I don’t think Obama orchestrated it but I do think he is trying to use this situation to manipulate the news cycle and change the subject from the economy and the failure of his policies. How long did it take him to speak about that Chistmas day bomber again? How hard did he try to convince us that the Fort Hood shooter had no ties to islamic terrorists? How long did it take him to respond to the BP oil spill?

Not to mention, taking the focus off the never-ending commentary about the coming tsunami.

No, they will think about the fact that this world is too damned dangerous to be run by Democrats.

AMEN!!

At some point, it will become obvious to even Democrats that besides packages, we must stop importing PEOPLE from Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Saudi, Algeria

No more travel to the USA for people from those countries.

I don’t know but it is interesting that the white powder in the cartridge was the same powder used by the Christmas panty bomber.

First, I don’t see anyone defending Obama’s moral integrity—so we all basically accept that he would manipulate something like this if he believed it would benefit him.

Clearly, Obama will do anything to soften the political blow of the Teanami.

Nothing about the Chicago Thug Club gives us the slightest reason to expect that Obama is somehow morally constrained against making use of terror threats as a distraction technique, or doing something unspeakable for political gain.

On the contrary, Obama would go out of his way to find something like this to manipulate in his favor. Have you completely forgotten about the Rahm Theory of Crisis Management?

When it comes to looking out for the next crisis on the horizon, these Obama people are like crack whores after a five dollar bill.

Yesterday, it was reported that some of the bombs were intended for Chicago synagogues. That seems a very roundabout way of attacking a synagogue. Maybe this means that American jihadists still don’t have bomb-making skills.

Ridiculous, isn't it? Who ever hatched up this scheme needs to be fired. "OOOh, I know, let's have 25+ "bombs" shipped in from Yemen via UPS and we will pretend to intercept them just in time."

That would be easier than sending 72 virgins on Farve airlines.

What is ‘looney’ is anyone on this forum that would believe anything that Obama says. No-one is saying that AQ is not real. What is not real is the part of the story about what Obama knew and when he knew it.

“It’s easy to see what sort of manipulations and schemes they have been utilizing all along—just look at their accusations. Chamber of Commerce, anyone?”

You said it better than me bump! (grin)

Three words ZXero will never say: Muslim terrorist threat.

The Brits are more realistic:

Prime Minister David Cameron said the device found on a plane at East Midlands Airport was apparently designed to blow the aircraft out of the sky.

He said: “We believe that the device discovered was designed to go off on the aeroplane. We cannot be sure about the timing when that was mean to take place.

“There is no early evidence it was designed to take place over British soil, but of course we cannot rule that out.”

Speaking at Chequers ahead of a meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, he added: “In the end these terrorists think that our interconnectedness, our openness as modern countries is what makes us weak.

“They are wrong - it is a source of our strength, and we will use that strength, that determination, that power and that solidarity to defeat them.”

“Was this another attack by the nasty Norwegian Lutherans?”

It has all the earmarks. Caused by a shortage of lutefisk, no doubt.

With extra charges tacked on for ridiculously over-wrought hyperbole.

And a memo to the Department of Redundancy Department re "panicked state of fear" and "contrived fake."

Who knows if this is real or cooked up, but here’s who DOES benefit- TSA & Homeland Security. This all come just days after the head of British Airways and others in Europe had the audacity to say publicly that US security procedures are way overblown and it’s time to reevaluate the need for so much screening.

Actually I am in complete agreement. I have not flown since 9-11 because of so much public screening amounting to nothing more than smoke and mirrors, because security in name only, does NOT involve what it must, to protect the innocent, and that is to TARGET the guilty. All this to me, means someone is not taking this seriously as it should and needs to be.

Perhaps a new christian nation in the heart of the middle east. Populated by ousted democrats to make of it what they will. I guess we would have to strike that “new Christian nation”, but nevertheless...

You do realize that those two options are incompatible, but I do like the idea.

Thus the “strike that” comment, except I didn’t make it real clear that if ousted democrats were being sent there it couldn’t be very Christian.
