Does this surprise anyone?
The liberals fear and obsession with the right is really interesting to watch. Seems to be escalating daily and turning into quite the frenzy.

Again I am reminded of Rosie Odonnel's paranoia; "steel does not melt!"

As with any terror alert announcement it's best to wait it out until it's investigated and then determine what the alarm was over.

Turns out there were explosive devices on several jets.

(CNN) -- Suspicious packages found in at least two locations abroad that were bound for the United States "apparently contain explosive material," President Barack Obama said Friday, calling the discovery "a credible threat against our country."

Ha ha ha! Republican? You must be kidding!

A potentially suspicious package on a UPS cargo plane investigated this morning at Newark Liberty International Airport turned out to be a false alarm, sources say.

Suspicious packages 'contain explosive material,' Obama says - CNN.com


Explosive devices on "several jets"?! I don't think so. Further, there were NO explosive "devices". There were "bomb making materials"--which have yet to be disclosed.

Yes, Obama is our hero! He has saved the day! No casualties, and he and "his team" were alerted last night of this threat and they took care of it.

Republicans, hc475? Yeah, uh, I don't think so. Try again.

Pile of poo?...

Hah... No explosives have made it into the U.S.

Looks like Obama has done more to protect the country than Bush and Cheney did... Oh yeah... They're still looking for WMD's...

and yes... this story will be forgotten by Wednesday...
