This was no guy with backpacks. He brought a car filled with what he thought was explosives, parked it under a 60-story skyscraper, and activated the trigger. We're lucky the FBI got ahead of him or we'd have another bombing like the first attempt on the WTC, maybe OK City.

But wait a minute. I thought Obama has reached out to Muslims and all that crap. Why would they want to attack us?

If there is any suggestion that this man was inspired by Chris Matthews or the anti American environment Chris Matthews fosters then Chris Matthews should be tried for incitement of terrorism and if found guilty given the death sentence. IMO.

Allegedly?

Either he did or he didn’t in this case.

Maybe it’s just me, but it seems like the domestic explosive market is becoming like MySpace for pedophiles - every kid on MySpace is a cop, and everybody selling explosives on the black market is a fed.

Just my feeling...it seems like they’re doing good work in this area.

According to a press release, Smadi is in the United States illegally and had been living and working in Italy, Texas.

He told them he came to the country specifically to commit violent Jihad "for the sake of God."

Thanks for nothing, McCain and Bush.

Maybe. This particular guy doesn't sound like the sharpest knife in the drawer.

The VBIED (Vehicle-Born Improvised Explosive Device) apparently was supplied by the undercover FBI agents that were pretending to be a "sleeper cell".

The guy was reportedly making online pronouncements about conducting terrorist attacks, and the FBI reeled him in like a fish on a hook.

I have family that live in a high end city in a US state and all of their neighbors are from Jordon. The neighbors rarely leave the house, they have sports cars and live high end and the women say they will all leave soon. Then I saw a news article in the same city of a Jordanian who stole billions from many US banks as a line of credit con and he disappeared.

Financial and physical destruction?

No one will say anything because it is profiling.

Undercover agents posing as members of an al-Qaida sleeper cell were introduced to him and they said he made clear his intention to serve as a soldier for Osama Bin Ladin and al-Qaida . . . FBI agents said they secretly ensured Smadi had only an inactive explosive device which contained no explosive materials.

Smadi had been under continuous FBI surveillance and was arrested after he allegedly placed and tried to detonate an inactive car bomb near Fountain Place, a 60-story glass office tower located at 1445 Ross Avenue, the FBI said.

A round of beers says that he sues because his rights were violated, and wins.
