clearly he was just some lone, aggrieved Nigerian man.

I think we're both wrong. Should be 'clearly he was just some lone, aggrieved Nigerian youth.

They should. This PC BS is bad no matter which president is involved.

Bush's administration was as touchy-feely as any democrap administration.

Bush responded to the 9-11 attack properly but then he, like Clintoon before and 0 since, tried to be friends with the ROP muzzies.

Epic FAIL all around.

"Sigh - now they are going to blame Bush..."

You knew that was coming. It will be interesting how Obama's team handles this piece of information. He has, after all, already released a fair share of terrorists himself, any one of which could turn up at some later date holding a bomb that actually works.

No surprise here. I swear, any muslim jihadist who fails to immediately provide useful intelligence should be gut-shot and thrown into a hog pen. Treating those rabid animals like human beings is not a sign of weakness...it is weakness. I wouldn’t waste cheap dog food keeping one of them alive if he failed to help kill a suitable number of his colleagues.

A long time back I was in a post graduate psychology program. It was full of bean counters and PC libtards. Mediating between statistics and half backed theories of ‘therapy’ sat a militant feminist as director. Needless to say, the classrooms were void of anything that could actually help someone. I remember thinking in my very first day of class, psychology is dead.

I don't believe a word of this. I really don't.

Makes you wonder.

Didn't Obama just tell us minutes ago that this was an isolated incident. Now we are told that we know there were four leaders behind the plot, that the plot was Al Qaeda and that two of the four leaders behind the plot were released by the previous administration to take arts & crafts in S.A..

Parole Board chairman: They’ve got a name for people like you H.I. That name is called “recidivism.”
Parole Board member: Repeat offender!
Parole Board chairman: Not a pretty name, is it H.I.?
H.I.: No, sir. That’s one bonehead name, but that ain’t me any more.

Seems like the ROP types are no better than H.I. (and a heck of a lot less funny).

Color me skeptical. Their reporting is no way near good enough to have uncovered this as fact.

As I couldn’t sleep a night or two ago (too much Christmas fun!) I read the DUmp. Oh my. There were a couple of poster over there extolling just that. And one who was convinced that the ‘Knickerbomber’ (I love Mark Steyn) was just mentally ill and that WE (the west) just didn’t ‘like’ his faith...so that is why even DUmpsters wanted him downed permanently.

It was awesome to read them devour their own.

This is the Obama administration recognizing that it is embarassing to them, but that they can’t find a way to reconcile it with their “crime” approach, rather than the “war on terror” approach. The fish rots from the head.

I agree with you - all of you - but I’m so sick of the blame game.

Isn’t there ANY one who will step up to the plate, that can win president, that will actually WORK a long day, demand an ethical and moral administration, and actually prioritize for the good of the whole nation?

just makes me sick...

Loved Mark Steyn today, I agree with him, why should any of us be put out for these jerks. Make all of them undress and experience discomfort!

They painted the most beautiful depictions of these two buildings tumbling to the ground with bodies falling beside them. It was very soothing for them.
