Breaking: Obama Administration Removed Faisal Shahzad From Terror Surveillance List Before AttackHe came sooo close to making an effective bomb. If he had used Ammonium Nitrate fertilizer and fuel oil instead of garden fertilizer and if he had rigged things a little differently, this would have been another story entirely.

More hope and change�
Faisal Shahzad was removed from the national terrorist surveillance list before the Times Square attack.
Confessed terrorist Faisal Shahzad was removed from the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list sometime after Barack Obama came into office.
CBS reported:The New York Times reported that the person who bought Faisal�s apartment back in 2004 was interviewed by federal investigators.Sources tell CBS News that would-be Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad appeared on a Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list � Traveler Enforcement Compliance System (TECS) � between 1999 and 2008 because he brought approximately $80,000 cash or cash instruments into the United States.The Strata Sphere is all over this story.George LaMonica, a 35-year-old computer consultant, said he bought his two-bedroom condominium in Norwalk, Conn., from Mr. Shahzad for $261,000 in May 2004. A few weeks after he moved in, Mr. LaMonica said, investigators from the national Joint Terrorism Task Force [JTTF] interviewed him, asking for details of the transaction and for information about Mr. Shahzad. It struck Mr. LaMonica as unusual, but he said detectives told him they were simply �checking everything out.�
Barack Obama began shutting down Bush-era terrorist investigations last year including the investigation of Faisal Shahzad.
We all know what happened next.
Last week Faisal almost blew a hole in the middle of Times Square.
The only thing that saved the people of New York was Faisal�s incompetence.
Unnnhhhh Caleb
First of all, my name is Dave, not Richard or any permutation thereof.
Second of all, the words: "The only thing that saved the people of New York..." appear no where in this post.
Thirdly, very little of that post was written by me -- whenever you see an indentation, that means I am quoting from another source. Whenever you see a line of text boldfaced and underlined, that is the link directly to the source I am quoting.
The vendor was a Viet Nam Veteran -- hardly an illegal.
What the people witnessed was a small explosion and some smoke. Had Shahzad's device been competently designed and built, they would never have seen anything. The quantities of household fertilizer in the vehicle would have killed anyone within a sixty foot radius and injured people out several hundred feet more had it been the correct kind and properly treated.
I'll ignore your liberal potty-mouth. If you cannot speak intelligently, shut the fuck up.
You are making an abject fool of yourself in public and demonstrating a level of blind and willful ignorance on the level of Mr. F. Shahzad.
Posted by: DaveH at May 6, 2010 9:46 PMYou sound like you should focus more on your 'music,' Dickie.
You done wroted: "The only thing that saved the people of New York was Faisal's incompetence." A totally right-wing fuckhead statement, wrong-headed, simple-minded, angry, ignorant and impotent.
What thwarted the 'terrorist' bomb WERE pedestrians, one vendor (who you would probably consider an "illegal") and a cop on a horse. So, fuck you, right wing closet homo. Stick with your accordian, Dick. Write about music. Then go out and do something nice for someone, without an agenda for a fucking change, and maybe you'll feel better.
