An Islamic terrorist named Faisal Shahzad is the Time Square bomber according to media reports. He is Muslim of Pakistani heritage with dual citizenship in the United States, a registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut who may be an Obama donor. He was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Obama administration’s lenient open door policy.
Shahzad Faisal as identified by NBC News, or Faisal Shahzad as identified by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, is a U.S. citizen of Pakistani origin. He was arrested at JFK airport in New York trying to flee the country back to Pakistan via a connector flight to Dubai, India on flight UAE 202. He was taken off the airplane sitting on the runway, promptly read his Miranda rights, and presumably went silent.
Obama’s policy of treating enemy combatants as common criminals has been much criticized outside of liberal intelligentsia. At least they got their man, but the free lawyers that us taxpayers are giving him will assure very little intelligence is gathered in this case.
The Obama Justice department has caused furor within law enforcement circles for being soft on terror. The method of apprehending this terrorist will simply increase the volume and scrutiny. The public asks why are terrorists getting arrested for criminal prosecution rather than detained and shipped to Guantanamo for military tribunals. Despite bad PR generated by liberal college professors and their allies, detaining terrorists in Guantanamo was one of the good ideas by the Bush Administration for U.S. security interests.
Faisal Shahzad was naturalized April 17th 2009, one of the early beneficiary of Obama’s liberal immigration policy that threw open the borders to treat all countries of origin alike. Two months later he was back in Pakistan, presumably meeting and plotting with terrorist allies there.
The slow motion war by Islamic fundamentalists marches on, unrecognized by the American political establishment, either through gross incompetence or pacification of radical voting groups for political expediency. Our leaders seem deaf and dumb to the threat against American interests and freedom.
Faisal Shahzad is a typical example if the charges are true, one of many who have attempted to cause terror among the populace, by lighting shoe bombs, underwear bombs, or blowing up cars in crowded urban centers. The current administration seems largely indifferent to the threat.
Faisal Shahzad had apparently been placed on the do-not-fly list earlier in the day, so a match was made against his passport when he tried to board an international airplane flight. This is a good win for the department of homeland security. We’ll leave the incompetence at preventing the attack for others to analyze.
Leads were easy in this case. A naive attempt was made to cover up the vehicle identification number on the Nissan Pathfinder loaded with explosives, by removing it from the inside door panel, but the number was left on the engine block. In addition, the purchase was made via CraigsList which left an electronic trail.
This is clearly a developing story for which more information will be forthcoming. We are still researching to understand if Faisal Shahzad was an Obama campaign donor. The Muslim community in the U.S. overwhelmingly supported the president’s 2008 election run. Stay tuned.
The Dims are going to destroy this country because of their political correctness and compassion for these enemy bastards!
Mayor Bloomberg,
In light of your comments to CBS Evening News Anchor Katie Couric where you implicated the Tea Party movement in the Times Square bomb attempt, when will you issue an apology?
After all President Obama has no problem apologizing.

The Feds knew about this guy beforehand.
How can that be. The msm experts said it was too amateurish to be an islamic terrorist because they’re too sophisticated for such a bomb.
After bin Laden took credit for the attempt it was speculated there might be an Al Qaeda connection. I was surprised bin Laden took credit for such an incompetent mass murder attempt but maybe he didn’t have the details yet. He hasn’t had much publicity lately. It also looks like when Faisal went back for training he paid more attention in religious indoctrination classes and slept through the murder classes.
My comment exactly this morning once I heard the news.
Bloomers and Couric, so perfect together. Same mind set same IQ.
Being rich doesn’t mean you have more than two brain cells to rub together.
Nice to know what Bloomers thinks of Americans who disagree with him and his hero the maoist.
thanks for ping.. always welcome by me to keep up with the news!
Evidently there was an unpublicized muslim demonstration in that area earlier in the day.
The msm is going to get us murdered with their sins of omission.
He was taken off the airplane sitting on the runway...
If he was on the do not fly list, how’d he even get on the plane???????????????
Well at least they got the male right.
well, while the media congratulates themselves and the NYPD ...
- the many “clones” of this guy (others “naturalized” out of Pakistan) are learning to set AM and PM on their clocks
- this guy was undetected by authorities ... they are incapable of stopping these attempts unless there is a lot of electronic traffic (even then, they can hide and act from within the US armed forces)
- it is almost as if Zero “wants” the next attack to happen - with a weak economy, any disaster (man-made or natural) would strain the US in ways we have not seen since the late 30’s ... Americans have no idea what luxury they live in
- Zero is the master of appeasement ... US is falling as fast as Iran is rising
Maybe they wanted to see who he made contact with.
“who may be an Obama donor”?
NO way man.
The bomber gots to be a white Christian, former military, Radical right wing tea party member.
Beltway Sniper Redux, “white man” in “white van.”
Give Bloomberg a piece of your mind...
No, Mayor Bloomberg is too busy screwing up the safe, orderly city that Rudy Guiliani left him to apologize for a stupid, blanket slander against the Tea Party folks. The bomb here was right out of the Al Qaeda playbook, almost identical to bombs set by Pakistani radicals in Britain and it was next to the Comedy Central offices. All these factors should have caused a reflective mayor to hold his comments on tax protesters, especially to the Queen of Bias, Katie Couric.
Except for a handful, are there any other type of donors in Connecticut?
