— Ace I'm thinking they're from Teabagistan.
The guy who threatened South Park was in Times Square that night, shouting Teabagger slogans through a bullhorn, like "Where's the birth certificate?"
A Queens Islamic group that warned the creators of "South Park" of retaliation for lampooning the Prophet Muhammed denied involvement Sunday in the Times Square bomb plot.Younus Abdullah Muhammed, who runs the Web site RevolutionMuslim.com, said he was in Times Square at the time the car bomb was discovered, but he insisted he was not involved in the botched bombing.
"What do you think, I commanded somebody to blow up a building in the middle of Times Square?" a testy Muhammed told the Daily News.
NYPD detectives are looking into whether the attempted bombing is linked to a warning issued last month by the Revolution Muslim group against the Comedy Central animators.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said detectives have not ruled out a connection between the Queens group and the Saturday terror scare outside the headquarters of Viacom, which owns Comedy Central.
"It had nothing to do with the 'South Park' controversy. It was not an attack targeting Viacom," Muhammed said.
He seems awfully sure of the bombers' intended target for someone who wasn't involved at all. But then, these people (and I use that word advisedly) are extraordinarily arrogant in their certainty about a great many things (without any objective reason to possess such arrogance).
Security cameras caught a second man running from the car.
For what it's worth, I don't think the guy they catch on tape there is behaving particularly suspiciously. I think he's just a guy.
Allah thinks it's evidence against a jihadist attack that this was apparently so amateurish. I don't really see it that way-- sure, it seems (as of now) like they didn't have a lot of technical know-how, so we can conclude they probably didn't get much expert advice from someone else, but that could just be a case of badly executing poorly-understood directions.

look, i don't know how to make a bomb. but i thought the instructions were on the internet (not that I could ever understand them). how was this so botched?
i thought they were all supposed to die with the bomb? so they could get their virgins?

If ANYONE has practice building and using car bombs, I'll bet the jihadists have extra credit in that activity; hence the substance of the "amateurish" so it must be done by anti-American Muslims argument doesn't hold water.
Besides, "amateurish" is Obama's claim to fame. And it really looks like the perfect distraction from Obama's Gulf of Mexico BP fiasco. Followed Fred Thompson today raking Obama through the oil for not implementing the FEDERAL PLAN in place for decades to immediately burn off oil spills/leaks BEFORE allowing the oil to come ashore.

Half the reason we haven't had another 9-11 is because these guys are uneducated jack-asses. So the fact it didn't blow up makes it much more likely these guys were involved.
But I guess AP gets his information from 24 episodes, so it couldn't be a jihadist. Hmm... must be the Russians! They're super bad asses in 24, and totally don't have a history of embarrassingly bad terrorist acts in real life.
Hey, getting all my info from TV shows is fun!

Question: Is NYC on a raised terror alert? If not, why not?
The Left spent years mocking Bush for his color-coded terror alert system. It minght not have been the best system, but President Bush was trying to keep us safe.
With Obama, we have, apparently, nothing. No system. No warnings. No intelligence.
CONNECT THE FUCKING DOTS and let's find out who fucked up. Right, Hillary, you fargin' douche? Who knew what, and when did they know it?

"Allah thinks it's evidence against a jihadist attack that this was apparently so amateurish."
Like it's evidence that the Ft. Hood shootings weren't a jihadist attack because Major Hasan used handguns and not a fully-automatic weapon or grenades. Look at the attempted propane-tank bombings in the UK, at the airport in Scotland and the nightclub district in London: the ineptitude of the bombmakers is a hallmark of volunteer jihadists.

The evidence against that wingnut Christian extremist militia:
""I think we gotta just start huntin' 'em here pretty soon. ... They're easy to find, they're sittin' alongside the road and they got these red and blue lights on top of their car," Stone tells five others and the undercover agent.
Michael Meeks, 40, of Manchester, Mich., replied: "It's like a Kmart super special or whatever."
At another point, Stone says he knows where four officers live and "we can go burn their house down." Laughter follows.
At times, they imitate the noise of guns and talk about poison, strippers, Chinese troops and United Nations forces — people in "magical blue helmets." But they don't refer to specific people they might be targeting." "
The evidence against Revolution Muslim's Muhammad is stated in this thread.
Muhammad made a specific threat against specific people and a bomb is attempted to be exploded near that location versus drunken morons making general statements about someday targeting police generally for unknown reasons. The Christians are cooling their heels in jail awaiting trial. Muhammad is stirring up hate on his website.

In his case and in the case of the PantyBomber, the bomb was very professional, but the person carrying the bomb was a bumbling fool. Had the jihadists used more competent people to carry the bombs or had they drilled Reid and Abdulmetallab in the proper ignition procedure, those attacks would have succeeded spectacularly.
