CNN: Obama promises justice for Christmas terror plotters
CNN.com ^ | January 2, 2010

Posted on 01/02/2010 8:01:36 AM PST by Oldeconomybuyer

(CNN) -- President Obama pledged Saturday that the United States will hold accountable all of the individuals involved in the failed Christmas Day terrorist attack aboard a U.S.-bound jetliner.

"All those involved in the attempted act of terrorism on Christmas must know you, too, will be held to account," Obama said in his weekly address.

Obama also recently spoke with Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano to receive an update on a federal review of "detection capabilities and ... enhanced security measures" put in place since the attempted bombing.

A new Transportation Security Administration directive requires airlines to physically pat down all passengers boarding planes bound for the United States and inspect their carry-on bags.

The directive also gives airlines the discretion to take other measures to prevent people from secretly assembling or igniting bombs on aircraft. Those measures include prohibiting people from keeping pillows or blankets on their laps during the final hour of a flight.

Plotters with an “s”??? Naw, that must be a mistake because the Big 0 said he acted alone. Oh, and throw in “allegedly” here and there. If it had been anything important, 0 would have spent longer than 13-15 minutes between the time he was finally notified of the incident to the time the motorcade left for the gym.

I would feel better if he talked with with Barney Fife.

“””With free public-financed defense lawyers and all rights normally given only to citizens...”””


All part of Obama’s latest porkulus program to employ leftist/Marxist lawyers.

“”obamas justice will be to send them home, so they can fight again.””


Another poster referred to this as Obama’s “catch and release” program.

This coming from the same ‘crew’ who couldn’t keep party-crashers out of the White House.

He is going to give them a stern talking to. If that doesn't work, he may even have them arrested.

So.. instead of “violating the rights” of young Islamic males with dark hair and dark eyes (which all terrorists seem to be lately), He’s ordering that grannies and kids and blonde models be patted down... to be fair.

Asymmetric jihadist warriors are not concerned and are definitely not accountable. The "attempted" act revealed by the insidious mind of the jihadist serves the secondary purpose to "strike fear into the hearts of the unbelievers".

After a week of thought, this is what the best minds in our government can come up with?

Who will protect us from our protectors?

Justice...what you get in court after a crime is committed.

Peace...what you get after you completely annihilate the enemy in war and destroy his will to continue.

Can you imagine the "justice" we'll get after NYC or Wash DC are smoking holes in the ground?

ZerO has not followed up on getting the next panty bomber, but, has allowed them to learn from their mistakes. The next dozen airliners to fall out of the sky will be his responsibility.

Just like O.J. wasn’t going to rest until he found the “real killer”. And both he and Obama seem to believe such a search is best conducted on the golf course.

I think the twit Obama is getting the message some what about what the people of this country is going to do if he doesn't straighten up or at least pretend to..Him and his Czars are going to fast for their bosses so now it is time to slow down..

A Question is what is the Fort Hood Terrorist Obama is he a terrorist yet..All I can say is wait until November then you scum bags will pay at the polls..That is if you don't destroy the country with your terrorist friends..
