Meanwhile, back in the Bronx

By Michelle Malkin  •  June 3, 2009 12:22 PM

While President Obama is busy bowing to the Muslim world, the Bronx jihadi plotters have been indicted:

Four men accused of plotting terrorist attacks on U.S. military planes and a Bronx synagogue were indicted on federal charges. Prosecutors say James Cromitie aka Abdul Rahman photographed “several synagogues and Jewish community centers” on April 10 as potential bomb targets.

An undercover FBI agent discussed the details of two planned attacks with Cromite and his accomplice David Williams aka Daoud, on April 23, prosecutors say.

The men allegedly plotted with Onto Williams aka Hamza and Laguerre Payen aka Amin aka Almondo to use a “surface-to-air guided missile system to destroy military aircraft located at the Air National Guard Base” and wanted to plant “an IED containing over 30 pounds of C-4 military grade plastic explosive material” at Riverdale Temple.

They were arrested on May 20.

The explosives qualify as weapons of mass destruction, according to the eight-count indictment. Each count is punishable by up to life in prison.

    But I thought the MSM said these guys are just hapless “bunglers?”
    Besides, won’t this indictment make Obama’s so-called historic speech to the Muslim world by an American president look less than genuine to the Saudis?

    Oh, but you see, we do. The guy who killed Dr. Tiller is a terrorist, and all attention must and I mean MUST be paid to him.

    Regarding the four men above? They’re just misguided individuals in need of some self-esteem and understanding.

    Ohm, but we do! Pesky Christianist terrorists. Must be especially wary of lutherns, methodists and southern baptists (but only if they are white).

    These guys? Nah, just misunderstood youths. We must open a dialogue with them.

    And still all we have is silence from the White House on the murder of William Long. Not even crickets.

    I have yet to receive a response to my question to the White House website as to whether it was policy that the murder of a provider of late-term abortions by a nutcase was more important and more worthy of a statement by the President than the murder of a young soldier just out of basic training by a home-grown Jihadist.

    If we put a MLRS battery on the border would it be within range?

    They planned war on these United States. They should be shot at dawn for treason, right after being water boarded.

    The Mosque they worshiped at searched, including cell phones, and computers, then said Mosque destroyed with the American flag placed on top.

    That will send a message to all moon god worshipers.

    Unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, the criteria for treason are very strict and very exact. These goons cannot be tried for treason, but attempted sabotage and attempted murder are sufficient to get them the same sentense.

    Excuuuuse me but you can’t say “terrorist” or “terrorism” any longer.

    You can say “troglodytes from hell” and “typical troglodyte activity.” Well, you can say that for a little while anyway.

    You will get away with it a little longer if you mutter “religion of peace” under your breath.

    Carry on…

    I think the reason the founding fathers made it so hard to accuse and try someone for treason was to prevent its use as a tool of political persecution.

    We are at war.

    The only way to get rid of the enemy, is to make war back.

    If I am correct, then laws must change to allow rules of enguagement on a war footing.

    It has come to this fromthe religion of peace, and MS-13 types.

    I do not see how we can win any other way now.

    Over.

    I think the American public does not understand what the enemy has in mind. Perhaps, Belson, and Mumbi are examples for all of us to remember and see. To get in our collective brain.

    Then BZO our weapons.

    When danger approaches, the Ostrich sticks its head in the sand believing that as long as it cannot see the danger, it does not exist.

    While some may argue about where many people seem to be sticking their heads, far too many people in the US still seem to think in a like manner and honestly do believe that as long as they ignore the danger, there is no danger.

    Bzzzt, wrong.

    Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.

    Planning to shoot down military aircraft fits handily in this definition, don’t you think?

    No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.

    Depending on if multiple FBI agents can testify rather than just the one UC, or if they can get them to testify against eachother or confess, as many are apt to do in proclaiming the “glory of the cause”, we may or may not be able to convict… but these goons can sure as heck be TRIED.

    What happened to capital punishment? Isn’t treason punishable by death? Shouldn’t it be?

    I as a taxPAYER have a huge problem with the entire logic of a person commits a crime and then gets rewarded with three good meals a day on me.
