Obama Describes Nigerian As ‘Isolated Extremist’ Tuesday, December 29, 2009 By Susan Jones, Senior Editor
(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama, in his first public comments on the attempted bombing of a U.S. airliner traveling from Amsterdam to Detroit, described the suspect as “an isolated extremist,” despite reports that the 23-year-old Nigerian had been trained in Yemen, a country he visited twice.
The Associated Press, quoting a Yemeni government official, said Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab lived in Yemen for two different periods of time -- a year from 2004-2005 and again from August-December this year.
And a statement posted online Monday by Al-Qaeda in Yemen (also known as al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula) said its “manufacturing sector” had provided Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab with the device he took onboard the aircraft. (The United States has not yet authenticated the Web posting, but Abdulmutallab's connection to Yemen is not in doubt.)
Obama, in recounting what happened on Christmas day, also used the word “allegedly” to describe the incident. The president says he’s asked his aides to “continue monitoring the situation.”

“an isolated extremist,”
If he was alone, who helped him onto the plane?
... and Maj Hassan, despite his declarations to the contrary, is not a terrorist.
/sarc
Then who helped him board the plane in Amsterdam. The prez is talking out his ass again.
Yea, that’s not new. And janet incompetano is on it. Hope she is having fun
Al Qaeda may have missed blowing up an airliner but they succeeeded in mocking and making a fool of obama and his DHS
by openly announcing this attack was their plot, and their man
They must be smirking at this stammering Kenyan from their caves in Yemen.
How’s that hopie-changie thing goin’ for us?
The man is an idiot and apologist.
And a dangerous idiot at that.
Just like the isolated Fort Hood guy? Or the isolated guy with the shoe bomb a few years back? Or the isolated handful that bombed London? Or the isolated handful that did the World Trade Centre? Or the isolated handful in Madrid? Or the isolated handful in Russia? Or the isolated handful in Bali?
That’s an awful lot of ‘isolated’ extremists.
but...he called the terrorist 'alleged'....
this POS zer0bama needs to be impeached.
Like the Black Panthers, the Unions, SEIU etc., Obama is president for some, not all. “Allegedly” - “an isolated extremist,”?????? Folks, we’ve gotta problem here.....you can’t get much weaker, problem is does Obama even care?
the people who trained him (and he says are training others like him), supplied the explosive, designed the bomb, planned his routing and his mission, got him on the plane without a passport .... made the al Qaeda press release congratulating him and brotehr Hasan
“Isolated Extremists Inc” aka “Al Qaeda”
Usually a FOOL bumbles along, doing little harm to anyone; in this case, however, he is the President of the United States and the leader of the free world. We are in deep stuff, people.
I’m beginning to believe Obama is a “Manchurian Candidate” for Al-Qaeda. I wonder where he was “trained”?
0bama is an incompetent idiot, like his DHS secretary Napolitano.
They are so steeped in their Maoist Cultural Revolutionary ideology, that they are committing national suicide. Of course, they won’t suffer. Only peons like us will suffer from their incompetence and idiocy.
Will our closet Muzzie COS ever get the balls to speak the truth about his “brothers”?
When will we admit that the Obamaloon is an idiot on his best days and just a plain liberal on his worst?
It’s difficult for Obama, the isolated extremist acting as Present, to keep the charade going. Especially when he has to take time out from resting.
It seems every week it’s something new with this guy. I keep thinking he’s finally done as much stupidity as possible but he keeps proving me wrong.
