Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab: Yet another reason to not send money to Nigreria when you’ve won the “Nigerian Lottery”, despite never having played.
Ok, it’s been a long time since my last post. So much stupid stuff has been going on it’s hard to decide what to talk about… but now, the first failure of the current administration’s war on “man made disasters” seems to be a good place to start.
In a NYTimes article it says:
“When a prominent Nigerian banker and former government official phoned the American Embassy in Abuja in October with a warning that his son had developed radical views, had disappeared and might have traveled to Yemen, embassy officials did not revoke the young man’s visa to enter the United States, which was good until June 2010. Instead, officials said Sunday, they marked the file of the son, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, for a full investigation should he ever reapply for a visa. And when they passed the information on to Washington, Mr. Abdulmutallab’s name was added to 550,000 others with some alleged terrorist connections — but not to the no-fly list. That meant no flags were raised when he used cash to buy a ticket to the United States and boarded a plane, checking no bags.”
Ok, a series of errors here; namely the guy’s DAD calls the American embassy to report him, officials not revoking his visa—but flagging it to be denied to be renewed, adding them to the list of people with terrorist connections but NOT the no-fly list… (editorial note: maybe that’s because the list is to full of 3 year old kids.) But the most important one that should have flagged him is this…
Dude boarded a trans atlantic flight from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Detroit, Michigan and checked NO bags. Good Lord, people!
Then Janet Napolitano, the Homeland Security Secretary, (editorial note: a woman going after the hottie look of Cher’s Morticia Adams, Yet blending it with the Rosie O’Donnell Bull Dyke meets Old Beaver … (Subsequent editors note: The beaver reference was a reference to Jerry Mather’s teeth… not Rosie’s taste in fine dining.)… Give it up lady and just dye that grey patch with some Just for Men.) ….. at any rate…during an interview on “This Week” on ABC says “The system has worked really very, very smoothly over the course of the past several days”… are you serious woman?
A Nigerian fingered by his own father as a radical get on a inter-continental Trans-Atlantic flight— with no baggage, after being on a list of people with terrorist connections, and having his Visa flagged as non-renewable manages to get past who knows how much security at the airport in the Netherlands with both a BOMB strapped to him and some way to LIGHT the thing and the only thing that stopped him were passengers… and that’s a success??? If that were GW, the left would be having a field day—congressional hearings and screaming for impeachment… That’s just stupid!.
