It's ironic, isn't it, that if this terrorist had succeeded in his act of terrorism against America, Ubama and his mob would be secretly cheering inside.

He was reportedly on a US intelligence “watch-list” but not on the US Government’s no-fly list.

A federal “situational awareness” bulletin said: “The subject is claiming to have extremist affiliation and that the device was acquired in Yemen along with instructions as to when it should be used.”
