Evidently, the terrorists must have wired the car bomb wrong.  Luckily, the lives of hundreds, if not thousands, of innocents were saved.  Was this a failure of the Federal Government and the NYC police department?  We all know that they will try again and again, learn from their mistakes, and ultimately succeed.

I don't see how it could necessarily be a failure of either the Federal Government or the NYC Police.  If the terrorists are very secretive, then no one would know what their plans were.  Since the police and government can't wily-nily tap phones, do "stop and searches", bug your homes, etc., then they can't be blamed for not knowing everything.  Our constitution is a wonderful thing.  It's also wonderful for the terrorists.  And even if the police could stop 99 out of 100 terrorists, it still wouldn't be enough.  All I can say now is thank G-d no one was hurt today in Times Square.  But eventually we won't be so lucky.  It's very sad how vulnerable we all are these days.

Why could it not have gone off in the New York Nazi Times building?

Good thing I stayed local tonight, did not bother going in the city(Manhattan)... this is the first I'm hearing of this!

I can see how it could be a failure of the Federal Government and the NYC police, why isn't there a couple of undercover agents in every mosque? Why isn't there profiling? After 9/11 they're playing from the political correctness rule book!? They think they can afford to do that? Well that is going to get massive numbers of people in this city KILLED.

WHEN will America learn?

Islam should not be allowed in the United States, or any country actually.  Neither should Nazism.

[Dr. Dan]

This is the first I'm hearing of this and I live in manhattan. If they succeed in one plot we sure they can pull off a Bagdhad job with mutiple car and suicide bombs even from taxi cabs and in the middle of rush hour.

Its time to round up muslims kick them out

I understand why you said that but be careful about those kinds of posts. That's dangerously close to advocating violence even if you aren't actually telling people to go and do it.

Why would they bomb their allies?

we don't know yet if it was qurananimals a child could have built such a device better

[syyuge]

The real democracies may be putting more efforts against their mutual political oppositions than against the real muslamists.

Exactly. We must kick all Muslims out the US if we want to survive.

I just read, that the Muslims admitted, that they did it.

You're exactly right!  It's very hard to prevent this 100 percent of the time.  Matter of fact, impossible.

Exactly. JTF does not adocate violence to anyone.

If the Muslims take control of the United States,    the Leftists who support them are in for a reality check.     That's when the Muslims will turn on them.    Islam commands them to kill all Infidels who don't convert to Islam.     For NOW,    the Muslims are using the Leftists for their purposes.

That much is certainly true. I often wonder whether the leftists are so stupid that they believe the muslims will actually befriend them if they're nice to them or if they believe instead that they'll be able to eventually corrupt them with their ideology like they've done to so many others and bring them over to their side.

Papistan666 is the mother of all terrorism.

Just take this citation of Turkish PM Recep Tayyip Erdogan regarding the EU membership:

"The democracy is just the train we take until we get to our destination: The mosques are our barracks, the minarets our bayonets, the domes our helmets and the believers our soldiers."  He is so clear in his words and there are still apologists who find this amusing and don't take him serious. IF someone is serious, it is Erdogan, the new best friend of Ahmadinejad, the one who stated that "Zionists are bacteria" and that "securitiy for Israel means domination of all countries between Morocco and Indonesia, since the Zionists have planned all the crusades." BTW: Intelligent - as if Jews had not died in the Crusades...

Oh yes, they are that STUPID.

it is partly that, but mostly it is that they hate us so much, they instinctively side with our enemy.
plus don't forget that liberals are victim-whores, revelling in their victim mentality. they view Muslims are victims, therefore they support them.
you cannot possibly support Muslims and gay rights, it is just not consistent.
they are mentally ill...

[rebel_conservative]

authorities are looking for some white guy who was changing his shirt at the scene...

I hope this is not like the DC Sniper case.

This appears to be an International terrorist act

I don't know if it was wired wrong. From what I remember hearing, there was about 100 pounds of "non-explosive" fertilzer that was found in the car. No wonder Bloomberg described the people behind this as "amateurs."
