Four Terrorist Plotters Arrested in New York
I was headed off to bed when the following item caught my eye. I figured it was important enough to stay up a few minutes longer and post it:
FBI arrest four in alleged plot to bomb Bronx synagogues, shoot down plane

The FBI and NYPD busted a four-man homegrown terror cell Wednesday night that was plotting to blow up two Bronx synagogues while simultaneously shooting a plane out of the sky, sources told the Daily News.
The idea was to create a “fireball that would make the country gasp,” one law enforcement said.
Little did they know the plastic explosives packed into their car bombs and the plane-downing Stinger missile in their backseat were all phony – supplied by undercover agents posing as Pakistani militants linked to Al Qaeda.
[...]
“They wanted to make a statement,” a law enforcement source said. “They were filled with rage and wanted to take it out on what they considered the source of all problems in America – the Jews.”

The talking heads are saying this is homegrown terrorism. No, this was planted and cultivated in Mecca and Medina not here in the USA. Yes it has been imported but they won’t talk about that cause they are the ones who imported them. Heads need to roll and roll again. Of course the muslim world is lagging behind us in every arena, I’m sure they could use some people like these…over there. The USA has become, by intent, the jihadists home away from home.

“The USA has become, by intent, the jihadists home away from home.”
Yeah, I think you’re right, there. Americans don’t do that. But American Leftists are too clueless and wimpy to identify where they are from, and hold their home countries accountable. And, worse, they even bring them here, without bothering to check who they are, or even if they sometimes know!

Obama is the product of the church he attended at the request of his angry wife. If you watch him closely you will see that he thinks all of this is funny. He wants to get even with America and Americans. He is a supporter of islamists over Americans. The gubmint cant catch them all and what with the wild goose chase for constitutional extremists the manpower has been reduced exponentially. Sorry NYC but because of that some of you will have to die. Don’t worry though it’s all part of what we have to learn to accept if we want the democrats vision of a PCMC America. Elections have consequences, yes they do.

One Afghan recruits three Americans in jail and Obama wants too bring more of them here to radicalize our prison population. He is not even trying to hide what he really wants anymore. Never forget who is responsible for this. The names of the guilty are quite familiar…like…Kennedy. Ted Kennedy…disgracing the memory of his three brothers and lovin it.

I suppose that since our gubmint is ok with all of this as an American I need to act responsibly. That’s why I am starting a list, tips for terrorists, the first one is… when planning an attack always try to locate yourself in liberal areas. You will go largely unnoticed, it will be simple to blend in with them and for the most part they are unarmed, sitting ducks you might say. That’s all for today’s.. tips for terrorists…until the next explo, err time, have a nice day.

The Mosque they went to should be destroyed, and an American flag placed on top of the pile. Right after the place is searched for connections to Iran or something.
The cell phones, and computers should be searched for links to more terrorists.
After some water boarding the moon god worshipers should be shot at dawn with rounds dipped in pigs blood.
Love, and kisses.

“The Mosque they went to should be destroyed,”
Just one problem, Leatherneck, …
Sources said the four men were arrested after a year-long investigation that began when an informant connected to a mosque in Newburgh said he knew men who wanted to buy explosives…”
Until we are ready to deal with the whole threat, en masse, without alienating decent people (yes, many Muslims are decent, in spite of the hate the Wahabbist Immams spew at them constantly), we can’t really act any differently than we are now. But I DO have a problem with the fact no one is formulating such a plan.
…and a little something to help Akira stay awake seething at night (like he needs any help)…
