CAIR Targets FBI for Arresting Tampa Jihadist

Yugoslavian born, would-be Islamic terrorist Sami Osmakac planned massive destruction in Tampa, FL. He apparently made it onto the FBI's radar when he told an unidentified person that he wanted to purchase an al-Qaeda flag. Subsequent requests made by Osmakac about wanting to carry out multiple terror attacks before killing himself led to an FBI sting operation that took him down before he could do any damage.

Apparently, the Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) thinks he's just another innocent Muslim targeted by the FBI:

Via IPT:

Despite Osmakac's commitment to carry out multiple deadly attacks, CAIR officials went on the offensive against the FBI for capturing another "innocent" Muslim. Trying to create tension between Muslim Americans and law enforcement is part of CAIR's regular response to government counterterrorism investigations.

Executive Director of CAIR San Francisco Zahra Billoo was quick to paint the arrest as a scam, stating that she was "wondering how much of the thwarted terror plot in Florida was seeded by the FBI, [a]ppreciating that even the MSM mentioned the informants." Dawud Walid, Executive Director of CAIR-Michigan, released a tweet saying, "it is not the job of civil rights groups to be commending the FBI on their use of informants, given the FBI's history."

The Director of CAIR's Florida chapter, Hassan Shibley, gave a more lukewarm and confusing response to news of the arrest. Although he stated that Osmakac "was no friend or supporter of the Muslim community" and that the Muslim community had played a "vital role" in his arrest, he also expressed "concern about a perception of entrapment."

"The weapons and explosives were provided by the government. Was he just a troubled individual, or did he pose a real threat?" said Shibly to the press this morning. As the day progressed, he was quoted casting additional mistrust of the government's intentions. "I think the fear at the point is that he was just mentally disturbed...I think that community members hoped that by reporting him, he could get the proper assistance," Shibly explained to MyFoxTampaBay.

The details of the case make plain the intentions of the plotter.

Notice that Shibley credited the Muslim community for helping the FBI to arrest Osmakac. A little later in Emerson's article, we find that there were Muslims who knew of Osmakac's intentions and did nothing.

He also talked of taking down Tampa Bay area bridges to "crush the whole economy" in the region and to create food crisis, but concluded it need more people. Osmakac also lamented that he was unable to inspire other local Islamists to enter the plot with him, indicating that other local Muslims knew of his plot and had not reported him.

The FBI should identify all of the individuals Osmakac attempted to recruit and question them. If there are applicable charges, they should be filed.

After all, Islamic terrorism is a crime, not an act of war.

Napolitano in 2009: Right Wing Extremist Report; Napolitano in 2011: Silent

To call this a double standard would be a slap in the face to double standards. In 2009, at the dawn of the Tea Party movement, a DHS document was leaked that focused on right wing extremism. It profiled (yes, profiled) individuals and groups that Janet Napolitano's Department identified as a terrorist threat. On April 15, 2009, CNN posted a story entitled, 'Napolitano defends report on right-wing extremist groups.' A photo at the top of the article showed a crowd of people in front of the Capitol holding Nazi flags. Two years later, the American Nazi Party endorsed the increasingly violent (and very left-wing) Occupy Wall Street protests.

Via CNN in 2009:

The Department of Homeland Security will never monitor ideology or political beliefs, the head of the agency said Wednesday, responding to criticism of a recent report on right-wing extremist groups.

"Let me be very clear: We monitor the risks of violent extremism taking root here in the United States," Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a written statement.

"We don't have the luxury of focusing our efforts on one group; we must protect the country from terrorism whether foreign or homegrown and regardless of the ideology that motivates its violence."

The report, "Right-wing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Resurgence in Radicalization and Recruitment," said right-wing extremist groups may be using the recession and the election of the nation's first African-American president to recruit members.

The report, which was prepared in coordination with the FBI, was published last week. It was distributed to federal, state and local law enforcement officials. Mainstream media picked up the story after it was reported by conservative bloggers.

Though the nine-page report said it had "no specific information that domestic right-wing terrorists are currently planning acts of violence," it said real-estate foreclosures, unemployment and tight credit "could create a fertile recruiting environment for right-wing extremists and even result in confrontations between such groups and government authorities similar to those in the past."

The report compared the current climate with that of the 1990s, saying a recession, criticism over outsourcing of jobs and a perceived threat to U.S. power at that time fueled a resurgence of right-wing extremism.

However, it said, "Despite similarities to the climate of the 1990s, the threat posed by lone wolves and small terrorist cells is more pronounced than in past years."

Two years later, the OWS movement seems to have thousands of 'lone wolves' who have been arrested all across the country. There has been significant amounts of violent crime, to include rape and murder. It's also safe to say that the movement is wrought with derelicts who, in fact, are terrorists. Yet, the entire Obama administration - including Napolitano - remains virtually silent.

That brings us to the latest incident the OWS movement has to be proud of - terrorizing small children who were trying to get to school.

BOOM! Bigger Fish than al-Awlaki Killed in same Predator Drone Strike

Remember that near-miss terror attack last year when bombs were planted inside printer cartridges? The man responsible for making those bombs - as well as the Christmas Day bomb that failed to detonate over Detroit - was killed in the same Predator drone strike that killed Anwar al-Awlaki and Samir Khan, the publisher of al-Qaeda magazine. Ibrahim al-Asiri was al-Qaeda's top Saudi top bomb maker. While al-Awlaki is widely credited with having been the inspiration for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab to put a bomb in his pants that was supposed to detonate over a major city, it was apparently al-Asiri who gave him the means.

Via AP:

WASHINGTON (AP) — Two US officials say the drone strike in Yemen that killed Anward al-Awlaki appears to have also killed al-Qaida's top Saudi bomb-maker.

Officials say intelligence indicates Ibrahim al-Asiri also died in the attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the death has not been officially confirmed.

Al-Asiri is the bomb-maker believed to have made the explosives used in the foiled Christmas Day airline attack in 2009 and last year's attempted cargo plane bombing.

Assuming this report pans out, take some solace the next time you're getting groped by a TSA agent that the dirtbags who make up the trio directly responsible for that groping are either in custody or dead.

Underwear Bomber: In jail
Inspiration for Underwear Bomber: In ground

Two Islamic Terrorists Apprehended, Released after Crossing into US from Mexico

Any rational person who knows anything about homeland security has to admit that our open border to the south is a perfect opportunity for Islamic terrorists to blend in with Mexican nationals. There is now proof in the form of two men who were apprehended by US Border agents. It's important to point out that because far more people get through than get caught, these two terrorists are not isolated cases. They represent a sample so there are likely many more where they came from. Meanwhile, our Federal Government is doing all it can to not only ignore its responsibility when it comes to securing the border but preventing states like Arizona from doing it.

Via PJM:

Two Bangladeshis who were caught by Customs and Border Protection illegally crossing the border in June 2010 admitted under questioning that they were members of a designated terrorist organization that signed on to a fatwa by Osama bin Laden pledging to wage war against Americans.

But amazingly, after one of the men requested asylum, he was released on bond. And now one Homeland Security official tells me, concerning the released terror operative, “We don’t have the slightest idea where he is now.”

The two men, Muhammad Nazmul Hasan and Mirza Muhammad Saifuddin, were intercepted near Naco, Arizona, not long after they had crossed the border on June 25, 2010. During their interrogation, one of the men admitted that they were members of Harakat-ul-Jihad-i-Islami Bangladesh (HuJI-B), which was designated a terrorist organization by the United States in February 2008. Earlier this month the group claimed responsibility for a bombing a courthouse in New Delhi. That attack killed 11 and wounded at least 45 others.

Well, these terrorists were apprehended at about the same time Operation Fast and Furious was kicking into high gear as well.

From the Declaration of Independence:

He (King George) has excited domestic insurrections amongst us, and has endeavoured to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.

I think our border with Mexico qualifies as one of our 'frontiers' and I think terrorists qualify as 'savages.'

Whoa! Norway Shooter Plagiarized Unabomber's Manifesto

This really is an extraordinary find. In the wake of the Oslo bombing and shootings, there continue to be a string of inconsistencies about the background of the shooter, Anders Behring Breivik. For example, his Facebook page appears to have been changed by someone other than himself after he had gone on his murderous rampage. The change included his being identified as both a Christian and a conservative. Now, it looks like his exhaustive manifesto plagiarizes the Unabomber, a far left extremist who supported a radical environmentalist group known as Earth First!

Check out what Document.no has uncovered. With the exception of a few words, Breivik has copied the words of Ted Kaczynski exactly. Each example below juxtaposes Unabomber's manifesto excerpt with Breivik's excerpts. In the first paragraph of each entry, I've bolded the words that have been interchanged.

Una-bomberens manifest pkt. 6 til 23:

One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is leftism, so a discussion of the psychology of leftism can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of modern society in general.

7. But what is leftism? During the first half of the 20th century leftism could have been practically identified with socialism. Today the movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a leftist. When we speak of leftists in this article we have in mind mainly socialists, collectivists, “politically correct” types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists and the like. But not everyone who is associated with one of these movements is a leftist. What we are trying to get at in discussing leftism is not so much a movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a collection of related types.

Anders Behring Breiviks manifest, pkt. 2.17:

One of the most widespread manifestations of the craziness of our world is multiculturalism, so a discussion of the psychology of multiculturalists can serve as an introduction to the discussion of the problems of Western Europe in general.

But what is multiculturalism or Cultural Communism? The movement is fragmented and it is not clear who can properly be called a cultural Marxist. When we speak of cultural Marxists in this article we have in mind mainly individuals who support multiculturalism; socialists, collectivists, “politically correct” types, feminists, gay and disability activists, animal rights activists, environmentalists etc. But not everyone who is associated with one of these movements support multiculturalism. What we are trying to get at in discussing cultural Marxists is not so much a movement or an ideology as a psychological type, or rather a collection of related types.

There is far more to this. Check the link below to read Breivik's rantings. In effect, he appears to have changed Kaczynski's words to reflect the more politically charged rhetoric of today.

Video: PP Simmons Analyzes Media Narrative about Norway Shooter

No smoking gun here but some interesting questions raised in a PP Simmons video about a media narrative that has already begun. That narrative is starting with the premise that Anders Behring Breivik is a Christian and a conservative based on what was listed on his Facebook page. There is apparently a law in Norway that says anyone born of two Norwegian parents in that country is automatically registered as a Protestant Christian and that to be removed, one has to register as another religious group or as a humanist.

Breivik is also apparently registered with Norway's 'Progress Party,' the more conservative wing of that country's liberal Party.

Was Facebook Page of Oslo Terrorist Changed while he was Detained?

The questions about Oslo terrorist Anders Behring Breivik continue to mount. Among the most perplexing involves his Facebook page, which was apparently altered to include the descriptors 'Christian' and 'Conservative' after he had already been apprehended. That begs one very simple question: Who changed Breivik's Facebook page? As Pamela Geller points out, once Breivik's name was released, he had already perpetrated his attacks. Note how his Facebook page looked immediately after his name had been released:

Via Atlas Shrugged, note how there is no mention of him being either Christian or conservative (CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE):

Then, his facebook page changed to reflect his conversion to Christianity sometime either during or after his shooting of children (CLICK IMAGE TO ENLARGE):

This is beyond being highly suspicious. If, indeed, Breivik's Facebook page was manipulated to portray him as someone the left has been frothing at the mouth to find, the entire Facebook account of Anders Behring Breivik must be considered suspect.

For example, Solid Principles has linked to a PDF of a more extensive Facebook profile of Breivik. Take note of the Sponsored links in the right hand column. One features Sarah Palin and another, Bret Baier.

Another very curious aspect to Breivik's profile comes courtesy of Sky News. Apparently, his 1500 word manifesto paints him as a 'Neo-Nazi.' Uh, if he's a neo-Nazi, he ain't no Christian.

Something really, really stinks about this whole thing.

Oslo Shooter Identified as a Right-Wing Extremist

The near simultaneous bombing of Norwway's Prime Minister's office and the mass shooting of children at a summer camp on the island of Utoya had all the markings of an al-Qaeda style, multi-pronged attack in that regard. One Islamic group - Ansar al-Jihad al-Alami (Helpers of Global Jihad) - initially claimed responsibility for the bombings but the man apprehended at Utoya is being identified as a 'right wing extremist,' and as a Christian. Anders Behring Breivik is said to have acted alone.

The style of the attack, coupled with an alleged perpetrator who doesn't fit the profile of someone who would commit such an act is not the only thing suspicious about all of this. The Jawa Report has made an interesting discovery. Apparently, Breivik had a facebook page that he shut down days before his rampage only to open a new one with very limited information on it:

I was reading some of his posts on Morgenbladet.no(sp?)[need google translate]. Don't see much of anything that would really stand out. Also, apparently he had another Facebook account and closed it before opening his current one. He only posted videos and only 2 days of posts-17th and 18th. The Facebook page is gone now and only his twitter remains.

Via Michelle Malkin, here is a portion of the Daily Mail's account of who Breivik is:

The massacre in Norway was the work of a man with extreme right wing views who hated Muslims, police said this morning.

Officers found a series of raving internet posts by 32-year-old Anders Behring Breivik, who was been charged with two accounts of terrorism after gunning down children on the island of Utoya and detonating a bomb in Oslo yesterday.

Media reports in Norway described Breivik as a 'loner', who lived with his mother in a wealthy suburb of west Oslo, was well-educated and enjoyed hunting.

Only a few days ago he set up a Twitter account and posted a single message: 'One person with a belief is equal to the force of 100,000 who have only interests'.

It is attributed to the English philosopher John Stuart Mill, whose concept of liberty justified the freedom of the individual in opposition to unlimited state control.

The account appears to have only been set up a few days ago.

On his Facebook profile, Breivik describes himself as a Christian and a conservative.

It also listed interests such as body-building and freemasonry.

So it looks like this guy's twitter account had only recently been set up as well. It's worth noting that Free Masons have about six million adherents world wide, so it's nowhere close to being mainstream when it comes to Christianity. The Daily Mail also reports on Breivik's apparent hatred for Islam and support for Geert Wilders:

According the website Atlantic.com, Breivik expressed extremist Islamophobic views on forums and criticised immigration policies.

He argued on a Swedish news website that the media were not critical enough about Islam and claimed that Geert Wilders' Party for Freedom in the Netherlands was the only 'true' party of conservatives.

He argued that socialism was breaking down traditions, culture, national identity and other societal structures and that this in turn made society weak and confused.

This begs some questions: If this guy was anti-Islam, why would he attack non-Muslims? Why does he seem like the poster child for everything the left wants to believe about Christians? Why did he shut down one facebook account and open a new one days before these attacks? When did he start posting on these forums about his anti-Islamic views? Why did Muslim groups claim responsibility?

Lastly, how will this be exploited by the left?

Video: CBN Expose' on Muslim Students Association

There are plenty of facts available to prove that the Muslim Students Association (MSA) is part of the much larger Muslim Brotherhood. A report from Erick Stakelbeck at CBN boldly underscores the point. American born Islamic terrorists have virtually all been members of the MSA. The goal of the MSA has, for years, been to recruit young Muslims into the Brotherhood. For some reason, this reality is lost on far too many of our nation's leaders.

Video Shocker: Bill Maher Confronts Keith Ellison over Qur'an

Earlier this week, the first Muslim elected to U.S. Congress - Keith Ellison - while at Peter King's radical Islam hearing, invoking the name of a Muslim who died on 9/11 and then proceeded to bawl in a case of misplaced and transparent melodramatic theatrics. It was embarrassing.

Then he appeared on Real Time with Bill Maher. Don't let the initial softball question discourage you. Stick with it because Maher - as an atheist - appears to be getting a bit fed up with the Qur'an and it appeared to catch Ellison off guard.



Here is Ellison crying like a little girl. Ya think Ellison cried like this after the Fort Hood shootings?



Since then, it's been learned that the Muslim Ellison was crying theatrical crocodile tears over was never a victim of anti-Muslim bigotry; he was even given virtual 'hero' status in, of all things, the Patriot Act.

Weather Underground Founder Chimes in on Tucson Shootings

First of all, the fact that the Washington Post would give the Weather Underground's Mark Rudd a platform to give his take on Jared Loughner says a lot about them. The good news is, Rudd's writing says a lot about him too. Rudd was the member of the terrorist group that signed on the bombing that was to take place at an officers dance on the Fort Dix, NJ Army base in 1970. Fortunately, that bombing didn't happen because it exploded in the Greenwich Village town house where it was being assembled, killing three Weathermen.

Anyway, via the Washington Post:

I considered myself an agent of necessity in a political revolution. I'm not sure if Loughner, who seems to suffer from mental illness, can be considered an agent of anything. But I'm sure that if, as alleged, he pulled the trigger, he had convinced himself that he was doing what needed to be done.

At his age, I had thought myself into a similar corner. My willingness to endorse and engage in violence had something to do with an exaggerated sense of my own importance. I wanted to prove myself as a man - a motive exploited by all armies and terrorist groups. I wanted to be a true revolutionary like my guerrilla hero, Ernesto "Che" Guevara. I wanted the chant we used at demonstrations defending the Black Panthers to be more than just words: "The revolution has come/Time to pick up the gun!"

A little further, Rudd talks about the bombing at the Greenwich Village town house...

On March 6, 1970, the Weather Underground's bombs, assembled in a New York townhouse, exploded prematurely. Ted Gold, Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins - three brilliant and passionate young people who had decided that they must become terrorists - were killed. Only by their deaths was the greater tragedy we were plotting avoided. Emotionally shattered, I dropped out of the Weather Underground but remained a fugitive until 1977.

Kinda says it all, doesn't it? Three would be mass murderers were "brilliant" and "passionate" in the mind of Mark Rudd.

FORT HOOD JIHADIST ENDS DEFENSE AFTER FOUR MINUTES

After prosecutors in the Article 32 hearing - which is used to determine if there's enough evidence for a court martial - presented 56 witnesses over several days last month, all with gripping and horrifyingly compelling testimony, the defense mounted by the Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan, lasted a grand total of four minutes. Such a weak attempt at a defense in an Article 32 is not necessarily uncommon. That said, Hasan's attorney seemed to be conceding to the reality that there will be a court martial.

Via the San Antonio Express:

FORT HOOD — Prosecutors took nine days and 56 witnesses to finish their part of an evidentiary hearing for an Army psychiatrist charged with a shooting spree one year ago, but the defense took just four minutes.

The hearing wrapped up Monday morning shortly after Col. James Pohl, an Army judge who presided over a series of Abu Ghraib proceedings five years ago, asked Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan if he had anything to say.

“No,” Hasan replied.

Pohl, the investigating officer for the Article 32 hearing, will recommend whether a trial should be ordered for Hasan, who is charged with 13 specifications of premeditated murder and could get the death penalty.

A post spokesman said a decision on a trial is expected at the beginning of next year.

If there is anything good to come out of the hearing, it may be the repeated requests made by Hasan's attorney, John Galligan, who has been demanding - rather unsuccessfully - that he receive investigation results of his client's time at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.

In light of what has leaked about all the red flags raised by Hasan's behavior, the Department of Defense is not looking forward to being significantly shamed by revelations of what it didn't do to prevent this massacre.

VIDEO: DISCOVERY CHANNEL GUNMAN'S INCONVENIENT TRUTH

The name of the gunman who barged into Discovery Channel's headquarters on September 1, 2010 was James J. Lee. He managed to take three hostages while claiming to have bombs strapped to his chest. Based on past actions in front of the building going back some two years, he had been adamant that Discovery alter its programming to focus more on Global Warming and animal protection. At one point, he produced a video titled 'Race to Save the Planet'. He obviously felt an urgent need to warn as many people as possible about the impending destruction of the planet.

His solution? Take hostages and threaten to kill them. Here's Lee's video via MSNBC:



Similar to Joseph Stack, the man who flew a plane into an IRS building in August last year, Lee also penned a rant prior to his death.

Somewhat surprisingly, MSNBC actually included this paragraph in its report:

Lee said at the time that he experienced an ‘‘awakening” when he watched former Vice President Al Gore’s environmental documentary ‘‘An Inconvenient Truth.”

HOUSTON: WIFE OF OIL EXECUTIVE A BOMBING VICTIM

This story, though tragic, is made potentially far more important in light of the public anger at Big Oil that has been fueled and exacerbated by the Obama administration; the BP oil spill response, though totally bungled and encumbered by the White House, has also served to inflame tensions. It is not yet known if the package containing a bomb - left at the door of a home owned by an oil executive and his wife - was placed there because of the oil connection.

The potential exists but is not confirmed and it should not be assumed that's what happened until a suspect is identified.

That said, an updated report from KTRK provides a bit more information, saying that the bomb consisted of tacks, nails, and batteries. It sounds reminiscent of the kind the Weather Underground would make. It will be interesting, to say the least, if this turns out to be a leftwing lunatic who specifically targeted the wife of an Oil Executive. If that ends up being what happened, it will be interesting to see how it's handled. Hopefully, not like the case of Kenneth Gladney or the Black Panthers was dealt with. The woman was targeted because the box had her name on it. The only question now is, why?

VIDEO: MAYOR BLOOMBERG CAUGHT ACTING STUPIDLY

Mayor Michael Bloomberg's premature comments about the likely suspect of the Time Square car bomb that didn't detonate carried echoes of Obama jumping to conclusions about how the Cambridge Police acted stupidly while dealing with Henry Louis Gates. As was the case with Obama's claim, so too was Bloomberg's proven false.

Here's the video of Bloomberg telling Katie Couric that the bomber was an angry Tea Partier upset with Obamacare. Small problem for the mayor. The bomber is a Muslim of Pakistani descent and naturalized American citizen who, as such, had to be read his Miranda rights.



Bloomberg's appeasement of the Islamic community is not new. In the days after the Fort Hood shootings last year, Bloomberg welcomed an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing, Siraj Wahhaj, to a meeting to discuss that shooting. That'd be like asking the fox into the hen house to help identify what killed the hen.

ISLAMIC TERROR AT TIME SQUARE?

As Faisal Shahzad was attempting to board a plane to Dubai at JFK Airport late at night, he was apprehended in connection with the car bomb on Time Square that didn't explode. Several news sources are identifying Shahzad as an American citizen. The fact the bomb didn't detonate actually aided in the arrest because reverse engineering could take place more easily.

The New York Times has a report:

Federal agents and police detectives arrested a Connecticut man, a naturalized United States citizen from Pakistan, shortly before midnight Monday for driving a car bomb into Times Square on Saturday evening in what turned out to be an unsuccessful attack, Justice Department officials announced.

The man, Faisal Shahzad, 30, was believed to have recently bought the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder that was found loaded with gasoline, propane, fireworks and fertilizer in the heart of Times Square, a person briefed on the investigation said.

If Shahzad ends up being the man responsible, that would constitute THREE high profile attempted or successful Islamic terror attacks on American soil in less than six months - the attack on Fort Hood and the Underwear Bomber being the other two.

As if that weren't enough, Shahzad is a naturalized American citizen. This takes on added significance in light of the controversy over the new law in Arizona which gives that state the power to enforce federal immigration laws that are obviously not being enforced. Shahzad's arrest could actually provide fuel for those who support Arizona SB 1070.

One blog, Right Pundits, goes a bit further than the New York Times, identifying Shahzad as a Democrat who may have contributed to Barack Obama:

An Islamic terrorist named Faisal Shahzad is the Time Square bomber according to media reports. He is Muslim of Pakistani heritage with dual citizenship in the United States, a registered Democrat in the state of Connecticut who may be an Obama donor. He was recently naturalized as a U.S. citizen under the Obama administration’s lenient open door policy.

The veracity of those claims remain to be seen but if true, they would be extremely damaging to the Obama administration as well as to those in opposition to the new Arizona law.

Interestingly enough, a former Muslim terrorist named Walid Shoebat - born a Palestinian - says that people who look like him should be profiled. In fact, in the days after the Underwear bomber's failed attempt on December 25th, Shoebat walked through the Des Moines, IA airport donning a shirt that said, "PROFILE ME" in big letters.

At some point, those in the media who are refusing to tell the truth about what's going on with respect to Islamic terror will have blood on their hands for ignoring it. I have a very simple question. Why on earth is Walid Shoebat not on every television news channel? He speaks Arabic; he grew up a Muslim; he became a Muslim terrorist; he can tell people what Jihad means; he can tell people the truth.

NAPOLITANO DOUBLES DOWN ON HER WHACK JOB AWARD

What is it with this woman? No, seriously. After the underwear bomber's bomb didn't explode while his plane was in the air and descending into Detroit, DHS Secretary Janet Nopolitano infamously said, "the system worked". Then, in defense of her agency after the passage of Arizona's new immigration enforcement law - SB 1070 - Napolitano said the border with Mexico is "as secure as it's ever been". Now this:

Via The Hill:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said Sunday morning that the administration is "certainly considering" that the car bomb found in New York's Times Square could be an act of terror.

Napolitano went on to say that nothing would be ruled out. Uh, Janet, I think you can rule out an act of nature being the cause of a man-made bomb in a car on Times Square. What are the possibilities this was NOT a man caused disaster?

Wow.
