The Bomb Failed, the System Failed, and DC Fails to See Our Enemy
Investigators arrested would-be NYC car bomber, Faisal Shahzad, on a plane bound for Dubai. Did the system work? Or, are we very lucky? At PJTV, Bill Whittle talks with fellow PajamasXpress blogger Michael Ledeen to find out what lessons we can learn from this terror attempt.

I don’t know who is worse – Eric Holder or the Muslim fanatics.
I didn’t hear the term Muslim Terrorist from any of those political hacks on TV today. You need a BA Degree in BS to understand their double talk. Luck was on our side this time. Both federal and local law enforcement is pretty effective and would be a lot more effective if they had honest and intelligent leadership. You can’t use the words intelligent and honest in the same sentence with the word politician, so the politicians should enact the law then STFU.
The bomb was a dud. Another anti-terrorism success!! Folks, we are governed by trogladytes. When their belt size exceeds their IQ (excluding Barney Franks) we’re in deep, deep trouble.
The current American administration has abandoned responsibility for nuclear containment. It has promoted international conferences and treaties between like-minded superpowers while a wild rush for nuclear technology is happening throughout the Islamic world. Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, Jordan, Egypt and Lybia have all announced in the last twelve months. The media machine, broadcast and print, touts what it is spoon fed. With growing nuclear material in the hands of unstable regimes in countries which spawn terrorists by the truckloads Americans are at greater risk than ever. The silence on this issue is deafening.
Did the system work? Or, are we very lucky?
…LUCKY IS THE ONLY ANSWER.
Another question would be…how much longer can we be lucky?
I believe Muslims are dangerous and it scares me, period.
Here is your daily fact check. 1. there is no such thing as a moderate muslim. All muslims are loyal to a creed alien and hostile to Western civilisation. 2. pakistan is a criminal state ruled by its intel agency. it is an enemy not an ally. 3. islam is the problem, the same way nazis and stalinists and their sympathisers were the problem in the 1930s.
You are wrong. There are moderates muslims. There are millions of muslims throughout the world that wish to be moderate but they are not free.
The people of Iran wanted to be free and be moderate. How much help did they get? A missed opportunity the world is paying for.
The prejudice and apathy inherent in Submission is not the same as being moderate in the sense the word is used in Western civilisation. It would be better and more accurate to say that there are millions of uncommitted islamics in the world- not yet turned violent, lacking the specific stressor to do so at this point in history. But it will come.

There is no such thing as a moderate Muslim. There are those who follow Mohammed, and then there are the extremists that do not follow Mohammed, and are peaceful.
Extremists are Apostate, and should get a new religion. If they try, they will be murdered by those who follow Mohammed.
Islam is the largest cult of death on the planet.
BZO, or Die!
You are absolutely correct. There are many muslims willing to live non-aggressively in a “Christian” country and would not maim or kill their infidel neighbors. But even the mildest of them believes absolutely that: Islam is the true faith and is destined to rule the world; that the government should be Islamic: that Shariah should be the law of the land; that to speak out against jihad would be to deny their faith.
Theocracy is the central tenet of Islam. Separation of mosque and state is impossible. Mslims are totally unassimilable. They will patiently wait within a democracy until they reach majority through reproduction at a rate 3 times that of the tolerant fools who will not speak against them. This this is an open strategy – they regard with contempt a nation that is so sunk in spineless hedonism that it will not trike back at those who would destroy it.
The strong horse will certainly prevail over dim-witted sheep.

Americans elected to place their trust & guidance in an intractable, bollix, ideologue, who’s deeds reek of subversion.
Bill — for some reason your video won’t play on mobile. This happens intermittently with some of the PJTV broadcasts.
The little tidbit that just emerged, i.e., that this terrorist actually got on the plane and the flight was stopped just prior to lift off, exposes Napolitano and company as abject liars. Not that we didn’t know…
Obama uses the derogatory term ‘Teabagger’ but refuses to say ‘Islamist’.
What more does anyone need to know to understand WHO he respects and who he hates?
The holy spirit is with the USA. Keep praying, Americans.
Hmmm . . . seems that many wish to whistle past the graveyard by noting the relative incompetence of Shahzad. So, we have an amateur, displaying no trade-craft, much less a sense of self-preservation, who manages to place an active bomb in the middle of the day in the middle of Times Square and comes close to escaping, by air no less, from JFK with a whole passel of NYPD and FBI in pursuit. If I were a professional terrorist, I think I’d be very pleased to see all this.
Islam is the problem but the propagation of it’s hateful messages including incitement and intolerance from the pulpets of mosques is not protected speech under the free speech right of the Constitution. It is a civil and criminal offense as well as an act of sedition that should be agressively pursued instead of excused by your politically corrrect White House Administration. America is not now leading the free world but has caught the ‘European disease.’ 20 years from now you will wonder why nearly every city is in a state of civil war. Maybe the Tea Party movement will prove seminal in Americas’ revival and not too soon either I might add!!
Also of note- Times Square bomb monkey is connected to Detroit diaper bomber. DoJ investigation of the christmas day fiasco would HAVE TO include following clear direct links to the Times Square nutjob, and that trace would have occurred prior to 1 May… Unless the DoJ follow up was DELIBERATELY stopped, either due to muslim brotherhood infiltration at DoJ or sheer political correctness – or both.
“Jaish-e-Muhammad, the group now emerging in connection with the Times Square incident, was founded by Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, the 9/11 bagman who delivered $100,000 from the United Arab Emirates to Mohammed Atta at the behest of General Mahmud Ahmed, then head of the ISI.
“Mahmud Ahmed, the man who ordered Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh to bankroll the attacks on the Pentagon and the World Trade Center, was meeting with Republican Congressman Porter Goss and Democratic Senator Bob Graham in Washington DC on the morning of 9/11.
“In the days before and after the attack, Ahmed also met with CIA Head George Tenet as well as current Vice-President Joe Biden, then Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee…
“Former Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf also alleged that Sheikh was recruited by MI6 while studying in London…”
