Obama Administration removes NYC bomber from terror watch list before attempted attack
More hope and change…
Faisal Shahzad was removed from the national terrorist surveillance list before the Times Square attack.
(CBS News)
The Strata Sphere is all over this story.
Confessed terrorist Faisal Shahzad was removed from the Department of Homeland Security travel lookout list sometime after Barack Obama came into office.
CBS reported:
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 New York Times reported that the person who bought Faisal’s apartment back in 2004 was interviewed by federal investigators.
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.
UPDATE: Faisal Shahzad had contacts with several other terrorist leaders including the radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki, the Taliban Chief, and the Mumbai Massacre mastermind.
ABC reported:
Shahzad also had a web of jihadist contacts that included big names tied to terror attacks in the U.S. and abroad, including the figure who has emerged as a central figure in many recent domestic terror attempts – radical American-born Muslim cleric Anwar Awlaki.
Besides Awlaki, sources say Shahzad was also linked to a key figure in the Pakistani Taliban, its Emir Beitullah Mehsud, who was killed in a drone missile strike in 2009. The Mehsuds had been family friends of Shahzad, who is the son of a former high-ranking Pakistani military officer.
Do you feel safe now?

You just can't beat experience and know how.
As far as Russia goes, have you ever heard of Ronald Reagan?
As far as Cuba goes, have you ever heard of JFK or Jimmy Carter?
Read a book once in a while, please.
JFK attempted to negotiate with Castro for 3 years before the Bay of Pigs.
We have been at peace with Russia since WWII.
Next........
Please put your helmet back on and stop licking the windows.
Further proof that your reading comprehension sux.
Here's why he was removed from the list....

Please stay in school.
Obama must be over 100 years old. Russia has been an ally since WWII.
-Some one hasn't heard about the Cold War, maybe we should tell him.
"Jimmy Carter allowed Castro to dump all of his prisons into the US."
-That's all fine and dandy, but where is there a signed paper saying there is peace between the two sides.
"JFK attempted to negotiate with Castro for 3 years before the Bay of Pigs."
-He wasn't even predisent 3 years before Bay of Pigs.
"Please put your helmet back on and stop licking the windows."
-What is it with you and blindly insulting people under the age of 18?
The deal with Russia is to put military weapons bases in Russia, which is a military improvement and by common sense, it's pretty clear you feel the problem with the various Middle Eastern countries you listed can be solved with the military. The deal with Cuba is so we can begin to trade again with Cuba. Besides, it's time to start worrying about these negotiations helping America, not Afganistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Pakastan.
I don't know about you, but since he came into office, I haven't heard of an attack. I heard of an attempted one, but I guess a magical fairy is responsible for it being merely attempted.
Typical Republican, take your ball and go home.
Why are they evacuating Times Square today then?
God damn you're obtuse.
While I don't agree with everything he has done, here is a fairly large list of good things: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/promises/rulings/promise-kept/
He's not unless you are black, socialist, or unemployed. They love him. The rest of the hard working Americans.....not so much.
