I recall last year or before, Sushi told me I didn't have to worry about such acts, that global warming was more of a threat.

Mohammed Wali Zazi, Ahmad Wais Afzali, Najibullah Zazi...

The article failed to mention they're Amish.

I think it's pretty amazing and I'm very thankful for the efforts that the FBI does. It takes more than one agency to catch these guys. I applaud their capture. < :-)

But, but, but ..... the global liberals said the entire world starting loving us again at 12:01, Jan. 20th. Looks like they're on the wrong side of history, again.

"But, but, but ..... the global liberals said the entire world starting loving us again at 12:01, Jan. 20th"

And you were screeching that the US, under President Obama, wouldn't be safe from terrorists - as were several other posters present on this thread.

Let's just be thankfull the secret services are on the ball and not allowing demented partisanship to cloud their judgement like the extreme wings on JT.

“The evidence suggests a chilling, disturbing sequence of events showing the defendant was intent on making a bomb and being in New York on 9/11, for purposes of perhaps using such items,”

Now, it appears that the FBI can arrest someone for thinking about doing something. If my family had been wiped out by drone attacks, I'd be thinking too. Does that me a terrorist?

Libertas,

No, it appears you have trouble reading articles in English...the accused used stolen credit cards to buy ingredients and even researched bomb making on the internet. He even (let me help you,from the article above)'tried to contact an unidentified associate “seeking to correct mixtures of ingredients to make explosives.” “Zazi repeatedly emphasized in the communications that he needed the answers right away,” the papers said. “Each communication” was “more urgent than the last.”'

This was, you know, after being trained in bomb making. I know English is a difficult language, but perhaps you might want to consider a phonics lesson or two before commenting in a way that makes it look like you haven't even seen the article above...

ETA: the accused is alledged to have done the things listed in the article above. Obviously a person should and must be considered innocent until proven guilty in a trial.

Techy today, aren't we? I don't believe for one minute that this scenario played out as we've been told it. Too much booga booga goes on in the US media, all in its attempt to manufacture consent for a new war. What saved the US economy after WWI? Why WWII of course! And the couch potato nation will continue its one-finger remote-control aerobics while it is conned yet again by law-enforement spokesperson(s) who speak on condition of anonymity. Pathetic. Bill Maher said it well, "If America can't get its act together, it must lose the bald eagle as our symbol and replace it with the YouTube video of the puppy that can't get up. As long as we're pathetic, we might as well act like it's cute."

So once again Obama and his gov't protect the US like GWB and his gov't couldn't. Way to go! Now if GWB hadn't created an endless queue of crazed lunatics bent on blowing a portion of the US up in order to get revenge, well, I don't know if it would ever have been proven.

The same people here who are screeching, "See, there really ARE terrorists under the bed and in the closet" are the same people who join the teabaggers in complaining about too much government, while ignoring that that government, with the help of taxpayer money, is what caught these people.

There's simply no consistency in any of their arguments, other than self-entitlement, hatred, volume and stupidity.

I'm one of these liberal minded individuals who expects the freedoms allowed under our laws to the fullest extent. But these people went farther than just talking and opinion exchanging. They were actually buying stuff, doing illegal acts and putting their talking into actions.

The FBI and other agencies must be applauded for seeing what was going on, chasing down the leads and stopping an act against our country that would have harmed many people. < :-)

So you start off with some argument where you feel "booga booga" is convincing evidence, then you follow it up with a blanket insult on all Americans. Way to be, man, way to be.

When a republican was presisent, global liberals dismissed actions like this as "fearmongering", and "booga booga". Now, they say that the U.S. government is doing a great job.

Ah, the hypocrisy.

you were screeching that the US, under President Obama, wouldn't be safe from terrorists

Obama's been worse than asleep at the wheel on the issue of terrorism. His only action to date has been to cripple the CIA and make us far more vulnerable. His only saving grace is that he hasn't traded a terrorist for oil like your nation did, Adverts.

When bush was in office he sent the CIA and the FBI off on wild goose chases. Remember 'we know where the WMD are!' And raising the terror alert before an election and the whole fiasco? dick cheney spending enormous hours at the Pentagon trying to fluff up some cock-a-mammy crap. If george bush could have had some creditability then he might have been taken serious, but he didn't.

Thing different is Obama didn't have his hands in this at all. The FBI and other agencies discovered this, they handled it and they weren't blindsided with garbage in an attempt to boaster Obama's creditability as a war president.

Maybe if bush hadn't allowed the US to get attacked by suppressing information. If he/cheney/feith hadn't made up the WMD trash. If he hadn't sent Powell off to the UN with those glossies. bush and the republicans did that to themselves.

My brother has retired from the military now, but he's still as republican as he always has been and still as involved (double dipping). I remember during the run up to the george bush Memorial War in Iraq his saying, "If you'd seen all the evidence that I've seen..." Well I have and there was none. No evidence that should have gotten us into Iraq. So there's a real good reason that the republican presidents weren't taken serious by the democrats. < :-)

Thanks for bolding your post. That allows me to put a check in the "screeching" box.

Heh, by them catching terrorists before they act?

"When a republican was presisent, global liberals dismissed actions like this as "fearmongering""

The same Republican president that was asleep at the wheel whist somebody perpetrated the worst and most hideous attrocity on American soil ever?

Heh. Good argument you have there.
