There’s a reason that local law enforcement and agents in other federal law enforcement agencies call the FBI, “Famous But Incompetent”:

Because it is.

Famous But Incompetent

This is, after all, the agency that spent 14 days and over $2 million digging up a Detroit-area horse barn (to find Jimmy Hoffa’s body) and found nothing.  And then, it promoted its Islamopandering Michigan Special Agent in Charge, Daniel Roberts (the guy who dug up the horse barn), to Deputy Director, Criminal Division for the entire FBI.

Given that , I can’t say I’m surprised that the FBI–in its gushing, self-congratulatory review of its “2009 Year In Review–Protecting the Nation Against Terrorist Attack,” missed three “tiny,” “insignificant” episodes, as reader Duane notes, in which it failed to stop Islamic terrorism, despite access to many tips on all three of the perpetrators, tips which got in the way of the FeeBs’ (as they’re called)  Islamic “outreach” butt-kissing policy:

So, yesterday, we learned that–just like with 9/11–the CIA knew about and was investigating Northwest Airlines Flight 253 Islamic terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.  Some reports say the CIA was following his whereabouts and actions as far back as August.

AND–just like with 9/11–the CIA didn’t communicate this with other agencies.  Uh, wasn’t this problem supposed to be fixed eight years ago?

Remember when it came out that the CIA was surveilling 9/11 terrorist hijackers Nawaf Al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Midhar (including when the landed on U.S. soil) well before 9/11, and didn’t communicate this to the FBI?

We now know the same thing happened with Abdulmutallab.

And, given this (and all the other info about the CIA that anyone with even an inkling , it’s kinda funny to note the title of President Bush’s former chief speechwriter Marc A. Thiessen’s new book, out in January:

How the CIA Kept America Safe

Hilarious. Kinda like these book titles: “How Bernie Madoff Made You Billions,” and “The Octomom’s Birth Control Techniques.”

On Sunday, I told you about Kurt and Lori Haskell, a couple of married Detroit-area lawyers who were on Flight 253 on Christmas, when it was attacked by Islamic terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab.  They told a local Michigan news source that they saw a “sharp-dressed man” (who appeared to be from India) help get Abdulmutallab on the flight without a passport.  They also said a second man was arrested by federal agents, in addition to Abdulmutallab, once the flight landed in Detroit.  The FBI essentially called the Haskells liars, saying there was no second person.  I said I believe the Haskells and that the FBI was lying, and for that, I was ridiculed by several liberal know-it-alls.

Well, now, it’s official.  The FBI did lie, and there was a second man “detained” and, as reported last night on Local 4/WDIV–Detroit’s NBC affiliate–currently in “U.S. Customs detention” (which I assume means ICE detention) after a dog sniffed something in his luggage and it was determined to be something verboten.  Yes, the Haskells were right, and it’s also been confirmed by MLive:

A person was detained by customs at Detroit Metro Airport on Friday following Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s alleged attack on Northwest Airlines Flight 253, according to a spokesman for U.S. Customs and Border Protection.

This story is sooo Detroit, it really needs no commentary.

Say Nice Things About Detroitistan

Tigh Croff’s home in Detroit had been broken into three times in the last week.

So when he found two men in his backyard on the 8600 block of Manistique at 12:30 a.m. Monday, the east-side resident — who is licensed to carry a gun — gave chase, Detroit police said.

One man got away through the streets south of Jefferson and Alter. The other stopped running, turned around, put his hands up and, according to a police source, taunted the 31-year-old homeowner.

“What are you going to do?” Herbert Silas of Detroit reportedly asked, his hands still in the air. “Shoot me?”

“Absolutely,” Croff told investigators he replied before pulling the trigger, the source said. Silas was hit once in the chest, killing him.

Check out this photo, below, from the New York Post.  It’s supposed to be a photo of a New York correction officer Nadja Green and a Rikers Island inmate having some fun at her obvious uber-incompetence.  But I’m not so sure.  To me, it looks like Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano in blackface and Barack Obama, while “fighting” Islamic terrorism.

“Buckley F. Williams,” of hilarious Islamic Rage Boy fame and proprietor of one of my two fave humor sites, The Nose On Your Face (the other is The Cube), brings us this about “Umar Abdulmutallab’s Brother“:

Also check out  Buckley’s rendition of Janet “The System Worked” Napolitano (and accompanying brief but spot-on commentary), which I think is a marked improvement on the real likeness.

Thanks to the Rev. Bob Fritch and the Jewish Internet Defense Force (JIDF) for the tip on this video showing the year in anti-Semitic attacks, produced by the Coordination Forum for Countering Anti-Semitism.  I would not have used the same soundtrack, but it’s a pretty overwhelming compilation of most of the disturbing attacks against Jews around the world, many of which we’ve profiled here.  Each is disturbing in and of itself.  But this video, with many of them, is far more so. And, as you will note, most of them come from that “peaceful” “Religion of Peace” known as Islam. Shocker.

As if there weren’t enough stupid, useless college degrees on which to waste tens of thousands of dollars and which will be of absolute no use in getting a job, colleges and universities now have a new one :  “Green Studies.”

Colleges & Berkeley High: Green Love, But No “Racist” Science Allowed

Nope, it’s not a study of Islam, or HAMAS, or fake Iranian “democracy for extremists” protestors, it’s yet another trendy entree into the faddish fakery that is “climate change” and “global warming.”

We already have real science.  And if “being green” was actually of any scientific and engineering value, they wouldn’t need a special “green studies” degree or courses.  But don’t let that little detail or the vagaries of the accuracy of “green theory” fool colleges.  Junk science and pop culture is the “higher learning” of the day.

And junk science rules in the Berkeley school district, which is eliminating science altogether from its high school.  These are the same people who mock creationist theory, and yet, now they don’t want to teach even the basics of scientific inquiry, preferring to focus on quackery.

First there are the colleges:

Colleges are rapidly adding new majors and minors in green studies, and students are filling them fast.

In this video report by ABC News investigative reporter Brian Ross, we learn the Northwest Airlines Flight 253 Islamic terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was already an extremist Muslim in the fancy English school he attended.

We also learn that Abdulmutallab had several “problems,” which he detailed in e-mails over the last six years, including that:

*  he thought Islam forbade attending a high school prom and wasn’t sure if he should go;  and

*  he was worried because he didn’t score well on the SATs.

Terrorist Abdulmutallab Would Have Been Right at Home

at Fadlallah’s Tax-Funded, Prom-Free, Cheating Hezbollah High

Given these concerns, it’s a shame that Abdulmutallab tried to blow up a plane headed for Detroit, rather than moving to the Detroit suburb of Dearbornistan, years earlier, where he would have felt even more welcome than in the UK division of Eurabia.  And both of these problems would disappear, as they have for Muslims attending a public high school, here.

Maybe people should stop calling Islamic Terrorist Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s attack on Northwest Flight 253 a “failed attack,” or an “unsuccessful attack.”

Abdulmutallab may not have taken any lives, but Al-Qaeda (which has come forward to claim credit) and Abdulmutallab seem to have been pretty successful to me.  I think this picture shows just how successful.

Al-Qaeda’s “Failed,” “Unsuccessful” Attack Was Pretty Damned Successful

Instead of profiling people–especially Muslim and Arab people–Americans all over the country missed their flights, missed out on cruises, and had to wait in line for hours, arriving at the airport hours ahead of  flights and throwing out lip gloss, toothpaste, and orange juice. 

So was it really a “failed” attack?  Not really. 

It was actually pretty damn successful.
