SNIPPET: “Well, Mr. President, maybe when you come to the city for a political fund-raiser today you can explain how you can allow cuts in funding to protect those of us who live, work and raise our kids in the terrorists’ bull’s-eye.
Cuts that come in the immediate aftermath of the attempted car bombing in Times Square.
Which came in the aftermath of the attempted bombings in the subway.
Which came in the aftermath of a dozen other attempted attacks.
Which came in the aftermath of the mass murder of thousands on 9/11.
All of which came before the next attempt, which is sure to come.”

SNIPPET: “He has a black heart - and a sweet tooth.
The Times Square terror suspect got $4,000 cash for his warped plot in a clandestine meeting at a Long Island Dunkin’ Donuts, sources told the Daily News on Thursday night.
Faisal Shahzad drove from Connecticut to the doughnut shop near the Ronkonkoma Long Island Rail Road station to pick up his blood money, the sources said.
The doughnut connection came on a day of fast-breaking developments in the probe - including the arrest of three Pakistani nationals.”
