Today on Studio B, Kurt Haskell was on to describe he and his wife’s experience seeing the Christmas-day bomber with a well-dressed Indian man, apparently trying to help Mutallab get on the plane without a Visa. Then if that’s not bad enough, Haskell describes a further incident where bomb-sniffing dogs were brought in and another person was taken into custody.
It’s what Haskell was told by the FBI in an interview room that alarmed him the most. It happened as they were in one interview room, where the second suspect from the plane was in the other, having been brought in in handcuffs. The FBI reportedly said to him: “The room you’re in now is not safe. Read between the lines, I’m sure you’re smart people and can figure out why you’re being moved.” A question for you folks: What would YOU take that to mean? I’m with Mr. Haskell on this one.
So, come on people…can we stop this insane “man-caused disaster” and “overseas contingency plan” B.S.? And for GOD’S sake KEEP GITMO OPEN! It’s some of the mooks that are being repatriated to Yemen that are returning to the fight in order to kill more Americans! And oh, yeah… Mutallab told officials that there are more like him, just waiting for their opportunity to attack us again.
Two of the four leaders allegedly behind the al Qaeda plot to blow up a Northwest Airlines passenger jet over Detroit were released by the U.S. from the Guantanamo prison in November, 2007, according to American officials and Department of Defense documents.
On Sunday’s “This Week,” Jake Tapper filled in for Stephanopolous, and his first guest was DHS Secretary, Janet Napolitano. I’ll just let you watch and judge for yourself: Did the system work “as planned?” If “as planned” you mean the passengers tackled Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab before he could carry out his plan, then yes, the system worked “as planned.”
But is she seriously supposed to expect us to believe that the GOVERNMENT sytem worked as planned? This jihadi apparently got some training in Yemen, probably purchased the PETN in Yemen, and his father reported him to the US Embassy in Nigeria in November of this year due to his radical extremist beliefs!!!
Not to mention that, it’s been reported Farouk bought a one-way ticket, paid cash, had no luggage, and was on some type of government watch list (if not the official no-fly list). So tell me, Janet…how did the system work “as planned?” You are an inept fool, who is well above your head in all things “national security.” I’m still waiting for Obama to pat you on the back and say “good job, Jannie.”
Good grief, folks, this insanity has to STOP! And can we please continue to use the term ‘terrorists,’ the ‘war on terror,’ and LEAVE Gitmo alone? Gitmo transferred many of the terrorists there BACK to Yemen, where apparently they went right back to work plotting and planning to kill infidels.
Dear God almighty, this P.C. administration is going to get us ALL killed!
As the discussion proceeded, Jennifer Loven said she had spoken with the White House and that they were really concerned about the politics of it all, and getting ahead of the PR curve. Ingraham rightly mentions shortly thereafter that that is the problem; the current administration is more concerned about brand “Obama” than they are the safety and security of this country. Loven later says she doesn’t think that’s the main concern, but it’s certainly one of the primary concerns.
Then Juan dips his naieve toe in the water, stating that “we all know” this was a lone-wolf attack and not tied to Al Qaeda, to which Ingraham and Kristol both repeatedly and rightly state “we don’t know that!” and we don’t – we DON’T know that.
There’ll be more about this act of terror in the days to come. Too bad our government idiots appear to have allowed Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab the ability to “lawyer up” by reading his Miranda warning. But isn’t he a Nigerian citizen? If so, why is afforded Miranda warnings?
Never mind…and forget I said “terrorist attack;” it was obviously an attempt at an act of “man-caused disaster” in the “overseas contingency operation.”
Hello, everyone. I’m sure you’ve noticed my lack of posts lately. Probably not, but maybe. In any event, I have to say that with all the political news of late…the healthcare bill, the KSM trial moving to NYC, Gitmo closing, etc., my mood has been less than optimal. Add to that the coming holiday season and the uncertainty of this country’s economic fate, I’m feeling a bit defeated at the moment.
Yes, I know that things will/can change, but I need some time to break out of this funk. I, like many others, feel overwhelmed by what’s being done to us, and I feel somewhat helpless. I know I’m not alone, and I know there are others who feel like me. But I’m afraid the “bah-hum” bug has bitten me during this time period. I’m taking this holiday season to re-group, re-think, and re-commit myself to forging ahead to affect REAL change for this country. And not the “hopey-changey” type crap; but the real back-to-basics type of reversion to our values and principles this country has seemingly forgotten.
I will be back stronger and better than ever in 2010, which is really only a week away. I’ll see you guys then, and be full of piss & vinegar to be sure.
But I will end this post with this politically-incorrect message: MERRY CHRISTMAS to all!
Hi… please forgive the appearance of my site. I have a tag somewhere in the code that is wreaking havoc, and until I can find it, my site is all caddywampus on me. Please bear with me as I work to correct it.
Listen…I’m no fan of Obama, and like Mark Levin, I’d vote for a can of orange juice before I’d vote for Obama in 2012. Somewhere along the way, just because our president is black, videos like this are becoming more mainstream and more acceptable on YouTube and other sites, and it should not be.
This is tastleless to the n’th degree, but if it’s okay for black people to do this, how is anything ANY of the Republican candidates do remotely deemed racist at all?
If this country ever truly wants to progress and become a more civilized nation, why is trash like this even tolerated? I’m not asking for this garbage to be censored, but I’d love to see at least SOME condemnation of things like this to be more prevalent. Can we please all agree this is unacceptable in a civilized world? You cannot condemn one group of people for being allegedly “racist” while simultaneously approving of another group of people for creating videos such as this, villifying a single race of people in the process of glorifying the creators of these videos? One need only search certain terms on YouTube to find thousands of videos like this one. And they’re all equally disgusting.
What say you, Eugene Robinson, Goldie Taylor, Donna Brazile, Marc Lamont Hill, etc., etc.? I’m waiting for you all to openly condemn videos like this on YouTube. If you don’t, then I have no reason to listen to your small and petty complaints of racism from Fox News, Republicans as a whole, and GOP candidates in the 2012 primary. Your silence about videos like this are tacit approval of them.
As is said in many places, “hilarity ensues” (h/t Mediaite):
Frances Martel does a fabulous write-up about it, and I couldn’t have said it any better, so here it is direct from the Mediaite post:
“Are you offended?” O’Reilly asked Harpootlian, who replied that he was not, but that he found the fact that Republicans had “no outreach to African Americans” a problem “in a state where we have an African-American Republican Congressman.” “Adding insult to injury, this debate ignoring Martin Luther King’s birthday!” he added, which made O’Reilly ask who was ignoring the debate and why. The Republicans, Harpootlian replied, because “no one has raised any issue with Fox about it being appropriate or inappropriate.”
O’Reilly then asked whether there was a reason for this– namely, something that happened in 2008. Harpootlian did not remember what happened in 2008 (a Democratic primary debate on Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day) and who sponsored it (the Congressional Black Caucus), which prompted several awkward seconds where Harpootlian was obviously caught flat-footed. With this development, O’Reilly then told him that, “by injecting race into this, you do a disservice.” Harpootlian finally replied, blaming Republicans for injecting race into the matter by calling this “the most important election since 1860.” “We in the South have a little different version of that election,” he noted, suggesting that talking to Southerners in such a way was a sort of dog whistle. O’Reilly disagreed and just asked Harpootlian to give it up, adding, “you’re getting killed here!”
Today on Neil Cavuto, radio talk show host and constitutional scholar, Mark Levin was on to discuss his new book, “Ameritopia.”
Levin’s previous book, “Liberty and Tyranny” was a best-seller, as was another book before that titled, “Men in Black.” “Liberty and Tyranny” is a must-read for anybody who wants to know how we got to the point where we are in America today.
I’ve been stewing on this and stewing on this figuring out the right way to convey how I feel about it, and I’ve been struggling with just the right words to describe my sentiment. I read a fabulous screed by Deebow over at BlackFive, but it wasn’t until I saw the headline in a Weekly Standard piece today that quoted Lt. Col. Allen West (R-FL) on this matter. I couldn’t have said it better myself:
‘Shut Your Mouth, War Is Hell’
Yes, you got that right. Congressman West has weighed in on this flap over the Marines taking a piss on dead Taliban terrorists, sending an email to the Weekly Standard, who got his permission to print what he said. Here’s a portion of his commentary:
“All these over-emotional pundits and armchair quarterbacks need to chill. Does anyone remember the two Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division who were beheaded and gutted in Iraq?
“The Marines were wrong. Give them a maximum punishment under field grade level Article 15 (non-judicial punishment), place a General Officer level letter of reprimand in their personnel file, and have them in full dress uniform stand before their Battalion, each personally apologize to God, Country, and Corps videotaped and conclude by singing the full US Marine Corps Hymn without a teleprompter.
“As for everyone else, unless you have been shot at by the Taliban, shut your mouth, war is hell.”
I’m not even quite sure that what the Marines did was wrong, but since when in the hell did we become so indignant and self-righteously outraged about treating killers like they deserve to be treated? Sure, they probably shouldn’t have videotaped what they did, but who the hell cares? And don’t give me this “don’t stoop to their level” B.S. either. Until you have been in the shoes of our warriors, or our first responders (cops, firefighters, etc.), or, heck, even ever been a crime victim yourself, you have no idea what you would do, given the same circumstances.
