Crotch-bomber boo-boo: Team O tells terrorist to go mum
NY Post ^ | January 26, 2010 | Rich Lowry

Posted on 01/26/2010 3:13:47 AM PST by Scanian

Intending to die in the act of destroying a jetliner, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab instead landed alive in Detroit as a kind of message in a bottle from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He knew more about its recruiting, training and operations than anyone who is ever likely to fall into our arms babbling like a scared 23-year-old.

But the Obama administration shut him down. It didn't go so far as to tell the Customs and Border Protection officers to cover their ears and try not to listen when Abdulmutallab made incriminating statements on the initial ride to the hospital, but it came close. It had an FBI team inform Abdulmutallab of his right to remain silent, after which he predictably remained silent.

This is brazen self-sabotage. We are in a war of intelligence. People risk their lives every day to get the information to understand the terror networks arrayed against us and identify specific threats. Why would we pre-emptively silence a priceless source of timely intelligence?

Obama is failing his constitutional duty to protect the US. In fact Obama is a failure at everything.

We have a president with (at best) divided loyalties.

His loyalties are not divided , they are right there for anyone with eyes to see. The guy is a Muslim.

He is a traitor, plain and simple - it’s as if he finds a new way each day to betray our country. So he’s a success at that!

Holder and Obama needed to be arrested and the islamic sharia practice of punishment is off with the head. make an example that you mess with the people, the people will allow the sharia law that they so desire to have. Live by the Sharia die by the sharia. Impeachment and resignation are not good enough for these two Dumb and Dumber, at times it is interchangeable whom is which.

Because quite frankly, this administration and all its appointees are stupid - STUPID, STUPID, STUPID!

How is that different than "aiding and abetting" the enemy?

If Zero had half a brain he’d fire a good many people, but he won’t. Either they’re ideologically joined at the hip with him/or black, and Zero is a Marxist racist. Plus his/Holder’s decision to try terrorists in NYCity is enraging New Yorkers. The price tag is mind-boggling, just to mention one problem. Next election, the dems will lose big time.

In my mind, a lot of blocks are starting to fit in place ...

zero's position is to provide the cover needed for the Islamic element of takeover of America.

I believe evil forces are staging to assail the one nation that claimed Christ as sovereign without a religious politic as it's governor.

All other Christian nations (or are of a primarily Christian/religious politic .. i.e. Italy, Catholic .. etc.) ... but America stated from her beginning that Jesus was Lord and that the people would be free to recognize Him as such without a state or national influence.

Islam has become more powerful in recent years because of bold moves and political inroads to our American way of life.

Until we get to a point of deciding to follow the only obvious path of strategy ... it is spiritual warfare and we should follow God's plan for victory ... put on all of His armor and stand firm ... we are lost as a nation.


I believe standing firm is not a passive act ... I beleive to stand is to stand against , as in fighting back when attacked.

Political correctness is a tool from hell and should never be considered as part of our arsenal ... indeed ... it is a weapon used against us ... like sleeping gas ... wafted over the country, lulling many good people to inactivity.


Resist ... fight back .... we're all gonna' die someday anyway.

If we are looking for an Impeachable offense...here it is.

Although I gotta tell ya, the sounds of the terms "President Biden" or "President Pelosi" are light years worse, if that were even possible...

.......FOR ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.....

For Holder, for Gorelick, for Clinton, for all who were dissed by W who insisted on calling it war.

The action is petty retribution to win a debating point.

...alive, having toasted his willy rather than being blown up to meet his virgins - - perhaps the best justice we are going to see in this matter is being able to laugh at him. As I think about it now, I hope our justice system is not spending tax dollars to rebuild/repair this sub-human.

Yes ma'am.

Reached.

Crossed.

And they're dancing a jig on the other side.
