[E. Pluribus Unum]

Sounds like another Murrah, only this time the Feds didn't supply a real bomb.

[tractorman]

He was a protester not a terrorist.

[Steely Tom]

He allegedly told an undercover agent last month that he hoped the attack would disrupt the presidential election, saying "You know what, this election might even stop," according to the criminal complaint against him.

Gee, who would benefit from stopping the election?

Those crazy Amish...

[smokingfrog]

Has he been in contact with Ron Paul?

[Pontiac]

Prosecutors say Nafis met the agent Wednesday morning and put the bomb inside a van before driving to the Fed building, assembling the detonator while he drove.

I guess he really intended to be a suicide bomber.

Assembling a detonator in a moving vehicle is stupid but assembling a detonator while driving a moving vehicle is stupid to the point of a death wish.

Fortunately for this would be terrorist he was supplied in operable parts for his detonator. If they were real the probably would have blown up in his lap.

Dang, that beast has more chins than the Hong Kong phone book.

"During a recorded meeting in Central Park with the agent, Nafis said his goal was Muslim global domination

“I don’t want something that’s like small. I just want something big,” he said. “Something very big. Very very very very big, that will shake the whole country, that will make America, not one step ahead, change of policy, and make one step ahead, for the Muslims ... that will make us one step closer to run the whole world.”".

Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis

Does this mean he is sort of, but not really, Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis?

[RetiredTexasVet]

The FBI must be really scouring the internet to find these guys. Without the FBI’s help, does anyone really think this clown could have even found a hardware store, let alone build a bomb. This case sounds like a little too much like image building by the FBI.

That damned UTube video again.. When will it ever stop? :)

[wrench]

The guy likely can’t program a VCR, no way could he build a bomb. The gov’t is offering bombs for sale on the internet for the loonies gullible enough to think that is where to get them.

No sting, closer to entrapment.

[Wings-n-Wind]

These izzies have earned a black belt in 'gullible'...

This is sooooo easy.

No more visas, student or otherwise, from Bangeledesh, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Egypt, Libya and anybody else I may have left out.

[GenXteacher]

Hmm...1000 pound bomb, or qualitative easing....hard to tell which one does more damage.....

[irishtenor]

Quazi, ain’t it?

[stboz]

Another Muslim pacifist loses his virginity.

Islam is a disease.

[Iron Munro]

“Quazi Mohammad Rezwanul Ahsan Nafis” ?

It will be interesting to see how the Obama Media figure out a way to connect this Gomer to the Tea Party.
