Does it matter? Why are we bending over backwards to welcome these people?

If we never let another one in the country again you won't see me yelling and screaming.

Of course you wouldn't. Then we get rid of all the latinos. Then send blacks back to Africa. Then all the "orientals" back to Asia. Then any other non-white group. So when does the next KKK meeting start?

I'd be happy to dispense with any hint of racism and just dispense with idiots. Let us know how happy you are to live in the wonderful non-racist utopia of tolerance that is Pakistan.

I want to know how or why it didn't work. Read where some think he was doped up to avoid suspicion...... so he screwed up the concoction. Unbelievable!

The Detonator failed. PETN is the same stuff the "shoe bomber" Richard Reid used.

It makes it likely that the liquid in the syringe that Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab was trying to inject into his groin area that contained pentaerythritol was the acid mixture. It is alleged Mutallab was trying to carry out the reaction underneath a blanket that he obtained after complaining of stomach pain.

I'd say not allow them on the damn plane with f'n explosives for starters.

On Saturday, Abdul Farouk Abdul Mutallab, a Nigerian, was charged with attempting to destroy an airplane by trying ignite an incendiary device toward the end of a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit. The 23-year-old, who is an engineering student in London, was subdued by flight crew and passengers and reportedly burned by the device.

I think we're all ignoring the obvious: The suspect was educated in BRITAIN!

Think people: 1776, the War of 1812...Healthcare reform! The British are angling to take back their colonies!

Britain Refused him reentry back into the country. They knew something we didn't.

Rep. King Wants Military Trial for Plane Bomber

Tuesday, 29 Dec 2009 08:15 AM


The leading Republican on the House Homeland Security Committee says the Nigerian man accused of attacking an airliner as it approached Detroit should be tried by a military tribunal rather than a civilian court.

Rep. Peter King of New York said Tuesday it will be more difficult for authorities to get useful information from the suspect if he is given the legal rights afforded to defendants in civilian courts, including the right to a lawyer.

The suspect, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, has been charged in federal court with trying to detonate the device as the plane approached Detroit last Friday. The device burst into flames instead, according to authorities, and he was subdued by passengers.

King appeared on NBC's "Today" show.
