“The defendants wanted to engage in terrorist attacks. They selected targets and sought the weapons necessary to carry out their plans,” Lev Dassin, acting US attorney for the Southern District of New York, said in a statement.

The four men, named by police as James Cromitie, David Williams, Onta Williams and Laguerre Payen, were arrested after buying inactive missiles and inert explosives in a sting operation run by the FBI and other government agencies.


They are accused of planning to detonate explosives near a synagogue in the Riverdale section of New York’s Bronx borough and to shoot down planes located at New York’s Air National Guard base at Stewart airport in Newburgh, New York some 70 miles north of New York City.

All four are charged with one count of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction within the United States, which carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, and one count of conspiracy to acquire and use anti-aircraft missiles, which also carries a maximum penalty of life in prison. ...

Ok, here we have Muslims intentionally targeting Jews. Yet, I have not seen nor heard ANY mention of a "hate crime", which, in my mind, this most definitely falls under the mantle of a "hate crime".

And yet Obama and Cheney went nearly head-to-head over the policy differences between the previous administration and the current one on how to deal with terrorism.

Obama.  Got.  PWNED.

Come to think of it, neither have I. Who are these four, anyways? Nation of Islam members? "David Williams" is not a Muslim name.

According to the FoxNews affiliate doing top of the hour news over the radio, three of the four converted to Islam while in prison.

Is it possible we can put them away for life? Public execution would be better, but not PC.

Of course , if they are locked up for life, it just gives them more time to convert other inmates to jihad against the US.

Like it or not, Obama is bound and determined to get the islamofascists into the USA. So, get here they will. Would you rather have them preaching hate at the Mosque down the street, or doing time in a SUPERMAX segragated from the General Pop.?

They're easier to ventilate if they're preaching the religion of "peace"  :lmao: at the mosque down the street.  The guards at the SuperMax would have orders to keep the "public opinion" away from these dirtballs.

Not one word from Obama on this during that dreadful speech.  My God, how he does drone on and on and on.  All the while doing that tennis match thing with his stupid head.  For the life of me, I can't understand why he's considered such a fantastic communicator and speech-giver.  The run-on sentences, jumping all over the place.  It would get an F in a high school public speaking class. 

Kudos and H5's to the people who foiled this plot.  The prez should be saying that, not me.

The linked article from the OP never mentions the 4 men were Muslim.  I look at the NYT's article on the incident yesterday and they buried that information until the 9th paragraph.  Like this article, the CNN article I read didn't mention they were Muslim at all.

That tennis match thing is the TOTUS , it has two screens, and he alternates reading and repeating as the TOTUS requires of him. I'm told that this man is very smart, but try as I might, I just don't see "very smart". I see clever, but not very smart.

Prosecution: Accused bomb plotters caught on tape repeatedly
Quote
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Four men accused of plotting to bomb two New York City synagogues and fire a surface-to-air missile at a military plane on May 20 were caught on tape at virtually every turn of the plot, according to a federal prosecutor.

James Cromitie, 44; David Williams, 28; Onta Williams, 32; and Laguerre Payen, 27 sat quietly in a federal courtroom in White Plains, New York, Friday as Assistant U.S. Attorney Eric Snyder detailed the contents of what he called "voluminous records" of a conspiracy the government says began in June of last year.

The defendants were charged Tuesday with conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction within the United States, conspiracy to acquire and use antiaircraft missiles and six other counts. They face a maximum penalty of life in prison.

The government has 45 DVDs, Snyder said, each with one to two hours of video showing the defendants plotting and putting their plan into motion, from conception to execution.

Dumbasses. :whatever:

Where's our new Islamic apologist?  Why hasn't he come in here and told us that we're all wrong about these four misguided souls?

Robert, aka Salaam, is busy trying to sell the masses on just how wonderful he and his religion are.

He really does try to be outraged at the shit that outrages most of us (this particular terrorist attempt as well), and I think in practice he is.

But he continues to sell himself and his horseshit religion.

I have to applaud him, though. He's persistent. And he's a former Marine.

You ought to get him to tell you the circumstances as to how he converted to Islam. It happened within a few short weeks after 9/11, IIRC. Unbelievable.

Unbelievable indeed.  To an outside observer it would appear he converted in anticipation of a Muslim takeover of the country and wanted to hedge his bets.

But that's just me.
