Alert citizens avert "person-made diaster"

The Taliban takes credit for the attempted Times Square bombing (H/T: Confederate Yankee).

Hey, Barry, be sure to let us know when you find some moderates.

Update: Yojimbo, in the comments...
I'm sure that hasn't prevented this administration from;

Checking out all the blue rinse shops in Quincy.
Sending a SWAT team to the Scooter Store to see if any weaponized wheelchairs are on order.
Scouring the Michigan countryside for Christian "militia".
Running background checks on the Boy Scouts.
Checking the last known locations of ex-military.
Rounding up all of the people with Ron Paul bumper stickers on their cars in Missouri.

Because we all know who the real threats to this country are.

So President Obaminator wants to start talks with the Taliban. And talks and talks, no doubt. I feel safer already.

I for one welcome another Beer Summit.

On Adelaidenow [Australia] they have an article on the Taliban and how they have threatened more attacks on US Cities, hmmm wonder why they up stepped up their campaign now?
Have to say that the people don't seem to be to worried about the threats in the article or rather they seem to be playing it down.
As Yojimbo points out they seem more worried about Grandma's, etc.
Take care of yourselves over there.

Muslims don't drink alcohol, Yojimbo. At least not openly. So we either hold the Beer Summit in secret, or serve coffee.

Irish Coffee, of course. ;-p

Yojimbo said...

Aw, I know they don't. It was one of my feeble attempts at humor.

I for welcome a Starbucks Summit.:)

RebeccaH said...

Don't kid yourselves. Some Muslims drink alcohol. And when they don't (observing the prohibition against alcohol), they smoke lots of hashish (which isn't forbidden). In fact, I believe the hashish, coupled with inordinate sexual repression, is what makes them so crazy.

Merilyn: Oh, we will. With or without the help of the government.

JeffS said...

Just my feeble wit at play, Yojimbo!

Rebecca, from my time Kuwait, you are more right than you might know. That's a "conservative" Muslim nation, with mosques every square kilometer. Literally -- you could count them from the highways in the new suburbs of Kuwait City.

But there were a lot of drunks in Kuwait, most of them Muslim. You couldn't pick up an edition of the Kuwaiti Times (the English edition) without seeing an article about drunks being picked up in the city. Or moonshiners. Or smugglers.

Most of 'em would jump at a chance for a beer summit!

Update: Looks like the Feds grabbed that "person of interest".

Rumor has it the fellow was not in a wheel chair, was not ex-military, never dyed his hair, and might not be a Christian.

His association with the Boy Scouts remains unknown as of this report.

No thirty.

If Obama starts talks with the Taliban, they'll have a nuclear weapon within a year...
