So according to the left, when Bush was in power, muslim terrorists were provoked into attacking America, now that Obama and democrats are at the helm, Muslims who actually try, but fail, to blow something up are just clueless rubes who were duped by the all-knowing and all-powerful federal government and there really is no terrorist threat to worry about.

Yep.

Bush was only guilty of being too gosh-darned Christian while he deposed dictators, and thus spurring otherwise innocent Muslims to commit mass murderer.

But, according to the liberals, now that Obama is President, the CIA is actively running its own terrorist cell indoctrination camps — brainwashing hapless Muslims into becoming killer robots.

And, apparently, liberals see this as a gigantic improvement.

who lacked the intelligence or willpower to avoid getting taken in by a government informant

So the government actually wanted these guys to bomb the synagogue and led them to do so to capture them or what?

wth is he trying to say here?

I thought the Left won and are in power,where is all
the bitterness from the Left coming from,or is it,that
the underlying problem,is the fact that the Left are
really pissed off and ‘Betrayed’by Obama,for not stopping
the war,as he promised all his Liberal sheep who voted for
him!!

Yes, the Left voted for Obama hoping that all this terrorism mumbo jumbo would end with his election and the country would back to the 1990s when Jim Carrey made hit movies and few in this country knew about Radical Islam.

Seeing as these guys didn’t know sh*t about explosives and weren’t even discussing them until the good old FBI began zealously recruiting them…I’m not losing sleep over it.

Suppose you are a criminal, planning bad acts. You are approached by someone who offers you explosives; you then plan a bombing attack. And, you attempt to execute it.

If you were not already inclined toward these acts, no amount of “recruitment” would make you do them.

Entrapment defenses might work for drunk, out-of-town conventioneers plied with faux hookers, but on terrorists?

Meh.

Wow, what a racists comment. Just because the average I.Q. of a particular racial group is low is no reason to bring it up to cover for a Left wing argument.

Speaking of low IQs…

The reality is this. If you actually talk to people in the know in the government, we have averted many attacks. They will not tell you the specifics but it is in fact true.

CWforFreedom on May 23, 2009 at 6:23 PM

Yes. it. is.

But, frankly, it’s also hard not to feel some compassion for what looks like a group of struggling, credulous, under-educated men, existing on the fringes of society

Unless they are Bible clinging, tea-bagging, gun totin’, slack-jawed, yahoos, then they are fair game;)

Oh, did I miss something?

Allah, its easy to downplay the NY synagogue story…those guys are borderline retarded.

Very Pollyanna of me but surely even they were impacted by 9/11.

Maybe, but it just could be that even the worst criminals in NYC would draw the line at supplying anyone using Muslim names with materials that would later be tied to terrorism. I know it’s weak but I am hoping for honor among thieves.

Cindy Munford on May 23, 2009 at 6:42 PM

I couldn’t agree more, on that thought. I have the same hope!

we would have been treated to similar ‘analysis’ (which in this case means libtards with what’s left of their brains in their arses) minimizing the ability of them to carry out the plans,

You know, to this day it STILL seems odd and strange how much damage a couple of guys with box cutters could eventually inflict.

Thus, if we’ve learned ANYTHING from 9/11, it should be to never underestimate the potential harm these people can create.

you would be going too far if you consider the capabilities of these men, left to their own devices, to be something truly worth worrying about.

I have found in my life that raw intelligence is no real indicator of how well and how far someone can/will go in their lives.

I’ve seen brilliant people do some of the stupidest things and I’ve seen people who didn’t graduate high school get rich in life through determination and perseverance.

Thus I simply don’t buy into the “they were dumb thus they weren’t a threat” meme.

Nice…
