POPSWhite House Briefed On Flight 253 Bomb Technology Two Months Prior
It turns out the White House was also briefed in October regarding this exact same explosive device " and its ability to make it pass airport screening systems: White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan was briefed in October on an assassination attempt by Al Qaeda that investigators now believe used the same underwear bombing technique as the Nigerian suspect who tried to blow up Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on Christmas Day, U.S. intelligence and administration officials tell NEWSWEEK. The briefing to Brennan was delivered at the White House by Muhammad bin Nayef, Saudi Arabia’s chief counterterrorism official. What is wrong with the people in the White House? You get a briefing on a bomb attack that almost succeeded in killing a key Saudi ally, then the same type of bomb shows up one month later in Somalia. All the while warning signs are blaring about a possible holiday attack and a distraught father is shooting off warning flares about his son’s

POPSRon Paul Slams Cheney: US ‘Doing Exactly What Bin Laden Planned’ CNN November 1, 2004: "We are continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy. Allah willing, and nothing is too great for Allah," bin Laden said in the transcript. He also said al Qaeda has found it "easy for us to provoke and bait this administration." "All that we have to do is to send two mujahedeen to the furthest point east to raise a piece of cloth on which is written al Qaeda, in order to make generals race there to cause America to suffer human, economic and political losses without their achieving anything of note other than some benefits for their private corporations," bin Laden said. "And it all shows that the real loser is you," he said. "It is the American people and their economy." http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/11/01/binladen.tape/

POPSWhat Does the Detroit Bomber Know? Michael Mukasey Former AG Abdulmutallab is the son of a wealthy Nigerian banker. Other jihadists, including the physician who blew himself up and killed seven CIA agents in Afghanistan last week, and indeed the millionaire Osama bin Laden, prove that poverty does not beget terrorists. "Deadly insurgencies" is a half-truth, which omits the fact that the Yemeni government itself has supported al Qaeda and continues to harbor at least two people"Jamal Ahmed Mohammed Ali al-Badawi and Fahad Mohammed Ahmed al-Quso"involved in the bombing of the USS Cole. Then, too, there was the unfortunate metaphor chosen by a senior intelligence adviser to account for why a conspiracy helped along by at least two Guantanamo alumni had not been discovered before Abdulmutallab boarded the plane. There was, he said, "no smoking gun""a clue one would expect to find after disaster strikes, not before. There were, as it happens, many smokeless but redolent clues lying about before the plane took off.

POPSThe Lonely, Murderous Sons of Allah: A Psycho-analytic View
"Thus, the attention a son may receive from his mother (if she is not sent away, as Bin Laden’s mother was) does not make up for the missing and longed-for father. I have often thought that the way many Arab Muslim brothers brutally order their sisters around not only reflects how their fathers treat everyone, but is also a measure of their frustration about not being able to bond with their absent, lordly fathers. Thus, for a number of reasons, prison-style sexuality as well as homosexuality and homosexual pederasty is as rampant as it is forbidden in Arab and Muslim culture. Arab and Muslim sons desperately want their fathers. But their fathers are busy marrying other, younger wives, having other, newer children, and founding financial empires. They want their fathers to redeem them from the shameful fate of living in a world of mainly women–which they do when they are very young; and of course, they want their fathers for reasons of identity and inheritance. Based on his me

POPSChristmas bomb bid complicates Gitmo plan Christmas Day bombing attempt aboard Northwest Flight 253, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, reportedly spent time in Yemen after graduating from a London university in 2008. According to ABC News, Abdulmutallab has told authorities that, while in Yemen, Al Qaeda operatives crafted the explosive device that was sewn into Abdulmutallab’s underwear. “Yesterday just highlights the fact that sending this many people back — or any people back — to Yemen right now is a really bad idea,” said Rep. Pete Hoekstra (R-Mich.), the ranking Republican on the House Intelligence Committee. “It’s just dumb. ... If you made a list of what the three dumbest countries would be to send people back to, Yemen would be on all the lists.” “I think it’s a major mistake,” Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.) said about prisoner releases to Yemen.

POPSReport: Bin Laden Daughter Escapes Captors "They are all just innocent victims, just the same as anyone else hurt by the dreadful events of 9/11 and 7/7. These babies and children have never had any education, never hurt a single soul, never trained with any weapons or ever been part of al-Qaeda," bin Laden told the paper. "We just want to be together as a family."............. Osama was a millionaire and his kids are uneducated...yet he educates young, dumb muslims to be martyrs for HIS Jihad

POPSI Won't 'Vigorously' Back Obama Re-election Bid: Howard Dean SCARBOROUGH: "Not vigorously." Boy, I can almost feel the confetti falling on my head here! My two cents: the MSM has largely been portraying Dean as a principled progressive opponent of ObamaCare. I say that good old personal spite might also be motivating Doc Dean. Remember that it was the very same Robert Gibbs who, during the 2003 Dem presidential primary campaign, was behind a TV ad showing OBL (Osama bin Laden) and suggesting Dean was incapable of protecting American's national security. PBO (Barak 0bama) has also hurt Dean's feelings, snubbing him for the HHS Secretary post which many Dems felt was his due.

POPSBin Laden threatens to bomb Switzerland He attempted to persuade Swiss mountain cows coming off of the mountains, mentioning cows are, "holy creatures and guided by Allah and Hindu's" (what the f**k have Hindu's in common with Muslims?) and they could be used as suicide bombers, especially as no-one would search their cow-bells (perfect place to hide his bombs). Not such a brilliant idea so he's decided to clone his suicide-bombers into Roger Federer look-alikes (dark and swarthy our Roger!) infiltrate Switzerland, bomb the crap out of the place and teach the Swiss a lesson or two in Minaret building! Only place his Roger Federer clones are not allowed to bomb is the Swiss National Bank, Bin Laden has personal interests there, his multi-millions + that other interest!!!!

POPSJon Stewart Rips KSM Trial Criticism & Fear-Mongering propaganda exposed, see video at source beginning at 3:30 mark The truth is that KSM is being tried as a patsy to bring "closure" to the official 9/11 (lie) story , since Bin Laden will never be found "dead or alive". KSM does not have the credibility or mental competence to be "mastermind" of anything. Finally, the "confession" of KSM is "fantasy" gained by torture: See former CIA agent Bob Baer on KSM and torture (video).

POPSHolder stonewalled on potential conflicts of interest "Yes, I will certainly consider that request," he said. "But I asked you for information," Grassley responded. "Will you provide it?" "I will consider that request," Holder repeated, adding that the lawyers involved are "fine public servants" and "patriots" who have "national security uppermost in their minds." Grassley still wanted an answer. "The very least you can give me is a list of the recusals," he said. "I will consider that," Holder said again.

POPSYawn - Dinesh's Same Tired Dogma This guy never adds anything new to the conversation. The same tired arguments, over and over again. For those of you unfamiliar with this defender of the faith, he is a frequent columnist on the World Net Daily. The WND is notorious for such rational positions as backing the Birthers, Creationists, and Christian Nationalists. Dinesh's mainstays are straw men, claiming atheists are a dangerous "movement", and bashing liberals. One could compare him to Glenn Beck without a TV show.

POPSBlinded Prison Guard: Don't House Terror Suspects in NYC Billingsley said she could not discuss whether security measures have changed since Pepe was nearly killed in 2000, nor could she discuss whether any new steps would be taken if more Al Qaeda suspects are sent to the MCC. But those reassurances were little consolation for Pepe and his sister, who said the government was quick to forget the terrible lesson of his attack. "We're such a lax country — we don't learn from our mistakes," Trotta told FoxNews.com. "We have to protect our own, and at this point we're not doing it.

POPS KSM Collects His First Virgin Imagine the security that will be needed for these terrorist trials in one of the most famous cities in the world. Then there’s also the risks to national security these trials would bring. Last month in a Wall Street Journal op-ed, former Attorney General Michael Mukasey noted that Osama bin Laden learned quite a bit from the trial of Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman in 1995. In a statement, Sen. Jon Kyl said, “Past trials of terrorists have proven that our civilian courts are not the appropriate venue to handle international terrorism trials.....Military tribunals "- which have been used by Presidents dating back to George Washington -" are the most appropriate, and secure, forum to try those who commit acts of war against the United States.” My final comment: Obama is a coward. A man would have held a press conference and announced it and defended his stand. He is in Asia instead. The media vetted Joe the Plumber better than the man who is now president.
