Thank you, O.
I think we have some real “pucker” times and events ahead of us.....especially with all these “isolated terrorists” trying to be bloomer bombers.
Oops, I meant “isolated extremists”.......but I guess they are the same thing.
Security agencies in Britain are investigating reports that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the young Nigerian accused of attempting to blow up a transatlantic airliner, contacted radical Muslims while studying at university in London, The Independent understands.
Mohammed Mutallab, a cousin of the arrested man, has claimed that the 23-year-old came under the influence of extremist groups while in this country, and associates claim he visited the East London Mosque, which has attracted criticism for hosting Muslim hardline preachers, three times.

Al-Qaeda group in Yemen gaining prominence
Monday, December 28, 2009
SNIP from article:
The branch, known as AQAP, is still a work in progress, officials and analysts said. It is led by a new generation of Yemeni and Saudi militants keen on transforming Yemen into a launching pad for jihad against the United States, its Arab allies and Israel.
They have used Yemen's vast stretches of ungoverned, rugged terrain; loose-knit tribal structures and codes; widespread sympathy for al-Qaeda; and animosity toward U.S. policies to lure new recruits and set up training bases.

Flight 253 jihadist linked to Fort Hood jihadist's imam
Who was the sharply dressed man? And where is he now?
Flight 253 jihadist's device part of "body bomb" trend from Arabian Peninsula
**** UPDATE: It is now 6:05 p.m., ET, and a series of reports on this just aired on Local 4/WDIV, Detroit’s NBC affiliate. Reporter Frank Holland just did a story, in which he quoted several passengers aboard today’s NWA Flight 253 as saying that, in Amsterdam, prior to boarding the flight, the “Nigerian businessman” who was just “ill” could not answer questions about why he was traveling to the United States.
As the late Paul Harvey would say...”and now, for the rest of the story.”
Just shaking head
WASHINGTON -- The State Department says counterterror agencies were warned that the Nigerian man who allegedly tried to blow up an airliner Christmas Day may be under extremists' influence. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly says it was up to the National Counterterrorism Center to block 23-year-old Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from entering the United States. He says U.S. counterterror agencies received the information on Nov. 20, a day after it was provided by the father, but it was not enough to revoke the visa.
All are intensive care...right.
Radical Muslims are using our court system to try to silence those who expose their terrorist connections. They've done it in Europe and Canada - and now they're trying it here in America. In the case of investigative reporter Joe Kaufman, they're not giving up - even though their case is completely bogus. After two years of defending Joe, we are now facing yet another challenge. I'm writing to you as a member of the Freedom Center to ask you to help pay for Joe's defense. Seven Muslim groups claim that Joe is a threat. They convinced a court that Joe "intends to threaten to take unlawful action...cause bodily injury...or threaten Plaintiffs or their members with immediate bodily injury."
We have been defending Joe from this lawsuit since 2007 - thanks to the financial support we've received from our members
Joe reports and writes for my website FrontPage Magazine and for his own websites. He has never threatened a Muslim in his life. But he has exposed facts they want to hide. The reason Joe Kaufman is being targeted by these Muslim groups is that he monitors web sites run by Muslim charitable organizations, and he has identified money trails leading from some of these groups to terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah.
This is a case of national importance. Radical Muslims are watching it carefully. They have learned well from their partners on the Left, who use the court system to stifle freedom and attempt to bankrupt lovers of liberty! And they have almost unlimited funds to keep fighting as long as they have a hope. We need to keep fighting back. We cannot let these groups succeed.
Just heard per FNC that CIA knew since august about this threat! And his father reported him THREE times to the Embassy
I heard that too...on CNN. What the heck is going on?
Throughout 2009, U.S. law-enforcement agencies worked successfully to prevent catastrophic attacks. The following are some of the major domestic investigations of jihadist terror and some of the alleged targets:
Synagogue and National Guard base. On May 20, the FBI and New York Police Department arrested four radical Muslims for plotting to bomb a New York synagogue using improvised explosive devices with C-4 plastic explosives and to shoot down a military plane using a Stinger missile. According to the complaint in the case, the accused terrorists were interested in killing Jews and destroying U.S. aircraft at an Air National Guard base.
"I hate those motherf***ers, those f***ing Jewish bastards," fumed James Cromitie, the alleged ringleader. After lamenting that the "best target," the World Trade Center, had already been destroyed, Cromitie said he would like to attack a synagogue. The complaint quotes would-be co-conspirator Onta Williams as stating that the U.S. military is "killing Muslim brothers and sisters in Muslim countries so, if we kill them here with IEDs and Stingers, it is equal."

After BO’s blah blah too much, too little, too late showboating, one thing’s certain Pal, if he’s admitting what he is, what the hay truly was plotted? He made stringent airline rules for 3 days, so in my mind they expected more attacks in that time frame minimally
