Nothing worked, and that's precisely the point here. Nobody anywhere in the system, except the guy's own father, made any moves to prevent the incident.

Ergo, the attack was not stopped by the system, but by human error on the part of the perp.

In fact, the guy's little attempt is in one way a marvelous success in that it will make flying even more of a pain in the ass than it already has become since 9/11 and raise ticket prices to pay for the added security devices and personnel which will only add to the administrivia while accomplishing absolutely no-fucking-thing.

As I heard this morning, Janet Incompetano is in full Democrat slip-slide mode covering up her droppings on a marble floor.

A passenger put out the fuse when there was a faulty detonation.
If the system worked no islamic terrorist, who's father warned officials about would have been on a plane inbound to the USA.

With the flower children !of the 60ty!running Hussein administration:"And all of them with their heads impacted in their rectums!what did you expect' smart? or dumb?

Listened to Mark Steyn subbing for Rush this afternoon on the drive back from the in-laws. He was calling her "Janet Incompetano". How appropriate!

Another clear demonstration of ineptitude you poor Americans must put up with until 2012. Even though you may vote out your pathetic representatives in 2010, you still have this child like president. What happened to your country?

And this is another "illegal" activity? You should have your CIA killing these people in the backalleys of Cairo, Yemen and Saudi Arabia before they ever set foot on a plane.

DammitJanet thinks the only people who hijack planes are veterans, right-wing kooks, 'n' Gun Nuts like me....

I understand the Messiah gave her a B+ for this misadventure.....The system worked as well as has his Presidency so far. I posted some where recently we had a Sesame Street President with a Teletubbie Staff ........I think I was over generous in that assessment.

Don Surber posted he would not fly commercial if his life depended on it ....Well,to do so would be betting your life with this crew of maladroits in charge of Security.

I really hope America is paying attention, real close attention to the incompetance of the Messiah & his Cabinet/Czar`s which he brought on board this train wreck of a Presidency.

I find most disturbing even if expected the main stream bozo`s defending the undefensible in this event. When will the Network head`s finally act to remove these agenda driven Assholes & replace them with some honest Journalists or commentators?
Probably not in my lifetime but it should be done soon while some semblance of integrity can be salvaged.

excellent and clever post Denny. I wonder how much worse this has to get before JHE says "Ya know, Islamic terrorism is indeed the problem." He can even blame bush for all I care. Thank God for that Danish film maker too. I'm embarassed. I guess I now know how the left felt about Bush. Never understood it when he was in office. I think I'm feeling it now about the sock puppet in Chief

Ralph, also "The Knickerbomber". LMAO!

I had no idea the system included having a Dutch man on the plane who can leap two seats in a single bound. Interesting system...

up is down.

Of course the system "worked"

Ah! Janet and ZerObama will decide the guy is just a poor misguided youth, and he'll get psychiatric help like the Fort Hood shooter. All those terrorists need is loooooooove....

You should have your CIA killing these people in the backalleys of Cairo, Yemen and Saudi Arabia before they ever set foot on a plane.

Esteban Cafe-
I like the way you think. Boom! Dead. Done. Problem solved...

Janet Napolitano: "The system worked."

Sane America: "Liar, liar, pants on fire!"

Janet Napolitano prefers "man-caused disasters" over "terrorism." The only man-caused disaster we have here is the one that put the likes of her and her minstrel clown of a boss in office

Obama is treating this guy like a criminal. Obama said this guy acted in "isolation". Like a lone gunman who robs a convenience store. Then why did they ramp up all the anti-terrorist regulations? Their behavior doesn't track with their spin.

Bou - they refer to that system as the 'Flying Dutchman' - Hardi-har-har...

I heard last night that he was released from Gitmo in 2007 in a deal that sent him to the Saudi's for... wait for it.... art therapy. I can see it now:

Here are your materials, we're going to build a hamster cage.

But, these are bomb making materials...

No they're not! They're tooth picks and we are going to build a hamster cage!

Ok?

And here is your hamster food. I know it says C4 on the package, but it's hamster food! Just don't drop it!

Posted this on another site:

Looking around for Uh-Bama’s public response, I found this:

This young man’s isolated attempt at violence against the decadent, imperialist, arrogant west must not be taken out of context. It should be seenm as an opportunity for us to reassess our national goals as they affect peaceful Islamic nations, rethink the reasons for the enmity such intelligent and well-trained young men have developed for our way of life, rebuild the bridges between our societies with strong foundations of lasting tolerance and patient understanding.

Calling this nice young boy a terrorist, or referring to his disruptive behavior on that plane as a deliberate attempt to bring down an airliner would be counterproductive at this time. What we must do is sit and reason with him, try to discover where we’ve gone wrong in our relationships with god-fearing Muslim countries. No matter where they are born and grow up, boys will be boys, and sometimes they do naughty things.

After all, the enemy is not chronically unemployed, sexually frustrated, intellectually repressed young men with too much money and too much time on their hands—our enemy is CO2, and the source of all our problems with Arab nations is the existence of Israel on their holy land . . . and, of course, George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Guantanamo Bay. Once we get rid of all memory of those things, we can live in peace and brotherhood with our friends in the Middle East, Asia, and Northern Africa.

Ron - sounds like something he'd say...

I generally hate wishing this on ANYONE, but I kinda wish ol' Jimmah would hurry up & start his Eternal Dirt Nap...That was mean, wasn't it ?

You have to look at this through lefty glasses. You fucked the chick and the condom in your wallet failed to do it's job, but luckily the baby was aborted. So the system worked.

The mighty Gubmint F*cks up, so obviously, WE need even more tighter controls on the sheeple at airports...And we CAN'T "Profile" anybody, that would be SO "Racist", doncha know...I'm 52, white, Protestant, have a limp, & have a pronounced hillbilly drawl..HOW MANY terrorists fall into that category ? I think my right NOT to be blown up kinda, sorta trumps THEIR right not to be "Offended" if we have increased scrutiny on 'em... But what do I know-after all, I'm a dumb, ignerunt backwoods, fly-over hillbilly peckerwood cracker...(grin)

I loved how JHE stood there using his deep and serious DADDY voice to tell us all..."we will NOT rest until..blah blah blah!"

then quickly left the microphone and drove off in his golf cart to play 18 holes.

WHEN are people going to wake up and see this hypocritical idiot for the DUMB, USELESS TURD that he is?

Allegedly....

The bomber stated he was just one of many trained to blow up planes & that there were many more soon to arrive in the west to do the bidding of the extremists & blow up planes. This was described as "allegedly".....They still do not get it & will not take threat`s seriously. nothing to see here folk`s! , move along ...business as usual.

I guess a word to the wise here given the lack of comprehension by the Obama administration is to.....STAY OUT OF AIRPORT`S & DO NOT FLY" Obama`s people may not get it but I sure as hell do, Heaven helps those who help themselves.

I hope this clown is out of office before the whole country goes down the tubes.

He's doing everything he can to auger out the hole so's we can go "Down the Tubes" that much faster...But, of course you know, its STILL "All Bush's Fault"...

What ever happened to the Patriot Act? I thought when we caught someone in the act they were supposed to dissappear off to Gitmo. How can we get any Intel from them if they lawyer up? The title of Terrorist says it all. Nine guys, nine rifles, a wall. Blindfold optional. And it's all legal according to the rules of land warfare. Insurgents can be tried and executed. They are not POW's under the rules. Did you know that there was a two year insurgency in Germany after WW II? It was put down by Shooting those that were caught after a drumhead court martial. Obama's folks will never get it. Terror is not a criminal act. It is an act of war and it should be acted on just like any other.

That Administration can't handle Airport Security, and it wants to handle the Health of every American. It's scary...Everybody can stay out of airports. But how can anyone stay out of illnesses? It's scary...

Dumb ass homeboy cooked his chestnuts. LOL

I can only say one good thing about Crappy Nappie..She is not our Governor anymore. Arizona is safe now.

SandyG: He's doing everything he can to auger out the hole so's we can go "Down the Tubes" that much faster...But, of course you know, its STILL "All Bush's Fault"...

I actually saw one of the liberal assclowns on FOX news last night say "it's not productive to worry about placing blame and the American public doesn't appreciate precious time and energy wasted on nonsense when there's so many serious problems to deal with"

So the interviewer asked:
Then why is the left yelling "It's Bush's fault" every 5 minutes... why isn't THAT a waste of time and an annoyance to the American public?

Assclown spluttered and made some weak attempt to say it was time to move past that.

WOW! how conveient!

So now that JHE has been in office long enough for his lousy leadership to catch up with him and his chickens are coming home to roost... it's no longer appropriate to waste time placing blame! LOL!
