I want a pony. (And a government grant to feed him.)

Probably a softer target. Not as much police presence as LaGuardia, Kennedy, Newark or Westchester Co. Airports.

They were plotting to blow up a plane at the airport in Newburgh? Why?

Also the only local airport with a military wing.

From some frikkin' website called "Religious Diversity News" (plurality.com) four years ago, news of THIS from the terrorists' embedded sleeper community in New York:

Newburgh Mosque Expands to Meet Growth (New York) Aug 29, 2005 Poughkeepsie Journal On August 29, 2005 the Poughkeepsie Journal reported, "As more Muslim families have made the mid-Hudson Valley their home, the crowd at Masjid Al Ikhlas has swelled at Friday prayer services. With almost 500 members, the tiny mosque is no longer large enough to support its growing congregation and plans have been made to double its size. On Sunday, local Muslims celebrated their plans for a larger mosque with a groundbreaking ceremony and picnic. Mosque leaders handed their shovels to the youngest worshippers, deferring to them to break the ground... The initial phase of construction will more than double the mosque's size to 6,750 square feet, including a large dome based on a mold made for the Masjid Al-Noor in Wappingers Falls, Rehman said... Along with its religious functions, members envision its use as a meeting place and community hall, as well as a soup kitchen for the needy " both Muslim and non-Muslim "in the immediate Newburgh area."

I pray they never do a remake, but you know they will, and it will suck.

They weren’t just planning to use a Stinger, they had one, we have recovered it.

Speechless. I'm pretty sure that Stingers have friend-or-foe recognition software and wouldn't work on airliners, but still chilling.

Correction, the Stinger was a missile that we provided as part of the Sting.

It's like the Shias and the Sunnis...

Except the VFW and AL really do have armed people show up at weddings! And the competition for beer distributors can be brutal. Don't even get started about those dances and potlucks....

I am glad they foiled the plot..but now we will have to hear Obama crow about it. At least it will be more fodder to use against his idea of releasing these people in the US.

One good thing to promote. They knew about this group for a year. There were others in charge back then.
