ABDULMUTALLAB: More Like Me In Yemen Accused Northwest Bomber Says More Bombers On the Way; Al Qaeda Promises to Hit Americans By BRIAN ROSS and RICHARD ESPOSITO

Dec. 28, 2009 —

American officials have cause to worry there may be more al Qaeda-trained young men in Yemen planning to bring down American jets.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, charged with the attempted Christmas Day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253, told FBI agents there were more just like him in Yemen who would strike soon.

And in a tape released four days before the attempted destruction of the Detroit-bound Northwest plane, the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen boasted of what was planned for Americans, saying, "We are carrying a bomb to hit the enemies of God."

Yemen has become a principal al Qaeda training ground and the accused suicide bomber told the FBI he was trained for more than a month in Yemen, given 80 grams of a high explosive cleverly sewn into his underpants, undetected by standard security screening.

"They know that this is a weakness and an Achilles' heel in our airport security system," said ABC News consultant and former counterterrorism czar Richard Clarke.

Law enforcement authorities say tragedy was averted only because the bomb's detonator did not work.

Poor feeble minded Janet. It’s not a plot. It’s Jihad.

That’s probably what he was doing. I suspect he was looking for something that he expected to have been hidden in the bathroom.

And there was another pair I heard about yesterday that were talking loudly in a foreign language and watching a video on a laptop of some war movie.

Just like the MO in that Atlanta flight that is being covered up.

The Obama Company Line:

These policies were put in place 2-3 years ago....

It’s Bush’s fault.

This administration can’t protect a White House Party from being infiltrated, they certainly have not protected this country which has had TWO terrorist attacks in just months!!

Speaking of Barry, I've got two questions:

Did we ever find out why the three hour delay in telling Barry about the attack?

And were the plane passengers buttoned up for three hours after landing? A passenger on FNC this morning said the passengers were held about that long. I thought it was interesting that the time mentioned by the passenger was same amount of time that it took to notify Barry...

It will probably come to the non-Muslim passengers on the plane strip searching Muslims as soon as they board the plane.

*More Like Me In Yemen*

Solution: kill 10-20000 Yemenis in bombing raids.

Will Obama order it done?

I'm sure that they did and carried it away.

Gave that job to one or more of the FBI's FNG's.

IMO the second was just a run through to see what had changed and what adjustments need to be made.....OR he was flushing his material down the toilet...Wonder if they checked in the refuge to see if there was any suspect chemicals there?

A good reason to turn Yemen into a smoking radioactive crater.

Never happen, but that’s what needs to be done.

“And BHO’s reply - Hey I’m on vacation........”

President Bush was excoriated for being on vacation a month BEFORE the September 11 attacks. Now the press is reporting that Zero is always fully briefed on what’s going on around the country and around the world. They NEVER said that about President Bush who kept us safe from other attacks.

And President Bush actually did “inherit” Al Qaeda but had too much class to blame his predecessor. He took responsibility and acted like LEADER.

.....Hussein’s popularity as these attacks continue and he says NOTHING and does NOTHING? ....

In the MSM, every act of the The Anointed One, from eating a sandwich to using the loo, is merely further proof of his divinity. His sloth and insouciance in handling this shocking act of terrorism will be broadcast as statesmanlike deliberate, calming, and the act of a great peacemaker.

Prediction: in the coming weeks, Janet Napolitano will notice the distinct imprint of bus tires on her expansive rump. Hussein's popularity? Who knows? Might even increase! It will all be on the Divine Teleprompter.

It was the same with Ft Hood. He doesn't want to draw attention to the jihad.
