Yup, he devotes 90% of his energy looking for people to blame. He really should look in a mirror and then go out to solving just ONE problem during his first and only regime.
Thank you CBP agent!!! That’s the second time one has made a critical stop.
This system obviously needs to be improved. Suppose this guy was carrying another of his homemade bombs on the plane?
The TSA and homeland security are passing the buck. He was discovered as I’m sure these flight’s manifest were triple checked JIT. What form of ID did he show TSA? At least they got him.
Its not fair to blame Obama!
He had a rough upbringing so we can’t put the responsibility on him, its NOT his fault!!!
Besides, Bush is the real reason for this failure!!!
/sarcasm in the extreme
in a sane country, maybe...
State Dept. Using ‘Diversity Visas’ to Encourage Immigration from Yemen
http://www.newmediajournal.us/government/01052010.htm
The State Department has awarded 1,011 special “diversity visas” allowing Yemeni nationals to immigrate to the United States since 2000, the year 17 US sailors were killed when the USS Cole was attacked by terrorists in the Yemeni port of Aden.
The “diversity visas” are designed to encourage immigration from countries that do not otherwise send significant numbers of immigrants to the United States.
The State Department roster of all countries whose nationals have received “diversity visas” to immigrate to the United States in 2010, for example, shows that 2 of these immigrants will be from Luxembourg, 3 from the Solomon Islands, 4 from French Guiana, 5 from Reunion, 6 from Cape Verde, 7 from Malta, 8 from Guinea-Bissau, 9 from Comoros, 10 from Suriname—and 72 from Yemen. Nationals of the four states listed by the State Department as state sponsors of terrorism—Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria—also received “diversity visas” from the State Department to immigrate to the United States in 2010. These include 98 from Syria, 298 from Cuba, 1,084 from Sudan, and 2,773 from Iran...

celebrate diversity!
Blame shifting.
This country isn’t going to hell in a handbasket.
It’s going to hell in a runaway locomotive.
Heck, I know enough to be suspicious of that one and they let him get by?
I feel so safe knowing the government is working hard to protect us.
excuse me while I go puke now.....
You mean 56 other states.
LOL. They’re blaming the airlines. Hilarious.
I have a similar story. I was out of the country (South America) when I got a phone call from my son to tell me that my 85 year old mother had fallen and broke her hip (a death sentence at her age....and sadly, it was). TSA patted me down so much that I almost started to enjoy it. I’m 67 years old, greying blond and blue-eyed....a typical granny. The whole time I watched many dark swarthy types (AKA Muslims) sail right through security screening.
They did not check behind my earlobes though.
Train from Grand Central Station?
In that neighborhood of Bridgeport, anyone would help him for $20 to buy their crack.
Now we are importing terrorists from “diversity-favored” nations!
This is sheer insanity!
The party of “blame everyone else” strikes again. And this goes without saying, because it’s also the party of “you don’t have to be responsible”.
That is the cornerstone for the modern democrat. Blame others and accept no responsibility. Screw around and get pregnant? Have an abortion - you’re not responsible. Take out a mortgage you can’t pay for? You’re not responsible - we;ll make someone else pay for it.
Of course, the government will take care of you.
Thank you George W. Bush for the improvements in the system that enhanced the abilities of those involved in the capture of this scumbag.
Oh the tangled webs they weave. According to a Bloomberg story, a Saudi resident returning from a business tip described how the aircraft was turned back to the terminal as it taxied for take-off.
Obama knows all about dropping balls!
TSA just checks the validity of the identification used to enter the secure area at the gate. There is no way for the people running airport security to check names against the do not fly list. The actual comparison of names to the do not fly list is done through a computer program when tickets are entered.
...and the airline usually has the final say over whether a passenger with a name on the do not fly list can board. Usually, it just involves someone who has the same name as someone on the list.
It would be possible for a sympathetic person at Emirates to override the do not fly list.
Blame anything and everything to deflect from the sheer ineptness and incompetence of this Jack Squat administration when it comes to its handling of terrorism, among other things..... =.=
