Yesterday, the 24th, Hosam Maher Husein Smadi drove an explosives laden SUV into the underground parking garage of a downtown Dallas skyscraper. He left it there, jumped into a car with his accomplises, drove a few blocks, then dialed the number on his cell phone that would detonate the explosives and bring the building crashing down, killing thousands of people who were at work inside of it.
This is not fiction - it did happen.
The only thing ... the accomplises were undercover FBI agents, the explosives were fake, and no detonation occurred.
Smadi, a Jordanian in this country illegally, had been under FBI surveillance for months, after he was identified as a threat because of his militant ramblings on a jihadist web site. The FBI set up a sting operation, and let him go all the way past the point of pushing the trigger. He's now in custody, and will stand before a federal court today.
Hooray for the FBI. Thank God they identified this man and took action - if they had not, he might have linked up with other terrorists and actually carried out the plot. Today, there might be a smoking pile of ruin in downtown Dallas, if it weren't for the FBI's efforts.
Now, after kudos for the FBI, let's see what the political fallout will be - and there will be some. The Obama regime will take credit for this, and point to their new directives and policies as being successful. This is bullshit. The surveillance started many months ago, while Bush doctrine was still in place. I do not know what methods were used specifically to catch this animal, but I think it entirely possible that some of those methods may not be available today to law enforcement after Obama has hogtied them. That's conjecture on my part, but I truly believe it.
Smadi was pulled over for a traffice violation on 9/11/09 (no small irony there!) and ticketed for having no driver's license and no insurance. He was fined $550 and let go. If the local Sheriff's department had been allowed to check his immigration status (as they had a right to, since he produced no government issued identification) - he would have been found to be in the country illegally and detained for deportation. But noooooo ... it's a civil rights violation in the view of the left to ask anyone whether they are in the country illegally - that's discrimination. Just think what the recriminations would have been if this animal had detonated real explosives and this traffic stop came to light ....
Smadi will now be subjected to the US legal system, and have all the rights of a US citizen, including taxpayer provided defense attorneys. If they find a legal hole in the case, this guy will walk away completely free - and Obama's government will probably give him legal status to stay here. Smadi will be treated the same as a shoplifter - not as an enemy of our country who tried to murder thousands of our citizens.
Since it's a federal case, Obama's Attorney General Eric Holder will be in charge - it will be VERY interesting to see how this plays out.......
So, Mr. Obama - there is no War on Terror?

Oh I am thanking God! I have customers and close friends who work in that building. My grandchildren go to school just a few blocks away, and their home, a high-rise within sight. I remember how much real estate was affected when those twin towers came down and shudder to think what my day would have been like today.
I feel like my family deserves a personal apology from our unbelievably arrogant President who actually thinks his experience as a community organizer gave him the skills to do this job - to protect and serve the United States of America!
You are absolutely correct in that he will try to take credit, but the sane all know it's really the men and women who actually are doing their job and the grace of the God he mocks, that is keeping our country together, in spite of this ridiculous fraud living in the White House.
Thank you for such an articulate assessment, even if you did push me to my soapbox!
