WRAPUP 9-Obama says US will pursue plane attackers
Reuters ^ | December 28, 2009 | Jeff Mason

KAILUA, Hawaii, Dec 28 (Reuters) - A wing of al Qaeda claimed responsibility on Monday for a failed Christmas Day attack on a U.S.-bound passenger plane, and President Barack Obama vowed to bring "every element" of U.S. power against those who threaten Americans' safety.

In a statement posted on Islamist websites, the group Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula said the attempt was to avenge U.S. attacks on its members in Yemen.

The group said it had provided the Nigerian suspect in the failed airliner bombing with a "technically advanced device" but that it did not detonate because of a technical fault.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, 23, is charged with smuggling explosives on board and attempting to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight as it approached Detroit from Amsterdam on Dec. 25 with almost 300 people on board.

Yeah, right, Obama the terror philanthropist.

Send your authorities to go after the terrorists, but he won't because he philanders to the America hating muzzies.

They better watch it, or they’ll have to deal with Janet Incompetano.

Now, he’s going to get tough...by subjecting passengers to strip and cavity searches...except for any Muslims or anyone who looks Muslim.

Heard today that certain segments of the Patriot Act will expire December 31. Yeah, we’re serious about fighting terrorism.

He's probably talking about right wing extremists.

Good luck Barry! Bush said he’d find those responsible for 9-11 and all he got for his troubles were belly-aching leftists and MSM.

I feel so safe.

(P.S. I think you mean “panders,” unless you’re trying to say that Zer0 is cheating on Michelle with a Muslim.)

Pardon, Mr. President? Plane attackerS? What happened to "lone extremist"?

Seriously. How stunning is this?

Granted, politicians often have to retract their words, to backpedal. But because they've been corrected (accurately and relevantly corrected) -- almost instantly shamed, upstaged, embarrassed and just generally pwned -- by bloviating, goat raping, cave dwelling jihadist scum?

When has anything like that ever happened? What if anything like that had ever happened to Bush? But because it's the "cool" President (and the one who happens to have the crucial "D" after his name) the American MSM is acting like nothing happened. Nothing! [Stultis' head explodes]

Obama Vows to Disrupt and Dismantle Terrorists in Wake of US Plane Incident

Trust me, Obama's not gonna pursue any more of his Muzzie Buddies. Reagan would have done so, so he can shed more Muzzle Blood like feeding carcasses through a tree shredder.
