| US State Dept Revokes Pantybomber's Visa - (Just-in-time) |
| 2010-01-06 |
| Under the category of looks-like-about-12-days-too-late, the State Department has announced it is revoking the U.S. visa for suspected Nigerian underwear bomber Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. That will show him and who knows how many others that the Obama administration really means business. The 23-year-old al-Qaeda-trained terrorist was on a terrorist watch list because he had traveled to Yemen for training. His father also warned U.S. officials that was State Dept Officials but Hillary isn't taking any blame for this - its all the fault of the intel community he was dangerous. President Obama admitted Tuesday that U.S. intelligence experts knew much about the man but "failed to connect the dots" causing a "potentially disastrous" situation. "Intelligence was not fully utilized and not fully leveraged," the Democratic president said sternly. "We have to do better, and we have to do it quickly." Obama said he found the lapses "unacceptable." And he ordered even more reviews. The president also announced that after consulting with Atty. Gen. Eric Holder, he had decided not to send any more Guantanamo Bay prisoners to Yemen due to the unsettled situation there. But this would not affect his determination to close the prison someday. The would-be bomber from Nigeria is in jail accused of the blessedly botched bombing of a Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas Day that could have killed almost 300 people. The fuse fizzled in his explosive-laden underpants. Passengers had to hit the young male there many times to put out the fire. The suspect is no longer talking on the advice of his court-appointed attorney. |

| #9 We do not know what the Undietallab told the FBI before his lawyer showed up. Nor should we know. His Yemeni handlers do not know either. But they are led to believe, as are we all, that he is silent. Someone is watching and listening or they really are as stupid as they appear. Of course, looking stupid is not necessarily a bad thing. |

| #6 The worst part of all of this is they threw him into the criminal justice system and now he's all lawyered up. No intel, no interrogations, no info, no nothing. That's what is wrong with this administration and their criminal justice approach to the GLOBAL WAR ON TERROR, once a guy goes into the court system we lose any chance of getting him to talk about anything except name rank and serial number. Putting this guy anywhere except in a chair with a spot light and a rubber hose is a disgrace. As long as these clowns treat the jihadis as common criminals instead of terrorists, we will never win this battle. Coming soon to your television set: "The incredible disappearing city" and its sequel: "The incredibly stupid comments made by the leader" |
