There was a terrorist attack on an airline that was headed into Detroit from overseas. The attack did not go off as planned because of a faulty detonator and the result was a burned terrorist. Make no mistake, if the bomb had gone off it would have taken the plane down. Janet Napolitano, Homeland Security Secretary is clueless about what all this means:

Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says there is no indication that the man who attempted to destroy an airliner in Detroit on Christmas Day is part of a larger terrorist plot. Yahoo News

Well, it appears as if the bomber was helped out; “by al Qaeda leaders in Yemen who apparently sewed bomb materials into the suspect’s underwear…” [ABC]

Couple this with a report in the Sun UK that 25 British Muslims are involved in a plot to blow up airplanes and add to that the suspicious incident in an aircraft last month or so and I would say that this might be part of a larger terrorist plot. I would certainly say that there is at least that indication but the Secretary of Homeland Security does not see it that way.

No, this moron is too busy seeing people who served in the armed forces, those who oppose abortion, those who oppose what the government is doing and those who own guns as terrorists and part of a larger terrorist plot to be concerned with actual terrorism.

I am not the Secretary of Homeland Security but it seems to me that if al Qaeda was involved in this then it is part of a “larger terrorist plot.”

Then again, I have a clue and Napolitano is so lost she couldn’t find her rear if her hands were in her back pockets.

Perhaps this story of a “sharp dressed man” helping the terrorist on a plane even though he had no passport is a little more evidence that this was a coordinated effort and part of a larger terrorist plot.

Meanwhile, Barack Obama is on the case. He too is clueless in just about anything as evidenced by him being in Hawaii in a house that is worth millions of dollars on his vacation while the nation struggles with his 10% unemployment rate and his out of control deficit. Obama was notified about three hours after the alleged attack and is now on the case like Sherlock Holmes (maybe more like John Holmes considering what he is doing to the country). Military.com reports:

President Barack Obama has ordered a review of U.S. no-fly lists after a botched Christmas Day terror attack and demanded to know how a Nigerian man managed to board a Detroit-bound airliner wearing an explosive device.

Obama demanded to know how a Nigerian man boarded an airliner wearing an explosive device? I don’t know but it seems to me that this would be easier than a Kenyan hijacking the country and occupying the White House.

And yet Obama pulled that off…

Don Surber has a post up describing who was resonsible for the bloodshed in Iraq and Afghanistan. It was not George Bush as the left has contended for nearly seven years. You know, Bush lied people died, no blood for oil, blah, blah. I know that it will be hard for the 1960s dope smoking retread hippies to actually grasp this concept but the co-founder of al-Qaeda does not blame George Bush for the bloodshed. I know that when the Berkeley moonbats are sipping their lattes and reading their Communist newspapers they will choke on their tofu if anyone draws their attention to who is really to blame.

According to the guy who helped bin Laden found al-Qaeda (among others), Sayyid Imam al-Sharif, Osama bin Laden is the one responsible for all the bloodshed. Sayyid Imam al-Sharif reveals all this in the book he wrote while in prison in Egypt. So get ready moonbats and other America haters because this is what he said:

“Every drop of blood that was shed or is being shed in Afghanistan and Iraq is the responsibility of bin Laden and Zawahiri and their followers.”

Oh snap, that is going to hurt in the morning. George Bush was not responsible and his efforts are actually bearing fruit as this bad guy gives his assessment on 9/11 and other acts of terror:

The 9/11 attacks? “Ramming America has become the shortest road to fame and leadership among the Arabs and Muslims. But what good is it if you destroy one of your enemy’s buildings, and he destroys one of your countries? What good is it if you kill one of his people, and he kills a thousand of yours? That, in short, is my evaluation of 9/11.”

Fifth Column attacks from people who migrate to Britain and other nations? “If they gave you permission to enter their homes and live with them, and if they gave you security for yourself and your money, and if they gave you the opportunity to work or study, or they granted you political asylum,” then it is “not honorable” to “betray them, through killing and destruction.” Don Surber

As Surber points out, the reason they no longer mention the global war on terrorism is because we may have won. The statements of the co-founder of al-Qaeda is certainly persuasive with regard to the idea.

In any event, bin Laden is the one responsible for the bloodshed. Not George Bush or anyone else. The moonbats in the Drive By Media and the moonbats at places like the Daily POS had it wrong all along.

Their BDS did not allow them to see otherwise. But then again, they are part of the problem and not part of the solution so what should anyone have expected…

Barack Obama was pretty quick to point out that there was only one president at a time. He usually pointed this out when something tough came up and he did not want to commit himself to it. The Israeli/Hamas conflict comes to mind.

The one president meme did not stop Obama from injecting himself into other things and if one of them that is now being reported is true, he should be tried for treason. The Washington Times is reporting:

According to GeostrategyDirect.com, a newsletter published by The Washington Times’ ace national security reporter Bill Gertz, “Diplomatic sources said Barack Obama has engaged several Arab intermediaries to relay messages to and from al Qaeda in the months before his elections as the 44th U.S. president. The sources said al Qaeda has offered what they termed a truce in exchange for a U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. ‘For the last few months, Obama has been receiving and sending feelers to those close to al Qaeda on whether the group would end its terrorist campaign against the United States,’ a diplomatic source said. ‘Obama sees this as helpful to his plans to essentially withdraw from Afghanistan and Iraq during his first term in office.’ ” [emphasis mine]

Now, I don’t know who the diplomatic sources are or if they even exist. If this is true then I imagine the source will eventually be disclosed.

This is very serious for several reasons. First of all this probably violates the Logan Act. Not that it matters because Nancy Pelosi and some of her Democrats did that on a regular basis when Bush was president. The most serious issue with regard to this is that al Qaeda is our enemy. If Obama was contacting them to work a truce or work some other kind of deal in return for the removal of our troops from Afghanistan then he was aiding the enemy. I wonder if Obama has been watching how Hamas honors truces? Does he think al Qaeda would be different?

He was in no official capacity. He was a Senator running for the presidency. If he acted in his capacity as a Senator he definitely violated the Logan Act and since he was on an unsanctioned mission and met with our enemy secretly, he committed treason. This, of course, is contingent on the story being correct.

Like I said, the source is not known so this might either not be true or we will never be able to prove it. The accusation is damaging enough especially in light of Obama’s outreach to Muslims in the last week. His first interview was with a Muslim news organization and he blamed America for the problems. He has had them stop playing Hail to the Chief and has replaced it with a Sting song, Desert Rose which is noted for the duet with an Algerian singer. Maybe this outreach is to make good on promises undertaken prior to the election.

I am a bit skeptical because this indicates he bargained to leave Afghanistan but Obama has stated that he was sending more troops there. There is no telling what his intentions are but right now it would appear as if he will draw down from Iraq and move troops to Afghanistan.

However, al Qaeda might have wanted us to leave Afghanistan but settled for something else.

Remember when Obama was holding secret meetings telling Iraq not to make any deals until he took office? Those meetings were denied at first but it turns out he had them.

That means he is not above holding secret meetings.

As for meeting with the enemy? That remains to be seen but considering his past associations he already consorted with the enemies of this country.

Of course, he did say he would be willing to meet with anyone without precondition…

Looks like the terrorist organization al Qaeda is being ravaged by black death. Now they have been the recipients of black death in the form of M16s but this black death is something different all together. Forty terrorists in the group have died as a result of the plague. The plague is transmitted by the bite of infected rat fleas and the death is pretty gruesome. It spreads quickly and does not take very long to kill.

Al Qaeda leaders are worried that the disease will be spread among its members as they visit different terror camps. Drew at Ace of Spades wonders if it is naturally occurring or if they tried to make a bio weapon and screwed up (he also has the Monty Python video posted). It would certainly be worrisome if they manufactured it but regardless of how they got it, I can’t think of a better way for them to die.

I hope it spreads to their members and they all die horrible agonizing deaths. It would certainly suit the manner in which they live their lives. An archaic disease killing archaic barbarians of centuries past.

The only thing I am concerned about is if they try to spread the disease around the world. It would not surprise me if they used their dead as bio weapons. If we are fortunate, they will all die long before that happens. Their leaders, of course, are worried the terrorists will surrender to receive treatment. Such compassion…

Perhaps God has had about enough of these people. I know I have.

Gateway Pundit

The Reverend Al Sharpton, who does not appear to be a real reverend or a religious man, is the House Negro for the Democratic Party. I make this statement because it is evident, as I have reported many, many times, Sharpton is not interested in racial equality and he is not interested in ensuring that everyone is held to the same standards. He does not hold himself to the same standards depending upon the situation.

Sharpton will gladly protest anytime there is news or a report of a black person being wronged by a white person. Sharpton has been involved in a few of these protests even though the entire story was a lie. Sharpton has incited violence and people have been killed because of his big mouth. Sharpton hates Jews and he only tolerates the whites in the Democratic party who can help him with his race hustling business.

Now Sharpton has gotten his panties in a wad because al Qaeda referred to Barack Obama as a House Negro. Sharpton was on Bill O’Reilly’s show and he said that this was a derogatory, racist term and that he would say that NO MATTER who had made the comments. Al Sharpton is upset that our nation’s enemies would insult our president and call him a racist name. I never heard Sharpton defend Bush when the enemy called him names but that is a post for another time.

Yep, the race hustler in chief, Al Sharpton, is upset that a terrorist group called President Elect Hussein a racist name but Al seems to have forgotten that House Negro is exactly how he described Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell when asked how they (and other leaders like them) were viewed by the black community. This was back in 2007 and Al has had a lot on his plate in that time so he probably forgot.

He told O’Reilly that he would call it racist no matter who said it. Of course he was talking about who said it about Obama. Would he call himself racist for saying it about Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell?

Of course he won’t because they are Republicans (and Powell had not come back on the plantation yet). The race hustlers like Sharpton cover for the racists in their own party and they apply a double standard when it comes to Republicans. [begin sarcasm] God knows, no respectable black would ever be a hard working Republican when he can join the Democrats and be used for political gain [end sarcasm].

Guys like Sharpton are the House Negros for the Democratic party. “Yessur Massa Hussein. I’s be a good negro fo you and makes sho I’s only points out things dat heps ya.”

Sharpton has done as much to harm race relations in this country as the KKK (a Democratic organization).

The terrorists wanted Hussein because he is weak

And as a public service, here is a newsflash for the left. Al Qaeda is our enemy, and as such, we expect them to say bad things about our president. The reason this comes as a shock to morons like Sharpton is because al Qaeda and all the other terrorists supported Obama and wanted him to win. Idiots like Sharpton believed it was because Obama and the terrorists could sit down and engage in peaceful talks, hold hands, chant to Allah and end all world problems.

The reality is, they supported Obama because he was the weakest of the two nominees. The terrorists want to attack us and they want to destroy us. They are smart enough to know they cannot do it by confronting us head on so they are doing it from within. They also know that a weak president will be more tolerant of the process and be lulled into a false sense of security. By the time the terrorists spring the trap, it will be too late. With four million people expected in DC for the coronation of King Hussein, maybe that test Biden talked about will come earlier rather than later. Four million people is a tempting target…

Obama won’t have to worry about any of that as long as he has his House Negroes like Al Sharpton in place to display the double standard.

An interesting year this has been. We have Al Sharpton as the House Negro to Obama, Obama as the House Negro to al Qaeda, and Obama as the Magic Negro to half the country…

This is a video of “peace” protesters. They are burning a US soldier in effigy and then one of them burns an American Flag. Notice how they act, notice what they chant and notice how they are dressed. Then ask yourself, is there any difference between these people and the enemy we are fighting? I think the answer is NO and this video also shows us that these people do not support the troops.

I wish I could have been there with a fire hose on full blast and bounced these sorry excuses for human beings all over the ground while putting out the fire. Is it any wonder we question their patriotism? Why is it there is never a deranged driver in a big SUV when these guys are gathered. Death would be fitting for these scum sucking maggots.

The enemy within. These people should be among the first targets should we ever have civil discord in this country.

…against all enemies, foreign and domestic.

***This video is from a little over a year ago. It seems to depict how many of the so called anti war folks feel so I decided to put it up.
