This is Dr. James Manning's most recent video and well worth the listen.
Below I have typed a transcription which is partially paraphrased.
Reverend Manning says that Al Qaeda doesn't fail and he suspects that the terrorist attack on Christmas Day is new psychological warfare. He said if Al Qaeda wanted that plane out of the air, it would have happened.
He said that he feels that Al Qaeda did not want the plane out of the air because it would have forced Obama to go to war, just like President Bush. Obama would have been forced to go to war against Yemen had the terrorist bomb attempt succeeded.
Manning says that Obama has already worked out a deal with Al Qaeda about US troops leaving Iraq.
Yet Al Qaeda doesn't want to lose its edge and that is why they delivered the message to the world on Christmas Day.
He said that Al Qaeda does not associate with people too dumb to light a fuse. Reverend Manning repeated that Al Qaeda does not want to force Obama to bomb Yemen and that is the reason that the terrorist did not set the bomb off.
Reverend Manning said the question is now "what do we do about it?"
Again Manning said that if Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda wanted that plane on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, it would be there now. Manning said Al Qaeda and Osama bin Laden are calling the shots now.
Reverend Manning predicts airline tickets will go through the roof now because Al Qaeda is and will be messing with our economy.
Reverend Manning said that Obama is a quasi-Muslim freak.
The terrorist action on Christmas Day is a new psychological warfare. It is an announcement from Al Qaeda that they have moved their base of operations to Yemen and this bombing attempt on Christmas Day was their announcement to the world.
Al Qaeda wanted your attention but they did not want the plane on the bottom of the ocean.
Al Qaeda War Games
and Manning knows this, how?
This is not as far fetched as some might think.
Carl Rove said on Greta’s show that AQ achieved 80% of their objectives, by creating terror and disrupting US air travel even without actually knocking the plane out of the sky.
In my opinion, this created more terror, because if the plane had actually crashed, everyone would have been dead and the authorities would have covered it up and not admitted it was a result of a terror attack, this way there is no doubt.

I respect reverend Manning, but this terrorist burned his Acorn sack for nothing? I doubt it.
Exactly. I agree.SmartInsight wrote: "...In my opinion, this created more terror, because if the plane had actually crashed, everyone would have been dead and the authorities would have covered it up and not admitted it was a result of a terror attack, this way there is no doubt."
Good point!
Marvlus, the linked video is Dr. Manning expressing his opinion.
What is your opinion?
That's a good point, too.
I don't agree.
Psychological and economic warfare
He could well have that right. Mark Steyn has explored this facet today while being "in for Rush". Whatever anger or disagreement the Reverend Manning may provoke, of this I am sure. He loves his country America, just as the Reverend Wright appears to hate America.
Sock it to 'em Reverend.

and his comments regarding the Christmas Day attempted terrorist bombing:
Al Qaeda War Games
Sounds far fetched but after seeing Obama only acknowledging this publicly 3 days later and not real concerned, there might be a bit of truth to this.
FreeReign, what is it that you do not agree with?
'Psychological and economic warfare'
Good points and very well said, Peter Libra!
Good point, Truthandlife.
Seems to me that the guy was trying to blow up the plane...and aren’t we already at war with Al Qaeda, witness our current activities in Yemen and the ‘stans?
SNIPPET from post no. 1: “The terrorist action on Christmas Day is a new psychological warfare.”
No, it’s the same global jihad 24/7. It is not new.

Again, jihadi terrorism is not new; this is just one more example of global jihadi terrorism.

Yes, the jihad propaganda is part of the jihadi warfare.
http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/jihadpropaganda/index?tab=articles
Yes, the jihad propaganda does come in English, Arabic, Urdu....

Will we be attacked again?
SPECULATION - OPINION:
Yes.
More details:
The global jihad is evil and it runs on hate.
They hate us so much and their ultimate goal is to die.
They worship death like we value life.
Let’s remember folks, if you hold a world globe in your hands; you will see America is on that globe, too. Keep that in mind when you read this “Worldwide Caution”:

Maybe he really thought it was gonna blow him to his 72 virgins.
