Obama's Alleged Remarks On Alleged Undie Bomber Suspect Creates Inevitable Disaster
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, December 29, 2009, 5:23 AM
A good solid B+
Yesterday Barack Obama finally commented on the Detroit undie bomber’s attempt to blow up flight 253. The president reported that he had the “suspect” arrested for the “alleged” bombing:
The undie bomber was arrested. He was read his rights in his hospital bed. He was not interrogated. It doesn’t look like he will ever be interrogated. His lawyers won’t allow that. We will likely never know his contacts or who gave him the explosive undies.
Barack Obama doesn’t want to upset the Islamists and foreign leftists.
Mark Steyn added this on the alleged suspect:
There’s a difference between an alleged suspect (which is what he is is the President’s fantasy) and an enemy combatant (which is what he is in reality). If this were a war, we would question him about who he hooked up with in Yemen, who did he meet with in London, and maybe get a lead on attacks to come. Instead, the authorities, having issued the Knickerbomber a multi-entry visa, having permitted him to board the plane, and having failed to detect his incendiary unwear, now allow him to lawyer up and ensure that we’ll never know who he knew in Yemen or anywhere else.

Let’s just call this “Pacific President” what he really is, a Communist enemy who has infiltrated the highest position in America with the intent of destroying us from within. Elections matter, your vote matters, and it has never been more evident what can go catastrophically wrong than this election.

He goes out of his way to alienate all right thinking people to appease those shallow minded on the left. He is going to get a lot of people killed, and then maybe something will be done to remove this traitor from office.

JPL17 commented:
If this were a war, we would question [the Detroit bobmber] about who he hooked up with in Yemen, who did he meet with in London, and maybe get a lead on attacks to come.
That sentence exposes the numbing mindlessness of Obama’s “law enforcement” approach: i.e., we know for certain there are more attacks to come. Can be any doubt this was just the first of a wave? How in the world will Zero stop those future attacks if he doesn’t interrogate the enemy combatant he has in custody now? The answer, I fear, is “he won’t.”
This will end very badly, both for Obama’s presidency and the country.
cal rifkin commented:
until another disaster happens, these libtard bast@rds will continue down the “pinheaded pathway” of treating these as criminal matters…they’re hell-bent on sticking to their politically inspired and motivated strategy of handling obvious enemy combatants as common criminals…it doesn’t make any sense, nor does it have to, when the media and the left follows without a thought as to the consequences.
Robert commented:
This is all for show. This is a pathetic show of preening self-righteousness that puts American citizens at risk for the sake of our nanny’s ego. The administration can thump their chest and say this is the way it should be done, but what would Obama say if someone asked him if the bomber would be freed if he were found innocent?
These are the very definition of show trials, and they are examples of moral hypocrisy at its worst.
Betsy Ross commented:
Our alleged president needs to get an alleged clue that he is all wee-weed up when it comes to dealing with terrorists. Mmmm, mmm, mmm.

Hussein is visibly pissed to have to leave the beach fun and give this uninspiring, unreassuring talk. He obviously just saw the speech for the first time as he was performing it. ANY other POTUS would have reviewed the speech, made changes to reflect his personal view, and delivered it with emotion. WORST. POTUS. EVER.

It’s all good, folks! Obamawiththebanjoonmyknee is allegedly the President of the United States.
Robert commented:
This pretense of legalism is contrary to preventative actions.
Obama states that ‘we will use all of the assets at our disposal’ yet he has already yielded the first and most valuable asset, that of interrogating the terrorist.
He yields further by granting a trial which the terrorist can use for propaganda purposes.
So far, we’re going backwards.

Another fantasy about life after 2010…
Congress will pass a law stating that foreign nationals arrested in the US do not have constitutional rights to trial, do not have to be Mirandized, and may be interrogated.
Congress should set up separate court systems for arrested foreign nationals and ‘enemy combatants’, so as to deal with them humanely but in such a way as to protect US citizens from them. Punishment should include deportation to country of origin, fines, and prohibition for reentry to the US.
gus commented:
Can I remind you folks that OBAMA has a close friend who was a TERRORIST BOMBER.
Think about that for 10 seconds.
Obama has a close friend who blew up American buildings.
dacoelec commented:
These terrorist attacks will only increase, we’ve had two bad ones in 2009, 2010 will have at least 4 bad ones, mark it down. The democrats are in the process of committing political suicide. Get out of their way! The ignorant foolish masses who elected these conniving marxist, communist, islam supporting, freedom robbing b*st*rds need a painful lesson in freedom 101, and they are going to get it. Sad to say it’s the only way these fools will even temporarily realize that actions have consequences. The fact that those of us who see and understand are also affected is just another historical marker that we can’t change in any great measure before 2010. The only thing that seems to change historically is the faces and names…..

Why was this guy ever issued a visa to travel to the US in the first place? It seems to me that the ball was dropped in Nigeria. Whoever issued this visa should be fired, and then hauled back to the US and have to explain to the Congress why a visa was issued to a known or suspected terrorist?

According to one of the passengers, who was interviewed on Fox this morning, he saw the terrorist brat being accompanied by an older Indian man to the counter at the airport. He then overheard the older man telling the airport employee that TB (Terrorist Brat) needed to be on that flight, had no passport but that that was okay because he was from Sudan and they did that all of the time. The employee then escorted the older man and TB away. The passenger went about his business, not even thinking that TB would be allowed to board without proper identification, and didn’t see TB again until the flames at his crotch were being stomped out by the Dutch artist and now hero.

Dodd cut aviation security funding in July
Mark Hemingway has a long memory for budgeting amendments, which he proves at the Washington Examiner. With focus returned to airport security, Mark reminds us of how Chris Dodd paid off a political constituency by getting a little pork to the firefighters union that supported his bid for the presidency in 2007-8, which got $10 million in “firefighter assistance grants” from FEMA’s budget. All Dodd had to do was to get $4.5 million from another source — which turned out to be the TSA’s explosives detection systems:

first this..
New Details About The Bomber
then this..
2009 = Obamas went on lavish $12,000+/day Hawaiian luxury trip, renting three side-by-side-by-side mansions on a beach “favored by Hawaiian royalty”
and i just have to share this..
Thank you former President George W.
Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush
[Honestly, we don’t think President Gore would have been much better that day. The world needed George W. Bush, his bullhorn, and his indominable spirit that day…and we will forever be grateful to this man for that.
As we will always be grateful for what George and Laura Bush did this week, with no media attention, when they very quietly went to Ft. Hood and met personally with the families of the victims of this terrorist attack.
FOR HOURS.
The Bushes went and met privately with these families
for HOURS, hugging them, holding them, comforting them.
If there are any of you out there with any connection at all to the Bushes, we implore you to give them our thanks…you tell them that a bunch of gay Hillary guys in Boystown, Chicago were wrong about the Bushes…and are deeply, deeply sorry for any jokes we told about them in the past, any bad thoughts we had about these good, good people.
You may be as surprised by this as we are ourselves, but from this day forward George W. and Laura Bush are now on the same list for us as the Clintons, Geraldine Ferraro, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, and the other political figures we keep in our hearts and never allow anyone to badmouth.
Criticize their policies academically and intelligently and discuss the Bush presidency in historical and political terms…but you mess with the Bushes personally and, from this day forward, you’ll answer to us.
We hope someday to be able to thank George W. and Laura in person for all they’ve done, and continue to do. They didn’t have to head to Ft. Hood. That was not their responsibility.
The Obamas should have done that.
But didn’t.
Wouldn’t.
Thank goodness George W. is still on his watch,
with wonderful Laura at his side. (more @ link)]
God Bless America!
God Bless George & Laura Bush!
God Bless Soldiers everywhere for putting THEIR
lives on the line to protect us ALL from terrorism!

May the next attack occur where they sit. Perhaps then, when they don’t wake up, others will. I hope it lands on the desk of all of those in the Network News who lied, and continue to lie about this monster Obama. Please let the next attack make a bullseye for NYC Network News headquarters.

Sojourner commented:
Does any American feel safer this morning now that the President’s assured us that the ‘suspect’ that almost succeeded in blowing 300 trans-Atlantic passengers to kingdom come on Christmas Day has been arrested for the ‘alleged bombing?’ I, for one, do not.
Obama’s words, like Napalitano’s, are steeped in those ACLU-ish juices meant to deflect American minds from the realities of the hard, vile war we are in against these barbarians. Their flaccid legalese muddles the true face of terrorism as if to deflect its existence and sedate us from the full chaos it seeks to create. .. Obama does not want to see his new world order domestic agenda eclipsed by a people fully focused on no pastel ‘manmade disaster’ but instead, on the long hard war on terror and exactly what needs to be done to fight back.

The sad part is that even after many dead and wounded on America soil from a terrorist at Fort Hood, it still doesn’t seem to make any difference to Obama in changing his tactics concerning terrorist attacks against Americans. Let’s face it; the guy just doesn’t give a sheite.
Don Rodrigo commented:
Knickerbomber!
HAH!
That’s funny.
TQ commented:
Does this man ever find any event worthy of him putting on a tie? How is anyone supposed to take him seriously when he is not grown up enough to even dress the part of POTUS?
Joanne commented:
The good of the outcome of this attack is firstly, it failed, and secondly, every last person on that plane is going to tell everyone they know about their ordeal, and all those people are going to tell people and so on down the line. Obama’s inaction and referral to the terrorist as being a suspect is going to resonate negatively with the American people to the point where even the left-wingers are going to see firsthand in some instances that he isn’t protecting any American from a terrorist attack.

During World War 2, General Patton would have had him shot first, then interrogated afterwards. Then General Patton would order the chaplain to pray to God for victory for the US forces.
That’s how assasins/spys/sabotars who are caught wearing civilian clothes are dealt with.

Where’s the Secretary of State explaining how State couldn’t spot a problem even when the problem’s FATHER told them to their faces? The guy shouldn’t have gotten a visa in the first place (by normal State Dept guidelines) and it should have been REVOKED immediately with that information.
How BAD was it for the Nigerian FATHER to be moved to go the distance, make all that effort, swallow his pride, set aside his heartbreak, and try to WARN Americans about his son?

Bloviating Terror
[Karl Rove is relaxed, well-spoken, cogent. He quotes the afternoon presser remarks by the bloviating and defensive POTUS, “The American people should be assured that we are doing everything we can to keep your family safe.”
Karl Rove then pounds the Obama administration on its decisions since the Flight 253 event. Rove makes it clear that POTUS views the attack as a crime, as assault and battery, as a one-off. Rove says, “This is not a crime. This is a war.” Rove says, “How much valuable information was lost in the 72 hours after…” “And sweat him as we have seen in a dozen movies…”
Inarguable, on target, comprehensive, passionate, easy listening. My source information is that Obama administration defenders Karen Tumulty and Donna Brazille are in agreement with the observation that Janet Napolitano’s unusual, vapid performance on TV on Sunday 28 was a new crater in the national security landscape of the Obama administration. “The system worked,” is the new jibe replacing “Yes, we can.”
[..]
On Larry King, Tom Ridge attacked the Obama administration decision to read Abdulmutallah his Miranda rights and treat him with lawyers and presumption of innocence. Same question that Rove asks: “Is this a crime or a war?]

Al Q Op
[Uninformed White House
Janet Napolitano’s performance on the Sunday shows was frightful enough to require her to perform a do-over on the Monday morning shows where she reversed her “system worked” statement. Meanwhile POTUS has delayed his statement until today. The explanation from the White House message team is that POTUS believed that any immediate comment would elevate the status of the attack and invite copycats.
This spin is bottomlessly uninformed and the product of a political brain trust that does not heed what we have learned after two decades at war with Al Q and its state sponsors. In war, the first three reports are wrong. Therefore the White House is wise to assume the very worst about the incident and to respond gravely. POTUS was silent.]

Someone on MSNBC just said something really interesting. They suggested that the explosive device might have been meant to fail. The poor slob Nigerian probably didn’t know it but who ever rigged his underwear knew the device would be a dud.
If the explosion was successful we may not have know the apparatus used to deliver the explosives.
Now we are gonna spin in circles to try and determine what people are carrying between their legs in their pants. This may actually be spreading more panic, more terror than an explosion might have done. And we’ll be deverted from figuring out how the next attempt will be carried out. What do you think?

I agree, I am very impressed with Allen West. However, 2012 is too early, he wouldn’t have a chance… Obama and the CBC have poisoned too many whites against considering a black man for the office. I think Allen West needs to win a State Representative seat first. The visibility he would garner as a black republican would guarantee him enough publicity to certainly make him known to mainstream America.
I like him a lot, especially when I found out why he was disciplined by the Army… worth looking into.
