Idiot Eric Holder and other Obama Stupid Obama Officials Announce Al Qaida Link to Subway Bomb Plot

How dumb is Eric Holder and the rest of the Obama regime to go public with information that should have remained secret from our enemies to protect our national security?

But, this is how desperate the sinking Titanic that is the Obama presidency has become.

All these political hacks from Barack Obama on down through Eric Holder know how to do is strike a pose and give a speech as if that in itself is an indication of their competence.

Well, it indication no such thing other pure amateurism. “Oh, look we have a link with al Qaida to a subway bomb plot in New York City!”

Oh, isn’t that special. Do you have Adnan Shukrijumah in custody?

“Uh, no. But we have a link.”

Oh, so now he knows and the rest of al Qaida knows what you know. That’s really smart, right?

From The New York Post:

U.S. counterterrorism officials have linked one of the nation's most wanted terrorists to last year's thwarted plot to bomb the New York City subway system, authorities said Wednesday.

Current and former counterterrorism officials said top al-Qaida operative Adnan Shukrijumah met with one of the would-be suicide bombers in a plot that Attorney General Eric Holder called one of the most dangerous since the 9/11 terror attacks.

Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have named Shukrijumah in a draft terrorism indictment but on Wednesday the Justice Department was still discussing whether to cite his role. Some officials feared that the extra attention might hinder efforts to capture him.
Shukrijumah's involvement shows how important the subway bombing plot was to al-Qaida's senior leadership. Intelligence officials believe Shukrijumah is one of the top candidates to become al-Qaida's next head of external operations, the man in charge of planning attacks worldwide.
Full story

This announcement is nothing more than PR stunt to try and give the impression that Eric Holder and Barack Obama knows what they’re doing.

We’re better off with the Keystone Kops.

Breaking News: Pitcher Ollie Peerez Put on DL by New York Mets AG Eric Holder Considering an Investigation

Whispers were running rampant at Citi Field today that something fishy was going on with Oliver Perez and the Mets.

I just wanted to watch the game.

Mets won today 6-1 over the Marlins, and Ike Davis, the Mets rookie first basement went 4 for 4 for the first time in his career.

But, the buzz wouldn't stop.

For those of you not familiar with the Mets, Ollie Perez is a starter for the Mets who couldn't throw the ball over the plate. It was an embarrassing thing to watch and he was hurting the team with his lousy pitching.

For wees the Mets have been trying to get him to accept a trip down to the minors to straighten himself out.

But, Oillie refused to go.

Now all of sudden he has an injury and he's put on the disabled list. Mets fans were jumping up for joy, when rumors started circulating that Eric Holder thought something was afoot.

"We don't need that," one fan said.

"Holder should worry about finding terrorists, or suing BP for the oil leak in the Gulf."

Hopefully, nothing happens with this investigation or maybe Holder will just botch it like everything else.

Mets fans hope so.

Bush Lawyers Cleared in Torture Memo Probe

In a stunning victory that exonerates the Bush Administration’s use of waterboarding that helped keep the nation safe since the 911 attacks, Newsweek reports that Bush lawyers who were targeted by Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama will be cleared of any wrong doing.

“Now the left is going to be upset: an upcoming Justice Department report from its ethics-watchdog unit, the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), clears the Bush administration lawyers who authored the “torture” memos of professional-misconduct allegations.”

This hits keep on coming for the House of O!

This probe should never have happened in the first place and if anyone deserves to be investigated, its President Obama himself for treating terrorists like the common criminal who robbed the liquor store last week.

When will that probe begin?

UPDATE: As of yet not many News outlets are running with this story. Uhmm, I wonder why. But, I wanted to get the reactions of Liberals. So below are the first 20 reactions on the Lib site Think Progress. Some of them are quite funny.


1.
WTF? This is down right depressing. I don’t think the Bush Administration will ever be brought to Justice. All the crimes, all the lies and all the deaths they are responsible for and they will walk away. I not only need a beer, I’m getting a shot of rum.

Sadly, not unexpected. Remember, we mustn’t ‘look back’. Obama thinks it would be rude to do so…

Your logic is a shock to rational minds everywhere. Please crawl back under your rock.

7.Badger says:

From the Emptywheel link:
Margolis is, however, also tied to the DOJ and its culture for over forty years, not to mention his service in upper management as Associate Attorney General during the Bush Administration when the overt acts of torture and justification by Margolis’ contemporaries and friends were committed.

We owe them a debt of gratitude.
We murdered many such ‘grateful’ detainees, didn’t we? Men we will never know if they were innocent or guilty. AmeriKKKa has a new fan in drhunt.

Even children know better than to torture innocent men. Before Bush, we honored our treaty obligations. Now all of our fighting folks will be subject to the same torture we inflicted on others.

What the hell does that mean/???
Torture sure shocked the minds of impressionable Muslim youth, by turning them into avenging terrorists.
The Military readily acknowleges that all hell broke loose in Iraq after the News of Abu Ghraib hit the streets.

Because the America you and I read about in school is no longer the country it once was. It was once a proud and honorable country. The likes of Reagan, Bush, Cheney, Fox news destroyed what could have been a wonderful place to live.

You little nazi limpd*cks think there is “good torture”? And you wonder why people call for you to be put in mental hospitals?
drhunt says:

It need not be illegal to do this.
Because only the criminally insane believe this…
drhunt says:
Yoo and Bybee have constructed legal opinions that will stand the test of time.
Only if we become the fascist state you teabaggers are drooling for. I’m not banking on it, neither should you whackjob.
drhunt says:
They define the tools to be used in intelligence gathering. We owe them a debt of gratitude.

LOL! Torture has nothing to do with intelligence gathering, it’s about limpd*ck p*ssies like you needing to feel “powerful” in the face of being made to feel impotent. It’s nothing more than your psychotic insecurity and lunacy that drives it. We owe them a debt of gratitude for exposing what radical extremist lunatics make up the right wing mainstream!
