December 28, 2009 ABC News

Reports say a man who attempted to bomb a flight bound for Detroit was trained in Yemen but a former terrorism czar tells ABC News that the CIA is doing a good job detecting terrorist cells in that country. The untold story here is, the Obama administration is ahead of the curve.

The Obama administration has been in Yemen,top CIA officials for over nine months now, trying to find the al Qaeda cells and theyve done a good job of finding them and attacking them, Richard Clarke told Dan Harris. ...

2. This dimwit didn't fly FROM an American airport!
Unreal! All the screening in this country wouldn't have stopped this idiot. He flew in from Amsterdam. Am I missing something here?

He was given his visa, WHILE he was on a terrorist list, during the chimp and darth vader administration....so it seems sort of mute to lay this one on President Obama.

jim deMint is the prick responsible for holding up the appointment of a chief of the TSA...so if we make mistakes...you can blame it on that butt turd.

And finally....will ANYONE hear the comment he made regarding being AHEAD OF THE CURVE with regards to Yemen?? I certainly doubt it.

Time to bring out the muskets.

5. yeah that kinda bugs me.
Idiot's on the right (including Joe dumb brain) are doing knee jerks. System failed maybe, but we aren't part of a world wide dictatorship. (oh was that Bush?) We can't tell other countries what to do and expect them to do it. (even if Bush tried, which actually he was the Puppet, Cheney was pulling the strings)

3. Now, what in the world motivated this kid to want to kill himself and others?
I will never understand this. I think most of these people are simply mean or mentally disturbed. How old is he? I suspect mental illness in this case. There is no other explanation. The idea that someone becomes suicidal form watching and internet tape just doesn't sound possible to me. There has to be something more to it.

Why doesn't he want to get married, have a family, live a normal life?

So now we have to spend tons of money on equipment that is going to give airport security personnel something to gawk at. How disgusting.

And Muslim women passing through these airport terminals will be forced to violate their religious rules about modesty. I wonder if Al Qaeda has thought about that necessary result of their efforts.

4. This interviewer and others..
get on my damn nerve with this shit about "Do you think that the President is being straight with the American people?" Did they ask this everytime Bush or any other pres did something or made a decision.

Do you really think that he will tell us everything that is going on so that the media can run out and tell the terrorists what we are doing and what are plans are..,.

6. New rule: everybody flies naked!
Short-term: saves us big bucks in airport security measures. Complete security.
Long-term: might do something about our national obesity epidemic.

All in favor?
