I have $10 that says he apologizes to someone or something for “our failed policies of the past”.

I read reports an Israeli company (ICTS) was responsible for security at the Amsterdam airport.

This was posted on their website:

Important Notice, 28 December 2009

Following the terrorist attack on DL/NW Flight 253 on 25 December 2009 , there have been incorrect reports linking ICTS Europe to the event.

We would like to make it clear that ICTS Europe Holdings B.V. is not connected in any way to the mentioned events. ICTS Europe does not provide any security services, nor any other services, whether directly or indirectly, at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport and is not connected in any way to any of the companies that provide security services at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport.

Operating in many other airports across Europe and worldwide, ICTS Europe Holding B.V. continues to work tirelessly with our clients and the authorities to ensure that the new, enhanced security measures are implemented efficiently and with the utmost regard to customer service.

1) The system was put in place 2-3 years ago, under George Bush. Clearly, this attack was Bush’s fault as frankly we’re too busy to fight the war on terror, heck, we don’t even use the word terrorist.

I had that picture of President Bush on my page for a couple years. The troops were so happy to see him. It was a surprise visit. The troops went nuts. It was Thanksgiving 2003, at that time, my kids were in basic training at Ft. Leonard Wood.

I thought Obama’s foreign policy of negotiating with terrorists to make them like us was going to eliminate these attacks???

Odd, the attacks are increasing in frequency in direct relation to Obama’s peace awards and “dreams” of a utopia where everyone loves him and thus would not have the audacity to attack us.

These were the same people who were upset because, upon hearing of the attacks on 9/11, Bush didn’t run screaming in fear from the elementary school classroom like his jock was on fire.

He ends with: “I’m confident that history will be on the side of those who seek justice.”

This reminds me of shortly after 9/11, when President Bush had a service at National Cathedral, and a Muslim Imam said, "The evildoers will be punished." It turned out (according to a William Safire column) that he was an extremist and in his argot we were the evil-doers and the terrorists were the heros.

I'm sure that President Obama believes that "history will be on the side of those who seek justice," but I wonder who he believes seeks justice.

Today he performed sans tie in an attempt to smooth things over with the “extremists”.

...and the terrorist is charged with attempted destruction of an aircraft? How about the attempted murder of innocent people there ZerO??

It's as if he attempted to destroy an empty plane sitting in a hanger.

BTW, I believe max penalty for "attempted destruction of an aircraft" is only 20 years.

Maybe Michigan can charge attempted murder x 300+ passengers and crew? Surely that will be more than 20 years?

Oops....Nevermind....MI is run by rats.

I could see it as a secondary charge, but how about straight up terrorism and murder charges? Total insanity going on.

“Did he even issue any sort of statement on Christmas?”

If he did, I missed it/s I did note that today he mentioned that the passengers onboard that flight were on their way to celebrate “the holidays”. WHAT HOLIDAY, OBAMA??? Chanukah is over, and there are no muslim, Buddhist or Hindu holidays right now. That Communist freak cannot even bring himself to say “Christmas”!
