughly criticized.
