NWA Bomb Plot: NBC Plays D For O
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 12/27/2009 7:04:36 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Pres. Obama should find time in his busy vacation schedule to drop a palm-trees-and-sandy-beaches thank you postcard to NBC. On this morning's Today, successive network staffers defended the administration's [mis]handling of the Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab matter.

First, terrorism expert Roger Cressey [who usually plays it straight], claimed there wasn't enough information to "connect the dots" and move young Umar from the "watch list" to the "no-fly" list. Really? The guy's father, a respected international banker, was so concerned about his son's extremist Islamist views that he took the unusual measure of personally contacting the US embassy with a warning. Dots? How about a huge exclamation point!?

Next, John Harwood backhands GOP criticism of the Obama admin's national security policy as "partisan."

Classic Obama Blame Somebody Else——

In this case the terrorist’s Father gets blamed-—
“””U.S. authorities told The Associated Press that the suspect came to the attention of intelligence officials in November when his father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, went to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, to discuss his concerns about his son’s religious beliefs. One government official said the father did not have any specific information that would put his son on the “no-fly list” or on the list for additional security checks at the airport. Nor was the information sufficient to revoke Abdulmutallab’s visa to visit the United States. It was granted in June 2008 and valid through June 2010.””””

Don’t let them fool you. The media outside the country is reporting that we’ve known about him for two years rather than the two weeks that some msm is reporting today.

We should expect nothing else. Hussein appointed as his director of homeland security the governor of the state with the most porous border. What could possibly go wrong?

Where there is smoke there is fire. I bet there is more to this story. After Napolitano said “the system worked” there is something else going on.

The first thing we should start investigating as well as the Republicans should start investigating is did Napolitano and the Obama Administration drop profiling Muslims on the watch list. This is the start of this.

We need to get rid of this administration as fast as possible.

The incompetence of Barack Hussein Obama and his Black Muslim Presidency:

1. Obama’s FBI did not alert the ARMY that Maj Nidal Hassan was a Muslim Extremist.

2. Obama’s State Dept did nothing to revoke Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab’s VISA after Abdul’s father told the US Embassy that his son was a MUSLIM Extremist.

Now this same incompetent Black Muslim Presidency want to manage our HEALTHCARE!!!!!!!!!!!

NBC News is selling compact disc recordings of Barry’s election and swearing in as president.

You may be right,but the thought of dying for the glory of Bro probably doesn't trouble them. The media are all in for Odouchebag and the ‘Rats, so giving their lives to deflect blame from Obama is probably what they live for anyway.

We’ve had two terrorist attacks on American soil in the last month. One was successful because the victims had been disarmed by the government. The second was unsuccessful because a bystander broke the rules and left his seat and had to risk his own life because our government was too incompetent to protect him from a known terrorist sympathizer who was not screened because of political correctness.

I predict that if and when that day comes, Obama will be as quiet as a churchmouse. You won't even know he exists for a surprisingly long period of time. The media won't go looking for him; they won't even mention his name. He won't be heard from until the liberal Hive has gathered enough information that they can figure out how to spin it. If that takes two or three days, that's how long it'll take to hear form Obama.

The Left had better wake up! When the terrorist strike it won’t just be conservatives that die!!

This Bunch has given the green light to a terrorist attack to further their agenda! IMO
