Unbelievable. State Run Media Completely Lost On Motive Driving Faisal Shahzad To Blow Up Times Square
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, May 5, 2010, 5:04 AM
It’s as if 9-11 never happened.
It’s as if the word “jihad” is completely foreign to them.
It’s as if they’ve never been warned about this threat to American security.
The AP is perplexed. The news organization has no clue why a college educated Pakistani-born US Muslim would want to blow up Times Square in New York City. It’s as if this was the first time ever they’ve witnessed something like this.
A man accused of trying to detonate a car bomb in Times Square spent a decade on the path to respectability before abandoning his house in Connecticut and deciding to supplement his business degrees with explosives training in Pakistan, authorities say.
Faisal Shahzad, the 30-year-old son of a retired official in Pakistan’s air force, was charged Tuesday with trying to blow up a crude gasoline and propane device inside a parked SUV amid tourists and Broadway theatergoers. He was in custody after being hauled off a Dubai-bound plane he boarded Monday night at John F. Kennedy International Airport despite being under surveillance and placed on the federal no-fly list.
Passengers disembarking from the flight many hours later described a calm scene as he was removed from the plane. They said he didn’t put up a struggle.
This is like stepping into a Twilight Zone movie.
They really can’t be that blind. Can they? And yet, unfortunately, we have a president who is just as clueless to this threat facing America.

These are map-followers. They sit at home and make a beautiful map, and then they are continously puzzled as to why they get lost, when they have this beautiful map. They never once consider the fact that maybe the map should follow the real world, they believe all it takes is drawing a map the way they want it to look, and the real world will adjust to it.
I’m reminded of Oddball in “Kellys heros” assuring his subordinate that, regardless of constant bombings, “It’s a beautiful bridge, right where we want it! Of course it will be there!”

They aren’t blind, they support the death cult.

These progressives should just admit they would rather have thousands of Americans killed than even utter the phrase Islamic Terrorism. They are more comfortable with dead Americans than being accused of RACISM by the terrorists themselves.
Mitch commented:
You are right that this is terrorism, but “jihad” might not be the best word to use.
Just because it presents an air of legitimacy to some religious people.
Male Silverback commented:
Those on the left tend to be so forgiving of our enemies, yet they condemn our own country.
Yesterday someone being interviewed on Fox and Friends said, in affect, there is too much hate thanks to America’s policies, and the way to fix it is to change our policies to make everyone happy.
This is where we are. It will not change until the Taliban has the media elites buried up to their neck in preparation for a stoning.

So, what if it wasn’t a tea Party Taxpayer. We’ll get them the next time around.
But, let me be clear, this MSM spin sucks big time. Even I blow. In fact, Howard Dean and Barney Frank suck… Heck, the whole DNC blows donkey dongs. That is nothing to be embarrassed about.
So, let’s all have group wedgie and think of something new to say. Good Day.
reliapundit commented:
motives:
the koran, the hadiths, the sura and a desire to emulate his prophet.
why don’t all muzlims do it then?
they feel they don’t have to because others are.
from its inception, islam has spread via terror and coercion.
it is more evil than nazism and communism.
it must be erased from the earth.
Kazooskibum commented:
What percentage of AP journalists are Muslim? Just askin’.
pagar commented:
An additional question — what percentage of Democrat propaganda publishers would never dare publish anything which would upset the Jihadists?
jonyjoe101 commented:
When you go to college you become dumber than the average non-college person. In college you lose your common sense it is replaced with a “all people are good, America is bad” attitude. Not all people are brainwashed but it looks like the majority are.
Thats my hypothesis from someone who didn’t go to college. I could be wrong but I could be right. Either that are we have too many communists in America.

God, the MSM is so lame.
Tom in CA commented:
I don’t think they are perplexed at all. This is step toward apologizing for American’s failure in handing a dream life to him.
Jack commented:
Gee, could it be because islamic jihadist declared war against us 12 years ago? As far as I know they haven’t surrendered or claimed victory.
Too complicated for the MSM and the coffee party.
Militant Conservative commented:
One of my worst fears realized. Naturalized citizens (sleeper cell muslims) very difficult to find till they are activated. Prepare, the war is on our soil now and the government will not help you. powder is dry.
Mermaz commented:
I don’t think the MSM understands what motivates Christians to do good either.
They stopped asking questions long ago.
Kevin P commented:
It appears that some on the left truly believe the dribble they spew forth. Apparantly – the NY times truly believes that the U.S. is s the cause – and the “economic disparity” that exists between our culture and theirs is the root cause. The lack of “opportunity” is the cause.
So they are completely perplexed when this “college educated professional” follows the spiritual path that has been beaten (literally) into his head since he was a small child.
Chippy commented:
I think the president knows exactly what’s going on. It’s the white mans fault and “we” deserve it. It fits with his overall plan of taking away wealth and repairation. Terrorism works in cohesion with his plan to scare Americans into doing what he wants too do domestically. It’s part of the divide and conquer strategy.
olm commented:
That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read.
You’re right, the most significant part of this is the citizen sleeper cell and the left is going to be looking at tea partiers and nuts in Mi for a very long time.
Get ready, this is going to get much worse.
Kevin P commented:
IOPIAN identified this perfectly yesterday:
“A person infected with liberalism wants to see the world as they think it ought to be and are often disappointed when forced to deal with the world as it is which exposes their condition of abject denial.”
JB commented:
“they believe all it takes is drawing a map the way they want it to look”
Reality sucks. We want a new reality! Waaaaahhh..

“The AP is perplexed. The news organization has no clue why a college educated Pakistani-born US Muslim would want to blow up Times Square in New York City.”
They are convinced 9/11 happened because our chickens came home to roost.
They believe subsequent attacks are Bush’s fault because we went to Iraq.
They blame attacks on Tea Partiers.
They spent the last year repeating the meme that the tea partiers are the enemy.
And they believed the hope n’ change pony would ride in and save the day. So, in their little brains, I’m sure they are confused.
Chippy commented:
The guy was an anti-war, Bush hater. Some one calll the Jack$$ses in the media. Somebody call the Blooming idiot.

Chippy #27 – you said, “The guy was an anti-war, Bush hater.”
No wonder he felt right at home in the Democrat party.

They’ll wake up when multiple suicide bombs go off outside their buildings. That might be the only thing that wakes them out of their pc comas.
I must say, if it does happen, I hope the members of the old news media, are sitting at ground zero. They are as much to blame, as Obama for what is happening to this country. I’d personally be glad to be rid of them. I hope they go to their little desks every day, with fear!
Joanne commented:
It is because he is Muslim, stupid. Islam first and foremost always.
Chippy commented:
That’s right Kevin P.
He was one of their brothers. Brother of the left, msm, Contessa Brewer, Time Magazine and Mike “Blooming Idiot” Bloomberg. It is a sad, dark day for them. It will not stop them.
Jean commented:

I agree with you. I hope all the terrorist sympathizers are victims of the next attack.

If I were President, every nationalized Arab in this country would be deported. This is America by damn. The melting pot is spilling over.
Patti commented:
It really isn’t true that law enforcement wouldn’t have any idea who the terrorist was. They can figure likelyhood by the chosen target.
Right or left wing extremists wouldn’t be as interested in high population centers where you will get high numbers -indiscriminate collective punishment and target specifics/mostly government.
So, Bloomberg was transparently using the moment to plant anti-Obama care, Tea Party=terrorism in the minds of the stupids. It was extreme cynicism,not to mention duplicitous.
Going forward, I have been warned he isn’t a good guy-just a ruthless guy.He tarnished his brand himself.
And, I guess he forgot Obama’s memo about not rushing to judgement. Go figure huh ?

Top Takes on National Security – How
Can We Thwart Future Islamist Attacks?
[To answer the question how we can prevent terrorist attacks on home soil from taking place, we first must answer the question: What makes the would-be perpetrators wish to murder fellow citizens? The answer, in virtually all known cases, is that they were driven to attempting mass murder by radical Islamist ideologies in which they were indoctrinated in mosques and Islamist organizations right here at home. [.]
The Times Square terrorist bombing allegedly attempted by Faisal Shahzad is the latest reminder of the assault that America is under. [.]
[.] We cant child-proof our way out of the terrorist threat. They best way to stop terrorists is to go and find them and stop them before they attack. That is why we need tools like the Patriot Act. That’s why we have GITMO. That’s why we have to finish the job in Iraq and Afghanistan. That’s why we have to recognize we are in a long [war] against the terrorist forces arrayed against us. That’s why it is important to acknowledge the main threat Islamist terrorist groups and affiliates that want to attack the United States and its interests and allies. That’s why we need a president and a government who are on the job 24-7-365 and don’t try the war on terrorism as annoying distraction from their day jobs. [.]
[.] Americans can expect to have many more such attacks for a very long time (some experts call it a hundred years war) and can only hope the current administration develops a serious intent to deal with this growing problem. [.]
[.] And we need better vetting of those who apply for citizenship from countries where hostiles live in large numbers. Two: We need a sea change in thought. While it is proper for our government to ensure civil rights for all and non-persecution of Muslims, this administration has gone overboard with actions such as barring Rev. Graham’s participation in National Prayer Day and permitting the president of Iran to enter the country. While excessive nationalism can result in tyranny, the lack of nationalism can result in destruction from within. [.]
[.] Adopt the Israel plan of Behavior and Background Profiling (not racial) of everyone who travels to and back from suspected terrorist countries. [.]
[.] I don’t think we will be able to thwart all such attacks, but we must continue to profile, watch Internet sites, and make sure the public is alert, as they were in New York. We certainly must watch women converts – and attempts to wear hijab in public. [.]
[.] Oh, and no civil trials. This is a war. [.]
[.] Almost nine years after 9/11, the Obama administration is walking on eggshells in discussing the enemy in this war. Euphemisms and platitudes do not stop the enemy – radical Islamists. [.]
[.] Mosques and so-called “advocacy groups” with even tangential links to terror groups (such as Hamas) or Islamic schools that promote religious segregation should be monitored closely. Those who use the Internet to promote jihad or revolution should be monitored even more closely [.]
[.] Thwarting terrorist attacks – and improving how we do so – is twofold. First, we have to use commonsense in terms of profiling (political correctness will get people killed), and make sure the public is aware, educated on threats, and unafraid to report unusual activity. [.]
