Hmmm, I didn’t know that they had a Tea Party group in Pakistan. Better tell Mayor Bloomberg to round up the usual suspects.

Their whole story is falling apart. First, it was a “white” guy, probably angry over Obamacare. Then it was a U.S. citizen of Pakistani origins who acted alone. He’d just lost his home and probably was upset.

Now that they know there are more people from Pakistan involved, are they ready to call it terrorism yet?

They actually have called it terrorism!

But so far are still pushing the “lone gunman” theory

They can't see the grassy knoll yet

Evidently the Jihadists in Pakistan are upset with Obamacare. I am soooooo glad Major Bloomberg is smack dab on top of this. /s

Will be interesting to see if the arrests in Pakistan are just window dressing to deflect attention away from Pakistan’s role as the centre of terrorist exports, or whether there is a genuine connection with the Times Square bomber. Something about this smacks of a Casablanca style, “round up the usual suspects”. The guy obviously had terrorist links in Pakistan, but the arrests seem a bit too quick to be genuine.
