HONOLULU (AP) - An al-Qaida affiliate in Yemen apparently ordered the Christmas Day plot against a U.S. airliner, training and arming the 23-year-old Nigerian man accused in the failed bombing, President Barack Obama said Saturday.
“This is not the first time this group has targeted us,” Obama said, reporting on some of the findings of an administration review into how intelligence agencies failed to prevent Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab from boarding Detroit-bound Northwest Flight 253.
In his most direct public language to date, Obama described the path through Yemen of Abdulmutallab. He also emphasized that the United States would continue its partnerships with friendly countries - citing Yemen, in particular - to fight terrorists and extremist groups.
The U.S. plans to more than double its counterterrorism aid to the impoverished, fragmented Arab nation in the coming year to support Yemen’s campaign against al-Qaida.

Obama cites apparent al-Qaida link in bomb plot
How do you like that? Barack Hussein Obama has it all figured out. al-Qaida is “apparently” the responsible party for the bombing attempt on Christmas Day! And WOW, it only took him, what, 8 days?
Obama’s homeland security team has been piecing together just how Abdulmutallab was able to get on the plane. Officials have described flaws in the system and by those executing the strategy and have delivered a preliminary assessment.
But wait! Didn’t DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano say that the system worked? Before she said the system didn’t work? Napolitano Acknowledges Security Failed in Allowing Terror Suspect on Plane. Sounds strangely familiar, like something John Kerry might say.
What’s the deal with Dems anyway? They can’t make a statement that sticks. They can’t speak from a position of authority, well, not on anything that really matters, and when they get *called* on their ridiculous statements, they just go with the flow and pretend they didn’t really say whatever it was they said!
A top counterterrorism official said Saturday that al-Qaida and others extremists are working to test U.S. defenses and launch an attack on American soil.
NO!!! Really? Are you sure? Golly gee whiz Mr. Obama-Man, you and all of your terror experts sure are smart and junk! You guys have it figured out now? You really think that al-Qaida and others extremists are working to test our defenses and launch an attack on American soil? Gosh Mr. Obama-Man, you and your buddies sure are smart!
Yes, that IS sarcasm!
I know I’m not a nationally recognized expert on counterterrorism and all, BUT, I, and many of my contemporaries have been saying that very thing since George W. Bush was the POTUS, and that dim bulb refused to secure the borders and coastlines of this nation. Anyone that thinks this nation hasn’t been infiltrated by Islamic warriors is pretty stupid in MY not so humble opinion. And I am telling you, right here and now, they have infiltrated this nation through the southern route from Mexico.
The failed attempt against the plane “is the starkest of reminders of the insidious terrorist threats we face,” said Michael Leiter, director of the National Counterterrorism Center. “We know with absolute certainty that al-Qaida and those who support its ideology continue to refine their methods to test our defenses and pursue an attack on the homeland,” he said.
This Michael Leiter fellow, he’s one of Mr. Obama-Man’s counterterrorism whiz kids. I think in a past life his name was ‘Captain Obvious’!
OK, that’s more than enough sarcasm from me, now it’s hard truth time.
Barack Hussein Obama can barely utter the word TERROR. It pains him greatly to have to admit that some of his Muslim brothers have done something against the USA. Obama is going to take the side of al-Qaida, the Taliban, whatever the name may be. If it’s an act committed by radical Islam, Obama is going to sit on it, stutter, stumble, mutter and put off ANY action for as long as he possibly can.
Islam has a new BFF, and as 2010 progresses, I think we’re going to see just how much of a BFF he really is. For Islam that is…
Oh Buck Ofama!
Too pissed to post!
I’m gonna write about hunting and fishing for a few days, these people have me pissed…
Its no longer the finger in the wind days of Slick Willy, but the finger up the butt days of BHO. He had to step forward, the cat was out of the bag, the jig was up and the news is flooding out. Those words must have stuck in his throat. He still refuses to say “Islamic Terrorist” or “Jihad”. He simply cannot connect Islam (the religion of his father and also his mother if the truth was known) and terror. Thats a bridge too far for this phony prez. Fred this bastard, knew all along it was al Qaeda that directed this attack, he just hoped to keep if from the American people—no more BS Barry!
BHO is going to get a lot of Americans killed — both here at home and abroad.
How will the blame-Bush meme play then?
It sounds to me that Obama is now engaging in what the left would have called fear-mongering just last year.
I think I’ll go dip my bullets in pigs blood.
I’m with you mm26. On the ready. Nightscope affixed on the 308 and zeroed in. Ready to Roll.
Fred, IMHO I think you are absolutely correct about THEM being here and have been for quite some time, thanks to bush and now junior for looking the other way.. When they decide the time is right, it isn’t going to be an “isolated incidence” as numbnuts quoted for the bomber on 253, instead It’s going to be a coordinated jihadi and hundreds, if not thousands, of Americans will die. When this DOES happen
that is when the American people should go after carter, clinton, bush, and stink willy. Every one of those assholes refused to do ANYTHING when America was attacked by al quaida before. They are no dummies, they have our leaders pegged as a bunch of PC cowards and I, along with millions of others Patriots have to agree with them.
I’m with you also MM26!!
However….pigs blood will rust barrels and chambers, big time. why not use pig lard instead…just a little will do and actually provide some lube when things get hot and heavy.
That way, you’ve got both the islamofacists and the libtard, moonbat ‘targets of opportunity’ covered when the “Schumer Hits The Fan”.
And don’t forget…watch that front site and press!
Keep Your Powder Dry!!!
