Explosive device set off aboard airliner(by Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab )

[cold start]

People get into the white house state dinner without being on a list. This guy gets on a plane bound for the U.S. even though his name was on a different list.

[goseminoles]

I’d love to kick this guys ass.

On christmas.

[GoforBroke]

Still makes me think Air France Flight 447 was taken out with a similar method.

[umgud]

A passenger muslim on an international flight bound for the United States Friday ignited a small explosive device shortly before landing...........

[Ronin]

I see they gave him medical care for his wounds.

If it was me, I would throw some bandages in his cell and tell him to stop bleeding on the floor.

That would be it.

[GodfearingTexan]

we’ve spent all this time and all this money and yet we still haven’t the wherewithall to synchronize those listed as having terrorists ties with our no flight list? or secondary screenings for people who board planes in 3rd world countries?

[Dilbert San Diego]

And think about how Obama has apologized for America around the world.

He went to Cairo and made his speech where he was making nice with the Muslim world.

He has proudly proclaimed that “we do not torture”.

He has promised to close Gitmo, because the mere existence of Gitmo allegedly recruited more angry Muslims to the cause of terrorism.

He has frequently said that we haven’t always lived up to our highest ideals.

After everything he has done to make nice with the Muslim world, it defies believeability that this terrorist attempt could ever happen. (sarcasm)

Thank God for alert, active passengers on the plane who stopped the son of Allah. Feed him bacon in the hospital and later in prison.

[umgud]

I’d give him bandages soaked in oinkment. Oh, and a little sulfur works wonders on chemical burns.

[ColdOne]

A CNN reporter said this list was only that his name came up in cell phones and websites.

So he was on the list to be the list.

More pre 9/11 thinking.

Evidently!

“More pre 9/11 thinking.”

This is pre ‘93 thinking ... don’t know what’s worse, the muzzies attacking from without or from within ... he was bound for Detroit ... safe house in case it failed? Bets?

[benewton]

He’s a mussie, and we’d have to deflee and wash the cell after he’s done anyway.

No bandages, no care: lock the cell and see how long it takes him to starve.

A slight revision in the plan: ensure that he’s located where his screaming won’t disturb the pedophiles...

[ColdOne]

Air France Flight 447 Of course that is what happend to it.

[ColdOne]

he was bound for Detroit ... safe house in case it failed? Bets?

They do not need a safe house with the ACLU and AG Holder.

[fish hawk]

Oh No!!!! we are profiling again.

"Thank God for alert, active passengers on the plane who stopped the son of Allah."

"A passenger on an international flight bound for the United States Friday ignited a small explosive device shortly before landing..."

It was obviously only one of several probes by the enemy against holes in our security. The enemy hasn't even begun harassment tactics. We're going to have to fight a worldwide, high intensity war sooner or later, or we'll be nuked. ...can't go on playing cops and robbers to distract the girls.

[jessduntno]

"he was bound for Detroit ... safe house in case it failed? Bets?"

They do not need a safe house with the ACLU and AG Holder.

True...but no where in the whole US would be better for him to be than Detroit if he needed a temporary safe haven...until Bammy could protect him.

[familyop]

"we’ve spent all this time and all this money and yet we still haven’t the wherewithall to synchronize those listed as having terrorists ties with our no flight list? or secondary screenings for people who board planes in 3rd world countries?"

That shouldn't be a problem at all. Only about 80 million of them are hostile, choice, fresh meat for guerilla training. We don't need to fight any real war. Surely, continued police work will protect us ("as seen on TV"). We can go on merrily with relatively low freight fuel prices and our sedentary spoiled rottenness while consuming junk from third world countries. ...no need for any manufacturing base or any return to patriarchal society.

[Little irony, sarcasm and humor there, but things are going to get a lot funnier up here on "I told you so!" hill.]

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab

That doesn't sound much like an Amish name to me...

Oh - wait... terrorist attack... by a... shock-and-awe.... Religion of Peace® adherent? NO WAY!!!

[TheBattman]

We don’t have the backbone to fight such a battle - unless the nuke happens first. That and we get a non-muzzie president in the office.
