Perhaps we need an election every month just so Obama will actually start caring about US citizens for a change.

Not that Im a cynic or anything, but is this some sort of manufactured October Surprise? I must be the same kind of almost-cynic... The timing of the "discovery" and interception of these packages is awfully suspect. How the Dems in power try to make political hay from it will tell us more...
If these really are part of a genuine bombing attempt, and not some fabrication (a-la "wag the dog") then it really only shows us one thing: Former President Bush was right, and that husseing obama is a naive idiot and fool for thinking extremists worldwide would turn over a new leaf just because of his patter.

The last I heard, warehouses in the US storing obsolete printer cartridges were selling them to agents (people who buy up obsolete things) and in turn were reselling them to the mideast and India, etc. There are people who merchandize all sorts of things so the junk is all over the world.
Who knows what they do with all the stuff. . . bombs, start up businesses (terrorist training centers), etc...
When they start shipping back what we sent to them, there may be stuff inside the junk. : )

They better not be fooling around with my iPAD shipment!!!
Really, there should be fingerprints and all sorts of tracking info, payment info etc. Some muzzie is in a HEAP of trouble.
Too bad the CIA and SEALS can’t run a covert op on his butt...
FUBO!

Perhaps a new christian nation in the heart of the middle east. Populated by ousted democrats to make of it what they will.You do realize that those two options are incompatible, but I do like the idea.

“And not one word regarding the targets of these bombs: Jews. Where is Obama defending the Jewish people?”
It is actually worse than that. Yesterday, the Homeland Security Department put out a warming to ‘all churches,mosques and synagogues’..even though they already knew that only the jews were targeted in this so called plot.

Exactly! Wonder where he is right now. Bet he is not hunkered down with his so called security team.

But who knows ... maybe the bad guys just thought it was a clever thing to try; and at the very least they'll have succeeded in significantly disrupting the smooth workings of FedEx and UPS.

News of suspicious packages arriving from Yemen plundered the country into a panicked state of fear Friday morning. "Plundered?" Somebody needs to be arrested as a language terrorist. With extra charges tacked on for ridiculously over-wrought hyperbole.

That was my first thought, particularly when it was announced Barry was going to give a presser on it all.

24 ADDITIONAL bombs is not believable. It’s a set-up. It’s like Biden playing darts, but he throws the dart first, and then draws his own bulls-eye around the dart, i.e., he hits his own target EVERY SINGLE TIME this way. There’s no other way we’d know this much, this soon.

Pre-election redirection. Obama: "Please give me a crisis so that I can look presidential ...before I go pray in the mosque in India."
To: SE Mom
So how exactly are these ‘bombs’ detonated?
