FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 10, 2006
CONTACT: Brendan Daly/Jennifer Crider 202-226-7616 Pelosi On Thwarted Terrorist Bomb Plot
Washington, D.C. – House Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement today on terrorist bomb plot thwarted in Britain today:
“British authorities are to be commended for disrupting a terrorist plot targeting aircraft headed for the United States.
“Today’s news is an urgent reminder that we must make America safer and the world more stable. We must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 Commission to improve airport security screening at checkpoints.”
Why are we always hearing about statements from the minority dimwit on these type of events. I never see press releases from the Majority leader. Hell, I don't think I even know who that is. I think it was Haskert but he may have retired a while ago because we never see anything from him......
Ha, great keywords!
Did Ms. P's facial expression change as she read her statement? I'm guessing, no.
She forgot to mention the evils of religious and racial profiling.
"She is an idiot. This is so much bigger than that."
Take a drink (or a dozen), step outside reality for a moment, and imagine her in charge of things. We would all be dead already. LOL
You don't suppose the Brits did any profiling, do you?
"This wouldn't happen if we had pulled our troops home."
Stating the obvious here, but if we *had* cut and run in Iraq, that would be the reason as well.
"The school is "Hezbollah High."

All-American Terrorists: How Dearbornistan Boys Went From Football Field to Islamic Terror; TracFone Detonators & Passenger Lists
By Debbie Schlussel
Take Ali Houssaiky of Dearborn, Michigan, currently residing in a holding cell in an Ohio jail.
On the Football Field & Off:
Islamic Terrorists Osma Sabhi Abulhassan & Ali Houssaiky In 2003, he was an Honorable Mention on the Michigan Class-A All-State Football Team. The Fordson High School Football Team he co-captained was hailed in USA Today for its observance of Ramadan fasting. In 2004, he got a full scholarship to play football at Grand Valley State University. And now in 2006, this All-American running back is a pot-smoking Islamic terrorist.
On Tuesday, Houssaiky, age 20, and his friend, Osma Sabhi Abulhassan (Osma is pronounced "Osama"), also 20 and also from Dearborn, were caught in Marietta, Ohio with several cellphones and about $10,000 in cash. They admitted to buying over 600 pay-as-you-go TracFone cellphones, removing the chips, and selling them to their "boss" for $5 (each) over the cost of the phones. The chips are used in bombs by Islamic terrorist groups and have been used to detonate many carbombs. And their "boss" is the subject of an open investigation by the FBI.
Washington County, Ohio Sheriff Larry Mincks--whose men arrested the two--says there are frequent visits to the area by Middle Eastern men driving rental cars usually from Michigan or Virginia, "trying to purchase as many TracFones as they can," and shipping them to the Middle East. Now, I know why it's so hard for me to find a TracFone. Store clerks at CVS et al say Arabs all over the Detroit area have been buying them out in bulk amounts.
Houssaiky and Abulhassan had a map with Wal-Marts that sold the phones circled all the way to North and South Carolina. And they lied to police about why they bought the phones. And they admitted to smoking pot, the least of the circumstances of concern.
Most disturbing, the two had private flight information, passenger lists and information, and other information concerning airport security checkpoints and flights in the American skies. For now, they have been charged with "money laundering to aid terrorism," after initial arrests for obstructing official business after lying to police.
Their travel path for purchasing the phones is similar to that of convicted Hezbollah cigarette smugglers, who also traveled by vehicle from Michigan to North Carolina and back to launder money and send it to Hezbollah. But this time, it appears that more than laundering was being planned.
What were the two 20-year-old "All-American" kids going to do with the flight and passenger information? Why did they have it on their persons if they were driving, not flying? Were they planning a flight later on to another location along with the bomb-detonating cell-phone chips? Were the detonators meant for Iraq car bombs, bombs in Lebanon against Israeli soldiers, or for Americans right here on our shores?
After an arraignment hearing in an Ohio courtroom, Houssaiky shouted to reporters that he was "doing my job." Just what was his "job"? Do Homeland Security and the FBI want to face facts that these are not the only two Muslim All-American boys raised in this country performing that "job"?
Houssaiky's alma mater, Dearborn's Fordson High School, is the most Muslim populated public high school in America. Hate is prevalent in the tax-funded school, and many of its students have been participating in the pro-Hezbollah rallies in town. The school is "Hezbollah High." Did Houssaiky learn it is okay to participate in this "job" from his peers there? From his mosque? Or some other Dearbornistan institution?
In the face of mounting evidence against her brother, Diana Houssaiky claims the arrest of her brother is discrimination because "his name is Ali and his friends name is Osma." Actually, the discrimination is that Washington County, Ohio Deputy Sheriffs--instead of immediately cuffing the potential terrorists--gave them bottled water and let them sit in the grass to drink it.
The Houssaiky family has called the Michigan American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee to complain about the arrest and ensuing investigation. The organization, headed by "former" Islamic terrorist and FBI award revokee Imad Hamad, is telling people "not to rush to judgment."
600 cellphone chips. A boss under investigation by the FBI. $10,000 in cash. Passenger lists from flights and info on airport security checkpoints. Lying to police about it. They hail from Dearborn, home to thousands of Hezbollah-supporting Islamists. And we are not supposed to "rush to judgment"?
Actually, it's proof that we're not rushing to judgment enough in America.
Sometimes it means you're a terrorist in development.

"We must improve airport security at checkpoints. There are still little old ladies knitting Afghans, and I propose we--eat them."
Nancy `Lickin' My Lips' Pelosi
A wild-eyed old cannibal named Nance
Ate her uncle and two of her aunts,
..A cow and her calf,
..An ox and a half,
And now she can't button her pants.
I also heard that the Brits were monitoring money transfers coming in from Pakistan directed to the plotters. The Brits were connecting the dots of the plot. The Dems are mad at Bush for not connecting dots, but they also got mad at him for monitoring international money transfers with suspected terrorists.
The Dems want to fight the sensitive war on terror, like John Kerry said. I'm sure Bin Laden and his boys will be impressed by how sensitive we are to their feelings. Heck we sure hurt the feelings of the dudes they arrested. They might feel they failed Allah now.
improve screening at checkpoints..ROFL..so I guess these guys were caught as they tried to board the plane..
Further to her statement, Pelosi said, "While we applaud the actions of the British in foiling this plot, we here in America are far more progressive and understand that the feelings of muslim males must be respected, racial profiling is not to be tolerated and islam is a religion of peace"..(SARC/OFF)
Translation: "Sniff, we must...sniff, stop our imperialistic ways and, sniff, try to understand the feelings of terrorists throughout the world, because terrorists have feelings too."
This is a major shock - she didn't use the phrase 'Bush's failed policies' at all.
"Deeply saddened"?
The more she talk the better the Reps chances in November.
Well, that's Congress's job.
What is she waiting for?
"She is an idiot. This is so much bigger than that."
Not as important as Global Warming.
She forgot to mention that if only we would have focussed on arresting Osama, the war on terror would be over. Nevermind all the millions of other islamofascists.
Idiots with no plan for anything!
