Warning of 26 more suspect packages after attempted mail bombings (Obama lets Al-Qaeda get up)
MSNBC ^ | 10/30/2010 | msnbc

After intercepting two mail bombs addressed to Chicago-area synagogues, investigators are searching for two dozen more suspect packages that terrorists in Yemen attempted to smuggle onto aircraft in a brazen al-Qaida terror plot. Authorities on three continents thwarted the attacks when they seized explosives on cargo planes in the United Arab Emirates and England on Friday. The plot sent tremors throughout the U.S., where after a frenzied day searching planes and parcel trucks for other explosives, officials temporarily banned all new cargo from Yemen. Several U.S. officials said they were increasingly confident that al-Qaida's Yemen branch, the group behind the failed Detroit airliner bombing last Christmas, was responsible. A Yemeni security official said the new investigation involved about 26 suspected packages.

Oh, this is so scary. I am so frightened. Please Obama protect us from the evil doers.

This is the height of absurdity. The idea that anyone believes any of this, at face value, is what is unnerving.

Let’s see. We are in the midst of a global communist coup. Two days before a pesky election rejecting their agenda, big bad al queda surfaces with some lame plot to ship bombs from Yemen to synagogues. And people,even Freepers, are actually thinking this is legit? Come on....

Does Yemen have a branch of Al Quaeda or IS Yemen a branch of Al Quaeda.

I believe the second to be true, that Yemen and Al Quaeda are one and the same. The same can be said for Lebanon.

It isn’t the deems, it is the globalists. Likely imam o got a call telling him the plan and what his role was.

If this is the best the globalists got, or maybe they just think we are all really , really stupid. Cuz this is one sorry storyline.

enemies of any nation will try to influence their target nation's elections. They have in our previous elections. The question is what is AQ’s goal this year? To give a certified incompetent president a chance to look presidential??

The question not asked is why is Dear Leader out campainging instead of managing the security breach?

The next question is if Pres. Bush mimicked dear leaders behavior in this situation what would the MSM chorus be?

Yeah, that'll get the weenie left to turn out in droves while supressing the patriot vote. /s

Nice to fantasize about a 120 seat R pickup, though.
