The Dutch have a reason to cover up incompetence. Maybe their video review was as thorough as their security screening. The eyewitness passengers are voice what they saw. Question everything.

Well, thank God for that Dutch civilian passenger who jumped on the bomber and put the fire out. 298 people owe him their lives, and that was a really courageous act.

Not really.

The bomb had already dud-ed before the passenger jumped on the EunuchBomber.

Not to say the Dutchman wasn’t brave and that his actions weren’t commendable, but let’s face facts:

The ONLY reason that plane didn’t go down was due to the incompetence of the terrorist(s), not the actions of any government, agency or individual.

Let’s keep that in mind whenever we hear, “The system worked.”

And the sharply dressed Indian gentleman who said that the Nigerian bomber was a Somali refugee and asked him to be put through without a passport?

He no longer exists?
