TIMES SQUARE BOMBER ANOTHER SIGN OF WEAK OBAMA TERRORIST POLICY
After quick action by a Vietnam vet who saw something suspicious about the Nissan Pathfinder parked in Times Square last weekend, and security camera video that identified the driver, Faisal Shahzad a Naturalized US citizen last April from Pakistan was arrested while trying to leave the country on a flight from New York's JFK airport to Dubai.
Law enforcement had been following Shahzad for more than a day and actually allowed him to board the plane allowing the plane to leave the gate before calling the plane back to arrest the terrorist because they wanted to give him an opportunity to attempt a cell phone call in order to possibly gain another contact who may have been involved with the attempted bombing of Times Square.
Once again as in December with the airline flight to Detroit on Christmas Day it was the quick reaction and observation of an average individual that thwarted yet another potentially
devastating terrorist attack against The United States. And once again it is no surprise that the attacker is a Muslim, yet the PC crowd of course is not mentioning this fact.
There have been 30 attempted terrorist attacks in The United States which have been stopped before fully implemented since 9/11. The most telling aspect of this number is that more than 10 of those attempts have taken place in the last year since Barack Obama took office and stopped the intense interrogation of terrorists which had been successful in preventing attacks under the Bush administration.
The Drudge Report posted a story soon after the attempted Times Square attack which stated that members of the Taliban had claimed responsibility for the attempt. With the arrest of Shazad and his ties to Pakistan, Taliban and/or Al Qaeda involvement is a distinct possibility. Once again emphasising the weakness of the Obama policy toward terrorism which is now considered a criminal act as it was before 9/11 and no longer an act of war.
In fact the first reaction by administration officials to the attempt was not even a consideration of Islamic fanatics but calling the attack to have likely come from ,"home grown," terrorist who are associated with ,"right wing extremist groups." Michael Bloomberg the Mayor of New York went even further when led down this ,"home grown," path by the ever PC Katie Couric as to say the bomber was likely someone, "upset with health care or something." Which of course was an insinuated reference to Tea Party protesters and conservatives who oppose Obama.
Terrorists sense the obvious weakness in Obama policy toward their acts and the reinstituted criminalizing of terrorism and are obviously testing the waters and with each attempt the possible results are more devastating than the last. The Christmas Day bomber could have killed more than 300 passengers on board the plane. The Times Square bomber could could have killed hundreds if not thousands.
Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napalitano had the same immediate response to both attempts in trying to play down these acts of terrorism by calling both, "amateurish." Does she think that a terrorist should be a professional bomb maker who graduated from some demolition school somewhere ? MOST terrorist attacks of this type use simple materials applied in a simple manner. If both of the so called, "amateurish," attempts had been successful hundreds of lives would have been lost. So the net result would have been the same regardless of the ,"professionalism," of the person or the devise. Napalitano is an idiot.
The left complained about Bush terrorism policy but the country remained safe under the tough policy of George Bush. Since Obama took office a little over a year ago there has been once successful terrorist attack at Fort Hood, two near misses, one on Christmas Day and the more recent in Times Square and more than ten additional attempts foiled as compared to ZERO attacks, ZERO near misses and twenty foiled plans in SEVEN YEARS under George Bush.
So whose policy is better at protecting America ? The President who was relentless in going after this enemy and who used interrogation which succeeded in getting necessary preventative information while only making detainees uncomfortable, or the weak President who considers terrorism a crime, interrogation torture and everyone who opposes him, "home grown," terrorists. The facts speak for themselves.

Beautifully written and so true Ken! I love how the left keep trying to play it off. It couldn't possibly be terrorism because it's under Obama. He does no wrong!
Unfortunately we know better! It's pretty sad when the public keep the citizens safer than the one man elected to do so. These things will continue to happen until a citizen is unable to stop it. I'd like to hear what they have to say then!!
I'd like to hear what they have to say then!!
Janet Napolitano will announce that the "system works", just like she did after the Christmas attempt by the Underwear Bomber, and all the "elite" liberals in their safe, gated communities will agree.
You throw out a lot of numbers in your piece; how is anyone able to follow-up on these to find out more about the 30 attempts overall; 20 under Bush and 10 under Obama?
Thanks.
