We can thank God (and the man on the plane whose quick response put out the fire) for preventing hundreds of deaths in what the White House would call an "Overseas Contingency Operation extremist plan thwarted." Have you noticed that the religion of this "radicalized extremist" is being avoided by many in the press? When was the last time "radical Islam" has been mentioned during a terrorist attack? We shall see how many start using the term terrorist again. More accurately, the perpetrator should be called exactly what he is - a Muslim terrorist or Islamic terrorist!
Personally, I'm glad that I didn't find out about the latest terrorist attack attempt until this morning. My family and I were able to enjoy a wonderful Christmas Day celebration. We kept the news programs off for most of the day! Watched the Chargers win again (yay!).
There are plenty of blogs, (like Jammie Wearing Fool Blog) to read about the details of the attempted terrorist attack. Will list a few at the end of this post.
A news anchor at Fox News recently stated that he hoped that this would be a wake-up call for this administration. The guest he was interviewing said that we have had PLENTY of wake-up calls already!
I wonder. Will we still be labeling the War On Terror with such naive terminology as "Overseas Contingency Operation?" Will we still label people like this radicalized MUSLIM 23-year-old, Nigerian Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, attempted murder suspect as just a "man made disaster?"
