All some idiot needs is a ineffective vial of kerosene to terrorize the US public.
Just get it on board a plane and American right wing haters will do the rest of the work.
Spreading hate and fear. Exaggerating threats to score poltical points.
Exactly what the wanna-be terrorist wants. Some chicken littles like the OP to help hype is ineffective stunt.
You guys are all missing the point. The point is the reason for Islamic terrorism appears not to be poverty but that's what libs have been trying to sell for a long time through the media and the arts. I don't see any bleeding heart documentaries on why we should all feel sorry for bomber doctors and we sure aren't going to see them on this rich terrorist.
Like liberals think with every problem you encounter, the solution to everything is to pump money in and society's ills will all go away.
Yeah, I mean Obama should have personally traveled to Amsterdam to prevent this terrorist from boarding a flight bound for America.
So since Obama is to blame for a terrorist who boarded a plane in a foreign country, what does that mean for Bush who allowed terrorists into our country to live and train here for years and then hijack 4 planes from right out under our noses?
Well, I would have thought by now Obama would have sent al-qaeda the memo that he's not George Bush and made a date to talk to them. He could have even brought them a set of DVDs as a gift. Of course, if al-qaeda is leaving a big carbon footprint, no dvds for Osama bin Laden until he reduces his carbon emissions. We can't have al-qaeda killing the polar bears.
the attacks on America on Sept 11 2001 were planned by the U.S. government to get us into this state of panic in which we now have the Patriot act and other laws that have taken away some of our freedoms from the thousands of terrorists that are attacking us on a daily basis here in the United States....yeah right..its a scare tactic that worked because people like yourself and alot of others actually think its good to lose our freedom out of fear ....how else would they ever have passed that Patriot act?....they couldnt do it without creating something so terrible that it would scare the crap out of everyone in the U.S.....If you curse me its ok...but i believe there are people high up above the president that have the money and power and make evil decisions to help thier Global agenda....they want to dominate the world and to do that they have to make America fall and strip our constitution away....little by little it will happen...it already has in some ways....who is gonna actually win a war against people dressed like normal people of that area ....lol...it was all an excuse to set up shop over in Iraq to control the oil fields and then get into Pakistan and Iran and take control and have them start using a different currency which will finally be formed into a world currency one day after all is said and done...they already use the Euro currency in some of those middle eastern countries now...
I am not sure if our gvt planned 9-11 but I would not put it past them to do so and create another bogeyman to scare the people.I agree that they are stripping our rights away but you forgot to mention the growth of gvt.Soon after 9-11 they created the Dept of Homeland Security,some good this new dept has done.

Of course! Because if he was George Bush he would ignore al Qaeda and pursue a personal agenda attempting to remake the world instead
Speaking of the shoe bomber, after that incident we now have to take our shoes off for airport security.
What I'm wondering is since this guy sneaked the explosives onto the plane in his pants! Are we now going to have to take our pants off when we go thru airport security??
It was a nitrogen based explosive. Those can easily be detected by dogs and/or chemical sniffers at pass through areas that can detect such things.
As far as this being some insignificant terrorist attempt, I doubt the people aboard this plane thought as much. If those passengers that subdued this charector had the mindset of some in here we might have been reading about 278 dead people for Christmas instead.

Sound familiar? What it sounds like is if you stretch things any more it's gonna be one nasty smack when it breaks and snaps back.
if this is true:
(quote) According to multiple news outlets, Abdulmutallabto has been known to U.S. and British Intelligence as a person with terrorist ties. The U.K. banned his entry into that country six months ago, yet he was issued a multi-entry U.S. visa which allowed him to come and go as he pleased.
His father, a wealthy Nigerian banker, claims to have warned U.S. officials of his son's "fanatical religious views" six months ago. (end quote)
that would represent a failure by our government to have kept him off that plane, and obama is the acting head of the government. it would be unbelievable that the father would warn us about his own son, and that those warnings would be ignored.

why should law-abiding americans have to be subjected to ridiculous searches, taking off their shoes/belts/ jewelry, having their water bottles/toiletries/perfumes confiscated, time consuming delays, and increased airfare charges when they are going to let people like that fly anyhow?????

it is ridiculous that americans have to be incredibly inconvenienced when they fly every single time and that this guy got on a plane at all. the government cannot just keep targeting american businesspeople and vacationers as possible "suspects".
they actually need to keep the terrorists off the planes!
The issue of the father's "reports" has been discussed on another thread. He sent some text messages to the US Embassy, apparently in Nigeria. The guy was on the "watch" list. He apparently evaded that somehow. We are just lucky he was a lousy engineer who couldn't make a proper bomb.
Well, the 9/11 terrorists did strike at our economic system and military and government. So they're a little more in tune with far leftists/ liberals than neoconservatives( although admittedly it is often very hard to distinguish the two).
Bush had that ugly freak shoe bomber and now Obama has this crazy. I guess even if we aren't at war with islam, some of islam is at war with us.
