Hoekstra Quickly Politicizes Attempted Terrorist Attack, Suggests Obama’s Clueless On National Security
Hoekstra Quickly Politicizes Attempted Terrorist Attack, Suggests Obama’s Clueless On National Security
Yesterday, the White House announced that there had been “an attempted act of terrorism” aboard a trans-Atlantic Northwest Airlines flight arriving from Amsterdam as it was preparing to land in Detroit. The suspect — identified as a 23-year old Nigerian man named Abdul Farouk Umar Abdulmutallab — “certainly thought he was trying to take down the plane,” according to a White House official.
The suspect reportedly had explosive powder taped to his leg and tried to light it on fire. He told investigators he was given the device by al Qaeda operatives in Yemen. “This guy claims he is tied to al Qaeda, specifically in Yemen,” the official said. “He claims he was on orders from al Qaeda in Yemen. Who knows if that’s true?”
Two passengers aboard the plane noticed the attempted attack, and “a third person jumped on the man and subdued him, an airline official told NBC News.” Flight attendants ran to get the fire extinguisher and the fire was soon doused. One passenger, Syed Jafry, remarked, “It was the time to be proud to be an American for sure.”
Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI), the ranking member on the House intelligence committee and current candidate for governor of Michigan, saw an opportunity to score quick political points:
“It’s not surprising,” U.S. Rep. Pete Hoekstra, a Holland Republican, said of the alleged terrorist attempt to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight in Detroit. … “People have got to start connecting the dots here and maybe this is the thing that will connect the dots for the Obama administration,” Hoekstra said. [...]
Hoekstra hadn’t yet been briefed on the incident but said he is already calling or the Obama administration to meet with Intelligence Committee members to fully inform them about the alleged terrorism attempt at the Detroit airport.
In an effort to try to prove his case for why the Obama administration is failing to “connect the dots,” Hoekstra issued this condemnatory tweet last night:
While Hoekstra hadn’t been briefed, his colleague Rep. Peter King (R-NY) was. And King — the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee — wasted no time alerting the media to much of what he was told. King rushed to Fox and CNN last night to begin issuing blame against security officials who allowed the suspect to board. “His name was in a database indicating significant terrorist connections,” King said, adding, “I’m not trying to be a Monday morning quarterback here…but let’s see what was missed.”
The Obama administration announced that “additional security measures are being taken in response to the incident, without raising the airline threat level.”

December 26th, 2009 at 8:15 amYes–the President did not check this passenger before he boarded the plane. It is his fault.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:23 amThe repucks can hardley cover their hard-ons over this one. Another of Cobrurn the PIMP’s, prayers has been answered.
As long as Hoaxstra is scoring, has he bothered to measure the number of American terrorist victims while his party was on watch compared to the number of American terrorist victims while anybody else was on watch?
December 26th, 2009 at 8:31 amWell, this sounds like another nut acting on his own. How brainless can you be to set yourself on fire, what did he think was going to happen? The only thing he would have done to the plane, was burn up in his seat. He could have hurt a few people around him, but as far as bringing the plane down, that wouldn’t have happened. The plane was already on approach and had its landing gear down when the nut stared to burn.
If this is all al-Qaeda has, I think we may have to rethink the threat they pose. I guess this guys hero must have been the shoe bomber.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:31 amSo, the vote down baby, by voting me down, must be saying he/she/it supports the terrorist and his attempt to burn the plane down.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:35 amIt wouldn’t surprise me in the least if Hoekstra knows the Nigerian terrorist. Just saying…
December 26th, 2009 at 8:36 amAnd wasn’t it under the Bush Regime that allowed small amounts of liquids and lighters to be brought on planes AFTER banning them after 9/11? Yes, I think so!
December 26th, 2009 at 8:37 amPlease tell me what a Holland Republican is? Is is of Dutch ancestry? He represents Holland (in what state of the Union might that be)?
OK, then, how about this: on whose watch did Reid try to ignite his shoes?
December 26th, 2009 at 8:37 amCarolannie, you have to remember….what happened on George Bush’s watch was Bill Clinton’s and President Obama’s fault. See? This is the theory of the conservatives and they’re sticking to it!
December 26th, 2009 at 8:42 amHow is this any different from Richard Reed (the “shoe bomber) that tried almost the exact same thing on Bush’s watch???
I didn’t hear Hoekstra blaming that incident on “Bush’s incompetence”.

You can never live that down, repugs. No wonder they’re praying for another terrorist attack. Sick minded people they all are. Every last one of them.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:44 am“Attempted terrorist attack. Oh, really now. Do they give the Nobel Prize for ‘Attempted Chemistry’?”
Poor Pete. Like any and every politician using social media, they fail to grasp how thoroughly ridiculous and uninformed they come off when posting on Twitter or Facebook.
And Hoekstra’s still lagging in the polls. He’s giving up his position as ranking member on the House Intelligence Committee to further his political career. Sure sounds like someone is putting self before the security of the country and playing politics with national security.

Yo Congressman Dorkstra. Was Barack in Amsterdam doing pat downs of all the passengers on this flight? Is that how its his fault? Seems to me if anyone is at “fault” its the lax security in the Amsterdam airport. Or, come to think of it, the airline itself.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:04 amKing rushed to Fox and CNN last night to begin issuing blame against security officials who allowed the suspect to board.
– - You can always depend on King for terrorist hysteria. And you have to wonder why someone named Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab who’s on a no-fly list could have gotten through security with an explosive contraption strapped to his leg.
Or are we only as safe as the Nigerian TSA equivalent allows us to be?
December 26th, 2009 at 9:16 amThis half-assed attempt should not distract us from the real terrorist danger today-that from our domestic, deranged right-wing. The passage of healthcare is probably stoking the nutjobs into paroxysms of rage and resentment, into a period of maximum derangement, and I hope those protecting Obama, Reid, and Pelosi are on their toes.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:19 amMerry Christmas Dick Cheney!

Freeboy, any chance you could stay on topic or is that to hard for that brain of yours?
December 26th, 2009 at 9:46 amThis failed attack is apparently a reaction to the Obama administration pressure on the Yemeni terrorists. In that way this shows that Obama is having success in fighting these guys. As far as the Republicans are concerned, they will of course try to make political hay out of it like they did with the Somali pirates, until Obama had the Navy seals take the pirates out. Then they shut up.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:49 amI am so tired of this grand standing. Do these idiots stand on the street corner and shriek because the police don’t stop every murder, every kidnapping, robbery, rape and crime? If the terrorist threat is as huge as they claim the fact that they got one bozo through a foreign airport tells me that there are lots of good law enforcement people out there doing their jobs.
And a handful of nervous nellies who wet themselves every time a dog barks.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:52 amSeems the new approach isn’t proving any less annoying to the readers….
December 26th, 2009 at 9:52 amRepugs are eager for a terrorist attack on this nation for their political gain.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:54 amSo this passenger was on the list, but neither the Nigerian nor the Amsterdam security stopped him — of course this is Obama’s fault!

Worst terrorist attack on American soil: Under bush’s watch
Didn’t you hear…..last month dana perino stated that no terrorist attacks happened on gw bush’s watch. All these rethugs are living in their own demented delusions. They lost in 08. Let’s keep it that way.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:56 amHmmm…We are still waging Bush’s war on terrorism around the globe. We are still waging war in and occupying two countries that were initiated by the Bush administration. We are using the Bush FISA laws, Patriot Acts I & II are still around, yet we still have attempted terrorist attacks in our country.
Perhaps it was the Bush regime who was absolutely clueless about National Security. Perhaps Obama is following in his cluelessness by waging all out war on countries, instead of organizations who commit the crime of murder threw the act of terrorism.
One thing for certain is that during President Obama’s first nine months, we didn’t have a 9/11 type of attack in our country and the latest attempt was defused (no pun intended).
It’s kind of hard for the republicans to criticize a democratic president who for the most part has kept us safe and has also continued Bush’s method of war and surveillance.
December 26th, 2009 at 9:57 amthrew = through
December 26th, 2009 at 9:58 amCan these people wait a day before the attacks begin?
Whatever happened to “goodwill on earth”?

then why not go and focus on those folks not the folks that will in be?
December 26th, 2009 at 10:03 amHistory still shows us that 9/11 occurred under the watch of GWBush, who ignored all the warnings. History still shows that the unsolved anthrax attack occured under GWBush watch. History still shows that Reid tried to set his shoes on fire under the watch of GWBush. History still shows that under GWBush, lighters are again allowed on planes.
I say history still shows, because I expect the repugs to complete their re-write of history within the next three years, and all of this will no longer be true.
The 2000 Millennium threats that were thwarted by Clinton will to be credited to GWBush. The terrorism that occurred under GWB will be ascribed to Clinton and Carter, maybe even JFK. The terrorism attack that didn’t occur yesterday will be associated with Obama for a hundred years.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:03 amFUN FACT: World terrorism tripled under Bush II’s watch.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:04 amKing and Hoekstra. Two giant, useless, America-raping Peters.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:09 amEvery time one of these pinheads goes off, someone should play them the tape of Bush reading the pet goat on 9/11, sitting there stupified for 10 minutes. That’s your boy, Hoekstra.

December 26th, 2009 at 10:10 amGeorge Bush didn’t get Osama so that means he’s to blame for all terrorist attacks on our nation.

Incidentally nowhere was the explaination of the data set suggested to be the result of “disenchantment”. That was added leter for effect…
December 26th, 2009 at 10:24 amIt was a crop of republicans who stopped him. And Chuck Norris was there too. His natural ability to be strong on defense kicked in when he helped subdue the terrorist. Get ‘em all on Fox News and emphasize their republican credentials (even if they don’t fess up). We are salivating for a quick return to power and will arrogantly brush aside the Richard Reid thingie to do it. That was Clinton’s fault.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:27 amHooky ought to be asking the Dutch authorities how they missed this guy.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:30 amHe was silent about how Bush blew off the CIA agent who was worried about an imminent AQ attack in August 2001. Bush was on vacation and didn’t want to be bothered. Rumsfeld was pushing for more money for a missile defense system on 9/10/01. Cheney wasn’t concerned about terrorism. The old bulls were still fighting the Cold War.
Meanwhile, TSA is taking pen-knives with 1.5″ blades on keychains, as if a pen or pencil couldn’t do more damage to someone’s neck.
morning…
has anyone asked – why did the guy wait till approach to attempt this trick?
hoping to be stopped, maybe…?
also, i think king will be on MTP tomorrow… topic is ‘healthcare’…
December 26th, 2009 at 10:32 amsurely he will bring on the terrah… oh boy…
Geeeez …it was Obama’s fault that Amesterdam security didn’t catch the guy with powder strapped to his leg?
December 26th, 2009 at 10:36 amAnd just look at the pic of Hoekstra…above
The corporate picture look….put your hand out like you just nailed a “fact”, have the stupid blank stare, the red power tie…
and the great multitude of the unwashed peasants will are hanging on his every word…..
Pahleeese!
Dick Cheney spoke up within days of the beginning of the Obama administration indicating that Republicans were indeed hoping for a terrorist attack for political advantage. The terrorists have what they think are legitiment grievances about the US action, (which I disagree with of course), but Republicans grievances with Obama are only about how they are eager to politicize every event for their advantage. In that sense the comparison of the motives of Republicans may not be as evil as those of terrorists, but they are certainly more cynical.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:36 amFrom the minute President Obama was elected the marching orders went out to the (R)s to be negative about anything Obama, even if you had to be stupid and un-American! “Don’t ever think as an individual or we’ll disown you and RushBeck will come after you. Don’t worry about the welfare of the Nation, because the number one goal is to win the 2010 election.”
December 26th, 2009 at 10:37 amDoes anyone know how many countries around the world have been attacked, covertly and overtly, by the United States (and our military stooge Israel) over the past 30 years? I’ll bet you a donut that it’s over 35.
Have we become the Evil Empire that Ronald Reagan was always jabbering about?
December 26th, 2009 at 10:44 amMy party is constantly tugging at their own ocks to make an example of anything anywhere anytime to attach to demlibs in order to “prove” the narrative of them as weak on terra.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:46 amWill the real salivating Dick Cheney please stand up?
December 26th, 2009 at 10:48 amNothing says a major threat to national security like a flaming crotch. If you should ever meet either of the Pete’s, keep your pens and pencils in your pocket. Security has a wetness alarm wired into their diapers.
December 26th, 2009 at 10:58 amSeptember 11, 2001, Bush was president. He was president when the shoe bomber made his attempt and he was president when we had all the anthrax attacks. The republicans are failures who allowed these attacks and invaded Iraq for no good reason.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:06 amI was glistened to watch the joyous gathering of the Fox News crew’s spawns. It was the family unit! Even Doocy’s doofus son was there! Teh familay! Teh heterosexual familay!
December 26th, 2009 at 11:08 amNational Intelligence Estimate memo: Al Qaeda plans attack on U.S. soil. Bush’s response. “O.K., you covered your ass!” “Now, watch how I can clear underbrush on my mul-million dollar ranch, like a real man.” “Besides that, I’ve got cheney and he’ll prove that I kept you safe for eight years.”
The attacks on Democrats never took a holiday, even when bush crowed about how much political capital he had.
And it continues as the meme of the repubs to this day!
December 26th, 2009 at 11:10 am- – A classic Jihadist profile:
He is the son of the recently retired Chairman of First Bank of Nigeria, Dr. Umaru Abdul Mutallab. The Al-Qaida-linked Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab is an engineering student at University College London. Sahara reporters sources have revealed that prior to his stay in the UK, Farouk had studied at the prestigious British School of Lome, Togo. Where he passed his International Bacchalaureates Diploma before moving to UCL.
It sure isn’t poverty that forces these loons to do what they do. It’s religion.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:23 amRepubs are total idiots when they make comments like this. If Obama had been told about the passenger, & ignored it, then it would be different– but not different from Bush, who did exactly that before 9/11– got the warnings but did nothing.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:28 amIs he building a case to accuse Obama of causing the debacle in Iraq?
December 26th, 2009 at 11:30 amHey vote down troll, the truth hurts, doesn’t it!

December 26th, 2009 at 11:36 amDo you have any thoughts you would like to share as to the presidents culpability for this young mans actions?
Hoekstra has a history of violating security arrangements for political purpose, if you google “Hoekstra security breach” you will find articles showing his history of doing this.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:40 am“People have got to start connecting the dots here and maybe this is the thing that will connect the dots for the Obama administration,” Hoekstra said. [...]
Hoekstra hadn’t yet been briefed on the incident
Shorter Hoekstra: I dont know what the hell I’m talking about but I’m sure it’s Obama’s fault somehow.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:40 amcommenter at 38 makes things all clear now.

Must be small ones, so they overcompensate….
December 26th, 2009 at 11:42 amFor a miniute I thought you were talking about Sanford, Ensign, Vitter, or Craig.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:42 amSo these are the unholy, awful terrorists we should run and hide from? A reasonably well educated young man who, for reasons beyond comprehension, was convinced that lighting his pants on fire in an airplane would serve some purpose.
What? Did they tell him western women like hot sex and it was just a warm up for Paradise?
December 26th, 2009 at 11:44 amOf course repugs will blame Obama,its all they`ve got.
December 26th, 2009 at 11:45 am“People have got to start connecting the dots here…”
Why are Republicans so fixated on children’s puzzle books? Is this how their staffs explain things to them?
December 26th, 2009 at 11:51 amThis from a guy who leaked classified information in an interview???
December 26th, 2009 at 11:53 amIf an attempted terrorist attack makes the Obama administration clueless, then what does an actual terrorist attack that kills 3000 people make the Bush administration?
December 26th, 2009 at 11:53 amI can already hear Jon Stewart, message to Hoekstra:
December 26th, 2009 at 11:58 am
The greatest threat to America can be found in the ten foot square in front of television tuned to Fox News!
December 26th, 2009 at 12:04 pmBaby how is 6 any less effective then 7? For real why do you waste the energy?

Yes, I believe that solves the puzzle.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:15 pmTightened security… they must realize that the only way to be certain nothing bad happens on the plane is to not let anybody on at all.
I avoid flying now. This closing the barn door after the horse has escaped is tiresome.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:20 pmWe know why Hoekstra wasn’t briefed — he can’t keep his mouth shut about anything — especially on national security matters.
Michigan, if you vote this guy in as your governor, you get what you deserve. But I really don’t think you’ll do that. :-D

I see, you claim you didn’t call Obama stupid, but you did say he’s “not as bright as a broken lightbulb.” Nice try, a-hole. Now your claim is that this husband and father of two young girls, this guy who takes care of his own mother and his wife’s family, this man who chose to work for the poor in Chicago rather than take a half a million a year on Wall Street, has no “moral decency.”

Dick Cheney cut the crap out of the DoD budget – soldiers, not mercenaries – as defense secretary and Rummy proposed further cuts before and after 9/11 to the Marines and Air Force. Obama added $4 bil.

You simply cannot move a thoughtful, informed person with the crap Glen Beck is spewing. You’ve got to be uninformed, misinformed or just plain stupid to buy this crap and millions of us do.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:56 pmIt’s over, chickenhawk. The IV bag is empty. Bush is gone. I can understand you’re coping, though.

My GOD you are stupid and pathetic. You dont even TRY to make sense. You are so brainwashed you just spew out random stupidity like the brainwashed moron you are. You embarass our entire species
December 26th, 2009 at 12:57 pmSoldier girl, could you give us an example of Obama “boozing it up on tv?” I’ve seen him make a toast with a glass of wine and then hand it to an aid without drinking. This was a formal event. I’ve seen him sip on a glass of wine at the correspondents dinner.
Please review your fevered mind for this memory of yours. Where and when did Obama “booze it up on tv.”
December 26th, 2009 at 12:58 pmsoldier_girl is neither….

At least Glen Beck could admit drinking problem and stop drinking. Obma has such an issue he boozes up on TV for all the kids to see. Oh but he does not drink infront of his own kids what a saint.
When did Obami have a drinking problem? He’s been pretty candid about his struggles to quit smoking. You’re a leftover Bush bot, the stray shopping cart filled with return merchandise. An utter pos, to boot.
December 26th, 2009 at 12:59 pmEveryone! Soldier girl has breaking news! There are actually photos of Obama hoisting a beer with a friendly crowd of supporters!
Shameful, right Soldier Girl. Just let us know right here and now: did you vote for GW Bush?

How can you even stand yourself? How can any human being not just break down and cry about being as stupid, brainwashed, and pathetic as you are? Your life must have been a misery since you took your first ride to school on the shortbus and even THOSE kids laughed at you.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:01 pmANOTHER THING, SOLDIER: Get in line. Beer is produced in the free market. The great GOP wants our children to drink and smoke so they can deposit into the coffers, to include Cindy McCain’s. F you for the liberal talk.

I fail to see how defunding the military, something President Obama hasn’t even suggested, would fit in with a plan to bankrupt the country. If one really wanted to bankrupt the country, one would think that restarting all the defense programs cut under Bush would be very effective.
BTW. The list of major military programs cut under Bush makes for interesting Googling. Big ones like the Comanche helicopter to small ones like the XM8 rifle. Of course, it’s damn expensive to keep a few hundred thousand troops in hostile territory. It’s even expensive when they are using reconditioned old rifles and flying fifty year old airplanes. Heck! just replacing the losses due to attrition and operational losses should keep the money flowing to the defense industry for decades.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:03 pmCrackwhoregirl
Go spit out that crackheads member and breathe. The lack of oxygen to your brain is making you lose braincells that you cant afford to lose.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:03 pmSoldier girl, you’re not fooling anyone. If Obama didn’t drink, people like you would be saying he’s out of touch with “normal people.”
When are you moronic, whining, crybabies going to come to terms with the fact that you lost? You lost. You lost by a huge margin. The country likes Barak Obama. The country didn’t like that smirking fratboy who stole the office. He ran the country into the ground and now, as usual, we’re back trying to put it together. And people like you simply have no clue.

December 26th, 2009 at 1:07 pmHere’s what happens to your brain if you are a fan of Glenn Beck:
You think that the loyal Father and Husband who turned down lucrative offers on Wall Street to help poor people get a fair shake in your hometown “has no common sense or moral decency.”
You think that a person who graduated at the top of the most prestigious law school in the country is “stupid.”
In short, if you listen to Glenn Beck, you evidently lose all ability to think critically.

December 26th, 2009 at 1:12 pmWhat about the anthrax attacks under bush, he never caught the persons resopnsible for that. Then they have the balls to blame this latest attempted terrorist attack on Obama.

You’re in your little world and don’t you forget it. Anything opposite of intelligent, collaborative, insightful is your “opportunity.” You already got your “opportunity,” GW Bush, the guy who left office with a lower approval than Nixon.

Right, that’s what all the weasels say. I’m a little too old for that, little girl. I still remember how by the end of the 70’s no conservative would admit to having supported Nixon, even though he won in ‘72 by a huge landslide.
So strange how a guy who once enjoyed approval ratings in the 80’s seems to have had no support among you conservatives.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:21 pmsoldier_girl is a complete pussy fraud looking for responses. It is complete and utter bullshit as evidenced by their fear of me and unwillingness to defend that which they claim to believe. I piss on you soldier_girl!

Soldiergirl, you have gamely demonstrated what happens to peoples’ brains when they start listening to and believing people like Glenn Beck and Laura Ingraham. Or, it could be that people like Soldiergirl already have fried brains and that’s why they are fans of these a-holes in the first place. Either way, again, just go away. You’re bad news.

December 26th, 2009 at 1:26 pmPlease tell us exactly what the hell you “think” you are trying to say.
Stop speaking in riddles as if you were 4 years old. Just say what you think. Adults do it that way.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pmOK, Soldier girl. Now I know you’re just a liar. The soldiers at Camp Victory got absentee ballots and most of them voted. In fact, Obama won among soldiers casting ballots from Iraq.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pmsoldiergirl
The military makes it very EASY to vote. My father was a twenty year Marine. Even someone with a syphilis ravaged brain like yours could have pulled it off. What you SAID was absentee ballots were UNAVAILABLE. You are a LIAR now you just say it would have been inconvienient. Even as a brainwashed poser troll you are simply pathetic
December 26th, 2009 at 1:27 pmFrom Wiki because I’m sure Soldier Girl wouldn’t believe me: “Camp Victory is the primary component of the Victory Base Complex (VBC) which occupies the area surrounding the Baghdad International Airport (BIAP). The Al-Faw Palace, which serves as the headquarters for the Multi-National Corps – Iraq, is located on Camp Victory. Camp Victory itself lies approximately 5 kilometers from BIAP.[1]
Other camps that make up the Victory Base Complex include Camp Liberty (formerly known as Camp Victory North), Camp Striker, and Camp Slayer.”
The USO has been there. Colbert and Franken have done shows there. And, yes, the soldiers stationed there were able to cast absentee ballots. This has all been documented so what the hell are you talking about Soldier Girl?
December 26th, 2009 at 1:30 pm“soldier” is here to f uck her own ego. People with true accomplishments have humility and resent bragging about them.
soldier is just another one one of db’s behaviors-in-study.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:30 pmWell, if she’s trying to sell a story that soldiers didn’t get to vote in the largest, most developed military base in Iraq, she’s actually more stupid than I thought.
Remember the rule of holes, Soldier girl. When you’ve dug yourself one, stop digging.
December 26th, 2009 at 1:32 pmSo soldier_girl time to change names again as from this day forward all will be reminding you of this most frequent of pwnings. Either explain why you lied about your alledged service and your time at Camp Victory or just go away. You have played yourself.

I know, they could call such a film:
The Silence Of The Lame
December 26th, 2009 at 1:43 pmMindless crap does tend to make people angry, Soldier Girl. By federal law, you were entitled to vote and Camp Victory made absentee ballots available to everyone. In fact, you should remember (if you were really there) that soldiers were transferred in and out of Camp Victory on a regular basis and never allowed to stay out in the field longer than a few weeks without a break inside Victory.
Why are you pretending to be a soldier? Your opinions hold no more weight on politics as a soldier. We appreciate a soldier’s commitment, but it doesn’t follow that we should respect that soldier’s opinions any more than another citizen. Besides, civilians call the shots in our society – not the military.

The Republicans want to call an incident with zero casualties and the suspect in jail a “Successful” terrorist attack. So what’s the percentage on this? 10% successful? So if we compare that with all the 100% successful days so far in the Obama administration, I’m more than satisfied so far. I mean, I seem to recall some anthrax spores being sent around when W. was in office, that was what, about a week after the 9/11 attacks, when we were on high alert and all? Oops.

CNN says that his father called the US embassy lateley and cautioned that his son has been radicalized..
All happen just in time when Obama started a new war front in Yemen to help Saudi Arabia,where this guy supposed to have taken his orders, according to media outlets.
Now how did a guy like this get a visa, travel from Europe(Amsterdam) undetected…?

December 26th, 2009 at 2:47 pmFox is already putting their spin on it, of course. Just look at the slanted “You Decide” feature on the website. The question and options:
Is Enough Being Done to Protect Us From Terror Attacks?
Yes. I believe they’re doing all they can to protect Americans from acts of terror.
No. I think the Obama administration has been ignoring the ever-present danger of terror.
Not sure, but I’m very concerned that a 9/11-type of terror attack will happen soon.
Undecided
Notice how in the negative answer, they mention Obama by name, but in the positive answer they don’t seem to want him to get credit. A classic push poll.
No surprise where the bulk of the responses are, given that it’s Fox.
But the thing I wanted to really draw attention to are the comments. The meanest, nastiest, dumbest set of comments I’ve seen in a while.

In 2000 an election controversy happens in a state where the governor is the candidates brother. The governor is a signatory of PNAC document.

2001 terrorists attack happens just as PNAC document called for.
Patriot Act created. Although resisted by certain reps., an anthrax attack happens that speeds up acceptance of Patriot Act.
2 wars are set in place. PNAC document called for multiple theaters of war.
Rumors of involvement by oil execs are leaked.
The rest has been the nightmare come true. And it’s still not over.
Hoooooek …. spit
December 26th, 2009 at 3:36 pmRep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) worked well with the Bush Administration and helped bring this chaos over the 8 years. Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI) knew Saddam had no WMDs or Mushroom Cloud but kept on lying. He knew the CIA let the 20th highjacker leave because they didn’t believe him, yes even the order not to capture Osama Bin Laden was known to Rep. Peter Hoekstra (R-MI).
December 26th, 2009 at 4:12 pm#62 – you’re not far wrong– the U.S. has demanded that all
December 26th, 2009 at 5:04 pmCanadian airports freak out over security.
Hoekstra is a complete blithering idiot!
This is the case of the pot calling the kettle black. Obama hasn’t presided over an intelligence agency that ignored repeated warnings of Arabs learning to fly, but not land, airliners.
What a f–king dope! Peter, everyone knows what you really object to, the fact that the GOP has lost it’s Mo-Jo.
December 26th, 2009 at 5:36 pmI notice when I vote up a comment that is anti Republicans, it is not counted. As a Republican, I feel I have a right to criticize my own party. Something fishy about this site or a problem? Who knows.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:38 pmIt’s obvious that you are a Republican, you are too lazy to think. If you refresh the page, your vote will magically appear.
I guess they didn’t teach you any critical thinking skills at your Home School.
December 26th, 2009 at 6:48 pmIf you want to be understood you gotta stop using the word terrorist.
December 26th, 2009 at 8:39 pmNo freaking out over this, or the burnt dude from Nigeria wins. No babbling on TV by the Chaney gang either please POX, CNN, or this dude wins. get it? booga booga booga!
Check people out better before they board, and check all the baggage. That’s the kind of response we’re looking for from this by everyone involved.
Not a fright fest like the Republicans would relish and the Chaney gang would froth over, or the burnt dude wins, and the MSM wins too [conflict of interst alert!!].
Dear MSM, no more Boogga Boogga or we loose, you win [and the burnt guy wins too].
December 26th, 2009 at 8:43 pmDear MSM, please, please, simply, just, only, help us ensure each person and package is checked before we board. that is all. Thank you.
[we already knew this guy would come along, we just didn't know what day, just as we don't know when the next guy will come along.] What we need is a reasoned response to a self defeating phenomenon. Somehow the Bushies managed to get a blazing bonfire of a phenomenon started and left it to the rest of us to put in out. It’s obviously not out yet.
We need to stop calling it a war on terror or nobody will be understood. these are also suiside attemps – come on Republican idiots! like the Bushies – now they’ve got Perino preaching her sermons all about “terrorists”.

Carolannie, you have to remember….what happened on George Bush’s watch was Bill Clinton’s and President Obama’s fault. See? This is the theory of the conservatives and they’re sticking to it!
No, you got that wrong, see, according to libs Nothing bad happened under Clinton, you know, that whole “8 yrs of peace and prosperity” thing? Now that Obama’s in charge, anything bad was “inherited”
December 26th, 2009 at 9:25 pmSorry! It’s not Perino shilling on CNN, it’s Townsend. she is quite excited and animated, but she keeps talking about terror and terrorism and terrorists. I think out burnt Nigerian is a dime a dozen religious Martyr. what do you think?
December 26th, 2009 at 9:45 pmAnother thing: The RepubliCNN TV is really making a mountain out of a Martyr today. I hope this isn’t a trend, or the 21 year old Martyr wins, as does the RepubliCNN corp. by the way. this sets up an obvious conflict of interest between the people and RepubliCNN corp., in that the RepubliCNN must milk the Martyr story for all it is worth, but in doing so it is perpetuating this Martyrdom in the process.
We must be looking straight at RepubliCNN corp. on this one.
Same thing applies to RepuliFOX and RepubliNBC! it’s the beginning – their story to tell. Will this be a safety check, a reminder to tighten inspections at the airports, or will they turn a crazy burnt Nigerian into the Martyr he hopes to be while making extra money by doing so? I really hope they consider this and let it affect what they do this week!

You are stupid and you are a liar. Liberals say no such thing. They DO tell the truth about Clinton like the peace and prosperity thing. Look you are a brainwashed ignorant troll with nothing worthwhile to say so just STFU

December 27th, 2009 at 10:54 amLike the Kobar towers, USS cole, embassies in Yemen, Tell me again about the peace? I’m surprised you guys haven’t figured a way to blame Bush for this latest terrorist, just like the Ft. Hood terror attack was blamed on him.

My GOD you are stupid. Were those wars? You cant stand it that your moron president started useless wars and tanked the economy. You brainwashed cretins are just funny. Yeah there were terrorists that attacked us and we fought back. What we DIDNT do was start a useless war that tarnished our image and condemned innocent people and American soldiers to death so the most ignorant people on the planet like YOU clearly are can cheer. You morons just LOVE to see Americans DIE. Its always party time at your house when Americans are dying. You are just another sick depraved brainwashed moron.
December 27th, 2009 at 1:13 pmHmmm, operating under the same rule, we must also hold G. W. Bush totally responsible for 9/11, assuming that G. W. was clueless on National Security. Right? After all G. W. was inaugurated early in the year of 2001 and many months later, in fact in September, the bombings of 9/11 took place. As my mom used to quote in the old saying, “What is good for the goose is good for the gander”. Therefore, I am glad that this noted Republican finally admitted that it was G W’s lack of leadership that allowed 9/11 to happen. Obviously Bush did not keep us safe, eh?
December 27th, 2009 at 3:56 pmConsidering Bush started it all with the illegal war in Iraq, I’m STILL happy he’s gone. :D I STILL shudder imagining how worse it would be if Obama wasn’t around working to clean up Bush’s mess. McCain would have KILLED this country continuing the Bush policies.
