Want to fix the problem illustrated by Umar Farouk Abdul Mutallab’s attempted attack on the U.S.? Simple look at changing the United States’ greatest bureaucratic hindrances to intelligence and law enforcement activities: the Department of State. While misleading media reports might implicate the CIA with improper routing of information, the likelihood that information was passed through the Regional Security Office of State’s Diplomatic Security Service is much more plausible. And why was the visa not revoked? 22 C.F.R. § 42.82(a) authorizes consular officers to revoke visas if the consular obtains information after the issuance of a visa that an alien was ineligible. The first tour of duty for a junior Foreign Service Officer is to serve as a Consular Officer. This negligent policy reflects the low-level importance that Department of State places on this vital duty having a direct nexus to our national security. In the embassies of other nations it has long been a practice to have seasoned border officials issue visas- but not the United States? In addition, because State Department does not want the Department of Homeland security looking over their shoulder at the visa process (they hand out visas to make foreign government contacts) they have worked to block the Congress’ efforts in the statutorily mandated Visa Security units by bureaucratic process in the outdated National Security Decision Directive (NSDD) 38 process. Foreign Service Officers are known to write lots of “cables” that pontificate about “good governance” and attend wine and o’ devours parties. Foreign Service Officers live with excessive housing benefits overseas (and servants) that are most certainly far above what normal United States citizens enjoy. This colossal federal agency receives close to 50 billion a year in tax payer funds, far more than say the Department of Homeland Security, while this federal agency adds to its coffers by levying charges (ICASS) on other federal agencies- and without any results…look around the world- Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, North Korea, the Middle East, Africa…what are we paying for? We could likely improve our foreign relations and afford health care if Congress would dismantle this colossal federal Department. Not likely- this Department would make the top lobbyists jealous they have numerous tax payer salaried employees embedded in House & Senate subcommittees posing as “experts.”

I think governments throughout the world should devote more attention to security as the botched terrorism is a clarion call to not just Barak Obama but to world leaders to be security alert

[...] ABC News has pics of the the accused terrorist bomber Abdulmutallab’s underwear, explosive packet and detonator. How and why after so many years following September 11, 2001 was this terrorist allowed to board a Northwest plane with an explosive device? [...]

Yeah and if you believe Napolitano about “everything working like clockwork” then you also probably believe today’s (27th Dec.) Nigerian on the same flight two days later who traveled without luggage and suddenly became so ill that he stayed in the bathroom for over an hour until they broke down the door – was just a Nigerian businessman and this was an “incredible coincidence”. Yeah right.

[...] What the public is concerned about is how the incident occurred, not what the Obama administration did after it happened! How did this terrorist get explosives on the plane? [...]

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Despite the red flags … this guy was not considered a threat! He was not on the “no fly” list … he was not on a list to be singled out for scrutiny of person and baggage … he was allowed seating in the most vulnerable area of the plan ….

Maybe Scared Monkeys should be in charge of Homeland Security. It appears we could have seen the writing on the wall.

Terror Suspect Wasn’t Considered Threat
Sunday, December 27, 2009

Despite mounting evidence of a sophisticated international plot to bring down a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day, the man charged in the thwarted attack — who was on U.S. officials’ radar for years — was never considered a sufficient threat to keep from flying.

The alleged Christmas Day terrorist had been in one of the U.S. government’s largest terror databases since November, when his father brought him to the attention of embassy officials in Nigeria.

But Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab came to the attention of intelligence officials months before that, according to a U.S. government official involved in the investigation. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because the investigation is ongoing.

Still, none of the information the government had on Abdulmutallab rose to the level of putting him on the official terror watch list or no-fly list. On Christmas Eve, the 23-year-old Nigerian — who later claimed to law enforcement that he was operating on orders from Al Qaeda — was able to carry a concealed explosive device onto a U.S.-bound airplane.

A former Homeland Security official told Fox News that Abdulmutallab’s seat selection does not appear to be accidental, and that he was sitting in one of the two most vulnerable parts of the plane. The suspect was sitting in seat 19A, which is over the fuel tanks, atop the wing and next to the skin of the aircraft.

There is a high likelihood an explosion could be accelerated by the fuel tank, the official said — and that it could damage the plane’s structure and puncture the skin, bringing down the aircraft.

I hope the TERRORIST is in extreme, excruciating pain and castrated himself when he detonated the IED

I’m so disgusted with the way the Obama Administration continues to downplay TERRORISTS ATTACKS on American soil!! Why can’t Osama bin Laden Barack Saddamn Hussein Obama bring himself to call the Ft. Hood and the Flight 253 attackers TERRORISTS??? BECAUSE HE IS ONE OF THEM!!

While the annointed one holidayed promoting tourism for Hawaii…..and wasn’t told for 3 hours about the latest TERRORIST….a heroic Dutch national SAVED the lives of hundreds aboard the Flight 253. Abdul Mutallab’s father notified authorities months ago and still wasn’t listened to. WHY?
What is wrong with this picture?
It’s obvious that these lunatics who want to be with their vestal virgins and bring down as many innocent people will continue to TRY again and again until they SUCCEED and with the present LUNNIES we have leading our country…..they will certainly do just that.
God Help us all.

This new ‘Administration’ is genuinely interested
and serious about obtaining complete and unquestioned
control over We the People. Their apparently ruthless
approach to circumventing our Constitution in the
process is obscene. Permitting dangerous and terrorist
acts to occur only softens the target for the would-be
controllers.

If there was ever a question in your
mind as to just how dedicated these crazies
are to destroying our way of life…

Please re-read the part of the article
again…

Ya know, the part where it said:

> He wired his balls to explode!

I believe I would have to rethink the part of
any program that required me to ignite my own
short hairs. Maybe I’m just odd?

Hey man,

If there’s a heater on my peter, put it out!

Dutch guy saves the day.

Jasper Schuringa dove over four passengers to reach the suspect’s seat, ripped the flaming, molten object off of Abdulmutallab’s leg and put out the fire with his hands.

Terrorist Motto……

If at first etc……and believe me they will succeed…Why? Because our govt. is letting them.
Being forewarned by the terrorist’s father fell on deaf ears…..and totally ignored.
Am I shocked by this? Not on your life, after all, WE THE PEOPLE aren’t heard either when it comes to HEALTH CARE, HOME AND JOB LOSS.

So why should our SAFETY be a concern of BO and his pals……
