The jihadists’ deadly path to citizenship
The jihadists’ deadly path to citizenship

America’s homeland security amnesia never ceases to amaze. In the aftermath of the botched Times Square terror attack over the weekend, Pakistani-born bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad’s U.S. citizenship status caused a bit of shock and awe. The Atlantic magazine writer Jeffrey Goldberg’s response was typical: “I am struck by the fact that he is a naturalized American citizen, not a recent or temporary visitor.” Well, wake up and smell the deadly deception.
Shahzad’s path to American citizenship — he reportedly married an American woman, Huma Mian, in 2008 after spending a decade in the country on foreign student and employment visas — is a tried-and-true terror formula. Jihadists have been gaming the sham marriage racket with impunity for years. And immigration benefit fraud has provided invaluable cover and aid for U.S.-based Islamic plotters, including many other operatives planning attacks on New York City. As I’ve reported previously:
– El Sayyid A. Nosair wed Karen Ann Mills Sweeney to avoid deportation for overstaying his visa. He acquired U.S. citizenship, allowing him to remain in the country, and was later convicted for conspiracy in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing that claimed six lives.
– Ali Mohamed became an American citizen after marrying a woman he met on a plane trip from Egypt to New York. Recently divorced, Linda Lee Sanchez wed Mohamed in Reno, Nev., after a six-week “courtship.” Mohamed became a top aide to Osama bin Laden and was later convicted for his role in the 1998 United States embassy bombings in Africa that killed 12 Americans and more than 200 others.
– Embassy bombing plotter Khalid Abu al Dahab obtained citizenship after marrying three different American women.
– Embassy bombing plotter Wadih el Hage, Osama bin Laden’s personal secretary, married April Ray in 1985 and became a naturalized citizen in 1989. Ray knew of her husband’s employment with bin Laden, but like many of these women in bogus marriages, she pleaded ignorance about the nature of her husband’s work. El Hage, she says, was a sweet man, and bin Laden “was a great boss.”
– Lebanon-born Chawki Youssef Hammoud, convicted in a Hezbollah cigarette-smuggling operation based out of Charlotte, N.C., married American citizen Jessica Fortune for a green card to remain in the country.
– Hammoud’s brother, Mohammed Hammoud, married three different American women. After arriving in the United States on a counterfeit visa, being ordered deported and filing an appeal, he wed Sabina Edwards to gain a green card. Federal immigration officials refused to award him legal status after this first marriage was deemed bogus in 1994. Undaunted, he married Jessica Wedel in May 1997 and, while still wed to her, paid Angela Tsioumas (already married to someone else, too) to marry him in Detroit. The Tsioumas union netted Mohammed Hammoud temporary legal residence to operate the terror cash scam. He was later convicted on 16 counts that included providing material support to Hezbollah.
– A total of eight Middle Eastern men who plotted to bomb New York landmarks in 1993 — Fadil Abdelgani, Amir Abdelgani, Siddig Ibrahim Siddig Ali, Tarig Elhassan, Abdo Mohammed Haggag, Fares Khallafalla, Mohammed Saleh, and Matarawy Mohammed Said Saleh — all obtained legal permanent residence by marrying American citizens.
A year after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, homeland security officials cracked a massive illegal alien Middle Eastern marriage fraud ring in a sting dubbed “Operation Broken Vows.” Authorities were stunned by the scope of the operations, which stretched from Boston to South Carolina to California. But marriage fraud remains a treacherous path of least resistance. The waiting period for U.S. citizenship is cut by more than half for marriage visa beneficiaries. Sham marriage monitoring by backlogged homeland security investigators is practically nonexistent.
As former federal immigration official Michael Cutler warned years ago: “Immigration benefit fraud is certainly one of the major ‘dots’ that was not connected prior to the attacks of September 11, 2001, and remains a ‘dot’ that is not really being addressed the way it needs to be in order to secure our nation against criminals and terrorists who understand how important it is for them to ‘game’ the system as a part of the embedding process.”
Jihadists have knowingly and deliberately exploited our lax immigration and entrance policies to secure the rights and benefits of American citizenship while they plot mass murder — and we haven’t done a damned thing to stop them.

Related: Sen. Joe Lieberman proposes stripping citizenship from Americans who join foreign terrorist organizations:
Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) is planning to introduce a bill that would allow the government to take away citizenship from Americans who join foreign terrorist organizations.
The proposal would amend current law that bars American citizens from fighting for foreign armies at the price of losing their citizenship.
“I think it’s time for us to look at whether we want to amend that law to apply it to American citizens who choose to become affiliated with foreign terrorist organizations, whether they should not also be deprived automatically of their citizenship and therefore be deprived of rights that come with that citizenship when they are apprehended and charged with a terrorist act,” Lieberman, who helms the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, said on Fox News.
But perhaps DHS and the State Department should concentrate on the homeland security front door — making sure jihadis don’t get citizenship and other immigration/entrance benefits in the first place — instead of waiting to deal with it on the back end after the fact.

Sad to say, the top people in government are too busy maligning the Tea Partiers and the “Right Wingers” to concentrate on the correct target for profiling! They continue to play games when history and common sense are telling them who the true terrorists are.
IF the administration and Homeland Security are intent in doing what is best for the country and its citizens, they will not indulge in disparaging the very people they have sworn to protect and zero in on the real suspicious characters! Heaven forbid the ‘amateurish’ perps turn pro before Homeland Security wakes up.
In other news, Janet Napolitano was stunned to discover bears poop in the woods…
When some 30 million illegal non-citizens are allowed to live among us, and protected from being identified as such, (30 million and one if you include Obama), how could anyone expect U.S. citizenship to have any real meaning anymore?
You sound as if Obama and company give a fig’s leaf about the country and its citizens.
I’m sorry to say that all the evidence to date (bowing to our enemies, insulting our allies) strongly suggests the opposite.
When will the women that married these jihadists be hanged?
You think this administration gives a rip about foreigners gaming the system when they themselves do it wanting to grant citizenship to those they believe will enhance their voting block?
As usual, MM beats MSM on true responsible reporting. If only ANY media would do the research as you do.
Dittos.
Double dittos.
Importing poverty from south of the border and importing jihad.
What could possibly go wrong??
A number of changes need to happen with the paths to citizenship.
1. Remove the “anchor baby” provision which was originally meant for the recently freed slaves in the late 1860s.
2. The “marriage” path should have a minimum waiting period of 5 years after the marriage.
3. The ability to create a revolving door for the immigrant’s non-immediate family should be stopped. No more cousins, aunts, uncles, etc.
I’m sure there are a number of nonsensical loop holes that are exploited to obtain farce citizenship that can be plugged.
As to the lamestream media reporting any of this, if you ever had any doubts as to their objectivity, you should read the reaction by media types regarding a new book that was released on Monday called “The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and other Anti-American Extremists“. This reaction was before any of them had even read the preview of the book.
These people truly show the Lamestream Media’s utter bias when it comes to protecting Obama.
Better yet, strip them of their “path to heaven” by dousing them with pig blood, stuffing a hot dog in their mouth and then shooting them with a bullet dipped in pig poop.
Do that to one or two, the rest will quit!
Let’s see, the Secretary of Homeland Security would not say a car laden with potential explosives in Times Square was a terrorist event, the Mayor of the city tried linking it to the Tea Party, and the President of the United States preaching an anti-divisional diversity. Heck, anyone can see it is grandma’s fault, the seniors, the veterans, the religious right, the conservatives, mom and pop…no doubt in my mind. Why a Pakastani, Islamic jahidist would never do anything like that, theirs is a religion of peace.

Excellent column (again)!
The incompetence of this man/child’s administration is simply stunning. It’s like watching the show “Amateur Hour” when his lackeys appear on the television. Pray for our Great Country friends, pray alot.
You know, even worse than the men coming here to commit terror are all the stupid American women they seem to find. 100 years of fighting for women’s rights, and this is where we are?
Of course you are Pookie, and we’ll be struck by the fact of a dirty bomb or an EMP, because you rumpschwabs won’t call a spade a spade! Grow up!
Guess who ain’t getting any, anytime soon.
I agree with stopping them at the front door, but for those who manage to get through, let them keep their citizenship. Then try them (and their “wives”) for treason, and follow up with a firing squad. If we strip them of their citizenship, they end up with a trial, and maybe a nice cell at a “golf club” jail, with lawyers who help them continue to run their schemes from behind bars.

Excellent points too. Those that you mentioned and any others should be closed yesterday!
HOW DARE YOU PUT THIS OBVIOUS INFORMATION TOGETHER?!
What is wrong with you? Are you prejudiced?
No, I’m sure that Washington DC will whine about how much MORE money they need from us to ‘protect us’ when they will NEVER protect us.
They won’t stop southern border violence, they won’t stop BAD people from coming here, and they won’t stick to a budget.
I really have no idea what the federal government is for other than stealing our money. DC does NOTHING to help the middle class every day citizen.
Can you imagine Janet Napolitano believing that without her we would be unsafe? Seriously? Janet needs help, she isn’t in position to give it.
Rogue Cheddar — you keep using the word “rumpschwab.” I do not know what this means, but I like the sound of it. Can you define without getting banned?
Any other country would be able to deal with this problem WITHOUT sending our military half way around the world to get our soldiers killed and waste our tax dollars.
If the STATE DEPARTMENT actually used some of its authority to DENY ENTRY to the US of BAD people, we would be safe for cheap. BECOMING AN AMERICAN CITIZEN IS NOT A HUMAN RIGHT!
VISITING AMERICA IS NOT A RIGHT!
The first thing that usually happens in a war (especially India v. Pakistan) is they CLOSE THE BORDER To TRAVEL. The precursor to the war is India doesn’t allow Pakistanis to come to India, and it doesn’t allow Indians to go to Pakistan.
It just makes sense. It doesn’t cost money or lives. And it keeps the population safe.
If we stopped all visits from Pakistan to the US, I bet the Pakistanis would do a lot more to stop terrorism there (to once again be able to travel to the paradise that is America). They’d do a lot more to help in that case than they would if we continue giving them tens of billions of dollars to be our ‘friend’.
Seriously, how many people come here who have visited Pakistan? 100,000 a year? Let’s say 1 million. Isn’t it worth inconveniencing that small number of people in order to keep the 300M people safe from possible terrorism?
I make this point knowing that not ALL Pakistanis are bad. But we can’t allow that crutch to stop us from protecting Americans. In fact, that’s the reason we HAVE TO do something like this. There is no way to tell if they are bad or not until they try to kill people.
I’m not impugning Pakistanis, I’m solving the problem that Washington DC won’t. We don’t owe Pakistan or Pakistanis anything. They can go anywhere else in the world, just not America. . . and Americans can go anywhere else in the world, but not Pakistan.
It isn’t ‘unconstitutional’ like many will say. It isn’t ‘biogted’ like many will say. It makes sense for our government to do to make America safe (if that’s what they want to do).
Perhaps Lieberman thinks that his idea of stripping the citizenship of someone who tries to murder a bunch of Americans shows his tough stance on terrorism. I disagree. If you commit such an act, you should die. You should not be deported, so that you can continue to war against this country. What would Joe propose to do with those born in this country who also join global jihad? Deport them? Where? Keep them locked up and make them dependents on the state?
If you try to kill a group of Americans, especially a parents and children waiting to see the Lion King, you deserve a swift death.
You don’t want to know…
We used to have a list of “undesirables” that were barred from entering the country. I’m beginning to think Muslims should be barred. Why keep letting a group of people who are offended by the American government and its people. If they want to keep their sharia law and their Muslim traditions, they should stay where they are.
Again, this guy was a sleeper cell when he came to America 10 years ago.
Do NOT believe he was ‘radicalized’ in the last few months because he was distressed about his finances.
He came here with the intent to blend in, not get in trouble, try to get citizenship, have babies that are American citizens (new Jihadis). Then when he was activated, do what he is told, create distruction, and come back to Pakistan.
Why are people so short sighted that they can’t imagine someone planning something for 10 years like this?
How long have they been planning the new building at the WTC site? 10 years or so? 10 years to plan an operation like this isn’t long. There are likely at least another 5000 just like him in this country just waiting for instructions.
Dude made 50k/year and bought a 300k house. The media will blame his radicalism on the evil lender that foreclosed on him.
I think the lack of DHS taking a serious look into the backgrounds of these guys is also the same reason that the TSA allowed Faisal Shahzad to board the plane. It all comes down to political correctness. All these government officials are too afraid to make the call into checking into the bakground or pulling someone from a flight that is of the Muslim faith for fear that if they are wrong they will be thrown under the bus.
And why wouldn’t they feel this way. You have Mayor Bloomberg saying that any mistreatment of Pakistanis will not go unpunished all the way to the AG Eric Holder saying this after Obama’s Cairo speech:
With statements like that how could they not fear loosing their job or prosecution if they stop a Muslim from getting on a plane only to find out latter that the person was not a threat.

Extremely good points but, the Government we have is reactive not proactive. Not to mention the worst blame gamers ever imagined in Washington. You have Sock Puppet making apologies an administration that let the oil spill go wildly out of control and then you have Janet Incompetano -
This reminds me of a good friend I have had for many years. Back in the early ’90s he was dating through a club and met a “nice” Peruvian lady. They dated for a few months and decided to get married. I was even Best Man. He was very much in love and was very happy. I was proud of him. After the honeymoon, however, she gave him papers to sign for immigration to change her status and update her green card. No problem. Once it was turned in and approved, it was “adios amigo”. It was later found out that her green card was no good. She married simply to get her residency again. Needless to say he was crushed and he and I tried to work out someway of keeping the marriage together. It didn’t work. So, I took him to an immigration lawyer I knew casually, over lunch, and told the story. The lawyer listened and explained that he would be arrested for “defrauding the government”, but “I think I can get you off.” If he pursued any charges against her, he would probably find the U.S. marshalls at his door. He would be arrested, booked, and bonded out probably. Then he would have to go to court, hiring lawyers to defend himself. It would involve a lot of embarrassment at work, a lot of money he didn’t have, and would may(?) result in him not having a felony record and her put on a flight to Peru. He decided it wasn’t worth the risk. He divorced her and that was the end of it. She didn’t have any criminal record that anyone knew of and he was free again. Sometimes people can be “suckered in” by someone supposely in love, only to be devastated afterwards. Funny thing, though. I married an Indonesian, but we dated for a few years first, and have been happily married for 4 years. I was very cautious. He has since remarried, but to an American. I wonder how many other people have been suckered into marriage only to find out it was a “sham” and that they are considered part of the “fraud”.
Rumpswab or Rumpschwab = term of endearment, like bootlicker, only higher up.
example: The MSM is a bunch of Obowmao rumpswabs! I think I first heard the term used by Howie Carr (Boston talk radio personality) way back during the Clinton Administration.
Well, just another example of how government screws up everything it touches. You would think The US State Department would be able to manage visa applications. But I guess that is too much to expect from our “brightest and best” at Foggy Bottom…
Okay so he became a U.S. citizen. No problem. My recommended solution for the future:
1) Have Congress issue a formal declaraton of War on Al Quaida, the Taliban, and all nations or groups who support their efforts. (Our stupuid error to have not done this)
2) Charge people like this dirt bag with treason, since he’s officially an American citizen.
3) Upon conviction, put him up against a wall, offer him a blinfold and cigarette and then dispatch him to the great hereafter.
Exactly.
I’d add that if we’re going to spend some money, spend it on FBI personnel charged with investigating these shams.
I agree with this. Not sure that I think making it even harder to get an American citizenship, especially for people who marry American citizens, is the way to go.
Inherent in your recommendations I think lies a big part of the problem. The definitions of treason, enemy combatant, sedition, act of war etc. have become vague in the post 9-11 world.
U.S. CODE > TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 115 > § 2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
Did Shazaaaam “levy war” or attempt an act of terrorism – or are they the same? Why wasn’t McVeigh charged with treason? Was OK City an act of war? Maj Hasan had ties with al qaida, but how do you define being a “member” of such a nebulous organization?
If you read all of chapter 155 (rather short) the language deals with foreign governments and organizations with identifiable organizational structure and chain of command. In other words, with an identifiable target on the map.
Declaring “war” on Al Qaida and Taliban is almost like declaring war on an idealogy. When Bush announced the “war on terror” it would almost seem intentionally vague. I understood it to mean giving the president certain powers to deal with the situation, while not formally declaring war on anyone.
You know more about this stuff than me. Help me out.
I’m no lawyer, but wouldn’t joining a foreign terrorist organization constitute treason? I would view that as participating in warfare against ones own country. They should be hanged forthwith.
Then revoke their citizenship.
It would seem to me that if Faisal Shahzad was a member of the Taliban, a government that we are at war, he could be tried for treason. That, however, is not “pc” and so he’ll probably be tried for an “act of terrorism” and get 10-20.
It all stems from the fact that we are in the hands of our enemies. Obama & crew are the enemy, the media is the enemy. Its sometimes confusing as Obambi,et al appear incompetent, clown like, but they are always the enemy of America, that doesn’t change.
Oops, Sorry Swede, you beat me to the question.
Another question, where is this guys wife and kids? I’m picturing an American Woman living in a shack in Pakistan with her in laws, wearing a burka and being told she can go home any time she wants, but the kids stay in Pakistan to be raised as muslims.

Was seeing red in my post above and missed your comment. We are thinking the same way.
A la Sally Field in Not Without My Daughter (Iran). More people need to see this movie.
The president can never be ‘America’s enemy’ thejim
Any comments like that won’t be helpful. Obama has about 2 more years.
And walterc, you assume that he married a blond haired/blue eyed American Christian. There is a LARGE AND GROWING pakistani-American population in America. He likely married an American of Pakistani origin who was already a Muslim. The marriage was likely arranged by the terrorist organization in Pakistan.
Seriously people, you have to understand what we are dealing with. The are plenty of absolutely gorgeous Pakistani women. They might live in America, but their lives are arranged in Pakistan.
This guy was not some happy go lucky immigrant. He was here for a specific reason. He was sent here deliberately (invasion through immigration). They (muslim jihadists) do it everywhere in the world. It’s not new or unique. I’m sure he’s a fantastically great guy. . . but he’s the enemy.
Would it be racist to think that only Muslims are terrorists? Absolutely! Example; Timothy McVeigh. So, is it not equally racist to believe that Mexicans pouring across our southern border are NOT terrorists? Equal opportunity and all that, you know. So therefore it is imperative we seal our southern borders immediately Mr Obama. Helloooo, anyone listening?
You mean putting the horse in front of the cart? Why, that’s just crazy talk!
Say What? “The President can never be America’s enemy”. Where does that come from? Anybody, Any individual is capable of being the enemy, just as any individual is capable of evil or love or consideration.
wE HAVE TWENTY MILLION LAWS, AND THE ONLY ONES THE GUBMINT WILL ENFORCE ARE REVENUE GENERATING LAWS SUCH AS SPEEDING FINES AND PARKING METER VIOLATIONS. MURDER OF A NONGUBMINT CITIZEN, WE’LL GET ROUND TO IT, CAR THEFT, YOU DON’T HAVE LOJACK OR ONSTAR, SUCKS TO BE YOU. PARK FOR FIVE MINUTES PAST YOUR METER ALLOTMENT, YOU CAN REST ASSURED YOU HAVE A TICKET. OUR GUBMINT IS NOTHING MORE THAN 5 – 10 MILLION REVENUE AGENTS MASQUERADING AS GOVERNMENT WORKERS.
I didn’t assume he married a blond blue eyed Christian, her name didn’t sound Pakistani to me. It sounded more Asian or non-muslim. And you’re right that I shouldn’t make assumptions, but it wouldn’t be the first time American children were held hostage in some muslim country by the in laws.
Where are all the filthy feminist tombs screeching about women marrying men simply because being married makes them feel…whatever it is?
I’m with CJ above.
Doubting this would make us fools. He was on a mission. We are idiots to continue to allow people into our country who will destroy us. The myth of the Trojan horse was a picnic compared to what’s ahead of us if we don’t close our borders and scrutinize the people streaming into our country.
The INS acted stupidly.
Swede, I am not an expert either, but you are IMHO on target.
Once we declare a formal state of war against these groups, what Shazaaaam did was to levy war against the U.S. which makes it clearly an act of treason.
Without a formal declaration things are murky. Seen this my whole life. How many times have we fought since WWII and had how many casualties without a declaration of war?
The approach is INSANE and cowardly on the part of our leaders. It is also a slap in the face to our military.
Guess you won’t be getting any either.
This was to me Patreaus’ genius in Iraq. He saw that trying to fight this battle in a conventional sense would just get his people killed, and ultimately lose the conflict. He redefined strategy, procedures and rules of engagement to meet the challenge before him – and kicked a$$.
Our CinC now can not even figure out who our enemy is – leave alone how to fight them. Having said all the above, I would certainly NOT want the present congress to re-define treason, act of war, enemy combatant etc.
Rogue–I don’t want ‘any’ of what the Society of Women (SOW) have to offer…

The president IS America. If the president is America’s enemy, then there is no America. You really need to understand what the office represents. He can pardon himself, he can’t be indicted (Clinton shouldn’t have been indicted). Every single tax dollar is spent to protect the president.
The president isn’t as powerful as people think. He can’t pass legislation or spend tax dollars (congress does all of that). he can’t even stop legislation he doesn’t like (Arizona). the judicial branch has authority over that.
He can detonate a nuclear bomb in a minute, but that’s about the extent of his power.
and walterc. . . I wasn’t really disagreeing with you. I know it happens all the time in Muslim countries and you were right to point it out. There is a large group of Pakistanis here that they generally arrange marriages from within to control the mission.
swede: Au contraire mon ami, he knows who the enemy is, he just won’t call them the enemy. Rather, he would much rather call the TEA-partiers the enemy.
Off topic but Simon Cowell is a conservative?
Welcome to the Tea Party Simon!
I couldn’t imagine changing my religion to marry someone (though my cousin did become Muslim to marry a girl from the UAE – they had a little boy a few years ago and they don’t let my aunt and uncle see them).
That said, the only way I would change my religion for a woman is I’d become Catholic if it meant Kimberly Guilfoyle would love me forever. I’d still be Christian, but I’d be with a woman who could help me rule the world.
Obowmao has met the enemy, it is us.
He IS the enemy of the people. He leaves no doubt.
It should be done at the same time the jihadists are hanged. These wedded louts ought to be together for all time!
***
And p.s. to all the latter posts: That is why I cannot, in good conscience, refer to Obama other than the WH resident! The office of President is much too respected for the likes of him.
The people elected him. If he does something bad, the people can impeach him. In the interim and meantime calling the guy we all protect ‘the enemy’ doesn’t help when there are real enemies trying to kill us all.
Incompetence and being wrong doesn’t make him the enemy. He believes in strong centralized control (as long as it is Democrat control). I call that socialism or communism. It’s a terrible model for government, but being wrong doesn’t make you an enemy.
Thacker, get a clue. O’bambi is the enemy. The enemy of all that’s right about America. If you don’t quiet understand the difference in the “Office” and its “Occupant” we can’t help you. Just a suggestion: Review Rev wright’s exortations to his flock, and our “Occupant” in the White House.
Haven’t had a chance to read through all comments thoroughly yet, but it seems obvious:
IT’S BUSH’S FAULT. Poor guy.
From what I remember Treason was a possible charge with McVeigh-they certainly has the three witness issue covered. But a murder charge was considered more appropriate and gave him less venue to bring up politics.
Tim McVeigh IS the poster monster to bring back hanging as our capital punishment. As Faisal Shahzad is a US citizen Treason might be the way to HANG him.
As far a women marrying these types-in a country of 300 million you do get some weird types. At our main prison in Florence we have a whole group of really weird women who marry convicts-murderers preferred. I imagine it happens everywhere.
Thacker: That responsibility falls on Congress, not the people.
Even then they fail us (see Clinton, William Jefferson, bad boy and POTUS vs the U.S.)
George Soros comes to mind.
There is also a large and growing Indian population in America. There is no love lost between the two.
I wish I could get excited about anything that Leiberman says or does, but it is all a sham. He votes with the democrats 99% of the time and he knows, just like everybody else, that his national security noises will go nowhere. It’s all a shuck, just his way of keeping the rightwing vote while serving his liberal masters. The man is b*llsh*t and kind of a creep actually. “Cynical manipulation” hardly begins to describe his game. He needs to be called on it, but of course he never will.
nail 49, The House of Representatives (congress) is called ‘the people’s house’ for a reason.
And President Clinton wasn’t a ‘bad boy’ until he was indicted. A sitting president shouldn’t be indicted.
He was impeached for lying under oath. Before he lied under oath, he hadn’t broken a law. Adultery isn’t a crime in America yet.
Again, being wrong doesn’t make people evil or the enemy. Clinton isn’t a bad guy.
He is if words still have meaning. I guess your point is that they don’t. You may well be right.
Michelle, You missed the Egyptian murderer who shot to death 3 people at the El Al teminal at LAX on July 4, 2002. His victims included a beautiful 25 year old woman only a week away from her wedding. The Egyptian guy had been ordered deported many times but refused to leave the US. The 9th circuit court of appeals (Gordon Liu’s next stop) had adopted rules saying that there can be no removal from the US as long as the person has any kind of appeal pending. So the Egyptian guy just kept on appealing. Eventually, the Egyptian guy’s wife (not even him!) won the immigration lottery (this was the Ted Kennedy law that said there were two many white Europeans coming to the US so to even things out, we will have a “Lottery” from mostly Muslim countries and whoever wins gets to come to the US and stay forever (with his or her entire family). So the Egyptian guy was now free to stay in American for the rest of his life, even though the INS knew he was a radical and a troublemaker. So free from any restraints, he became a Muslim terrorist and walked into a gunshop and bought himself some guns and went to LAX on July 4, 2002 and murdered 3 people in cold blood. The gunshop owner could not refuse to sell him the gun because if he did, he would be sued for violation of civil rights, just as United Airlines got hit with after tossing suspicious and misbehaving Islamic men off the airplane. This is all Ted Kennedy’ s lasting legacy.
Thacker: He was also impeached for abusing the power of his office.
Do you actually believe Billy boy gets a pass because he was the POTUS?
As for being a bad boy, I stand corrected, he is a bad man who acts like a boy.
Do you have any idea about just how many jihadis/sympathizers work in DHS and State deliberately doing their best to rubber stamp as many immigrants as they can from islamic countries – little or no questions asked or backgrouds followed up on?
They want the USA as a caliphite and are working toward that goal, aided and abbeted by our homegrown progressives who are ashamed to still have too many of white european judeo-christian heritage here.
This guy came over here somewhere in the neighborhood of the 9/11 killers. He has just waited for the right time. I have no doubt this has been planned for a long time.And I also have no doubt that there are many others out there just biding their time, and with this bunch of dodos’ Washington, they won’t have to “bide” much longer!
You forget that the Clinton Administration wanted this to go away. Beneath the surface there was a Muslim connection. Any proper investigation was squelched just like TWA 800.
If Clinton had not lied under oath, he wouldn’t have been impeached. he shouldn’t have been under oath and he wouldn’t have lied under oath.
He was impeached specifically for his deposition in the Paula Jones case. He lied. That’s the crime he committed. He shouldn’t have lied. He didn’t break a law until he did lie.
Bill Clinton was immensely better than Obama will ever be.
You can bet this guy isn’t the only one out there planning an attack somewhere. One blast and maybe the American people will be finally fed up with the “feel good kumbaya singers” in our government.
Everybody’s studies of Islamic suicide murderers shows that they tend to be middle to upper middle class, not the poor and downtrodden.
From the LA Times:
No of course not. It wouldn’t fit your narrative.
Okay, got it. Having a draft dodger who hates the military in the White House is better than having a Marxist.
Boy I feel better already.
What? Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee? Another BS Kangaroo Committee! Exactly what has this so-called legislative committee done? Americans are fast reaching their limit where security is concerned. And, these bimbo women who marry these guys only make the situation worse. IMO, we’re in serious trouble with security and immigration.
Much like the Tea Party. These are dangerous people I tell ya.

This is only a problem to Nationalists. This is another example of what the CFR controled government wants. More moon god worshipers, and illegal aliens.
How does one destroy the last nation state?
From our local news (Virginia):
Seventeen people — including a woman from Williamsburg and another person from Virginia Beach — are accused of participating in a scheme that paired Navy personnel with Russian women for bogus marriages.
U.S. Attorney Neil H. MacBride announced the charges Wednesday after a 28-count federal indictment was unsealed in federal court in Norfolk. MacBride says all the defendants have been arrested.
The charges include conspiracy, marriage fraud, false claims, theft of government property, false statements related to naturalization or citizenship, and naturalization fraud.
The solution to the problem is a moratorium on any immigration from Muslim countries, period.
It is insanity to allow people into your country that want to destroy your country based on Islam.
Why we should worry
If he didn’t mind the age difference, he could have married Jihad Jane. There are all sorts of mindless dupes out there. It’s amazing more don’t hook up with Arab or other Middle Eastern types. The exchange student racket furthers this at colleges and universities, and always has. Middle Easterners show a preference for blue-eyed blonds, the more empty-headed the better. Until they start getting beaten into submission (what’s the translation of Islam again? Oh, right )
That’s good, but I would have checked the taxi line at National Airport. He also could be running a gun shop out in Woodbridge.
But… but that would be racist, wouldn’t it?
I find it very interesting.. and somewhat depressing that.. when any middle-easterner commits these violent acts… our media bends over backward to try and assert that “they aren’t all bad, so we shouldn’t treat them that way”… a-la Bloomberg recently…. BUT if, and I mean IF… ONE tea-partier gets out of line the media starts wetting themselves to paint the ENTIRE TEA-PARTY MOVEMENT as bad. ?? !!
WTF?
I’ll say it again… when the crap hits the fan here … and it will … there will be NO PLACE for these Obama-robots in the media to hide. Got that Katie Couric? Hearin’ me loud and clear Olber-dork?
Nowhere to run.
Excellent article Michelle. You, and other conservative commentators are well chronicling the slow death of the USA.
This guy got his American citizenship and within months was in a terror training camp on his 13th trip to Pakistan. Clearly he sought American citizenship as a strategic tool and the propaganda efforts by the MainStreamMedia to excuse this calculated sleeper agent as a “domestic” terrorist insults us all.
Rush just gave you props on this story, Michelle. He also added a correction about the year he was married.
And just think how much easier it would be for them to play this game once same-sex “marriage” becomes the law of the land.
