Pamela Geller, Big Government: Times Square and Jihad Denial

Over at Big Government, Pamela Geller takes on Times Scare:

Times Square and Jihad Denial

The SUV was filled with propane tanks, fireworks, filled gas cans,
clocks with batteries, and two clocks with batteries, electric wire and
more. A police official said: “It looks as if the perp was
trying to light it up, and was interrupted by the cops, panicked and
took off. It looked like someone tried to detonate it and we got to it
in time. This is a big deal. It has the makings of a real car bomb.” A
police officer who was on the scene said: “I did a lap around
the vehicle. The inside was smoking. I smelled gunpowder and knew it
might blow. I thought it might blow any second.”

Despite all that, the feds said at first that it wasn’t a terrorist
attack. Then what was it?

That line was so absurd in this case that they had to change their
tune, and fast. Now New York Governor Paterson and even DHS Secretary
Janet “Nudnik” Napolitano are saying it was a terrorist attack attempt.
Said Napolitano: “We’re taking this very seriously. We’re treating it as
if it could be a potential terrorist attack.” But everyone was saying
that they had no idea who was behind it. Police are now searching for a
“white man” – a search the mainstream media is playing up big, hoping
that the terrorist will turn out to be a non-Muslim. As if there are no
white Muslims! Tell that to the North Carolina jihadis arrested last
year.

But for Barack Obama and his gang there are no jihadis at all. Granny
at the Tea Party is the real terrorist threat as far as they’re
concerned.

The mainstream media also at first dismissed the gravity of the
failed Times Square bomb as “amateurish.” Many headlines led with this
angle. This, yet again, reflected the nonsensical and lethal “logic” of
our news gatherers. It was ridiculous on its face. Saturday night in
Times Square is teeming with humanity. Thousands of people could have
been hurt, many killed, and now officials are admitting that: New York
police commissioner Ray Kelly said, “If this had detonated, it would
have caused casualties, a significant fireball, and would have ripped
the vehicle in half.”

Bloomberg said there was no evidence that the bomber was affiliated
with any terrorist organizations. How does he know that? Let’s assume
for a moment that this car bomb was Islamic jihad. Whether the
bomber was loosely tied to an organization or was a lone jihadi, what’s
the difference if the motivation was the same? How many soldiers of
Allah (a moniker on Fort Hood’s jihadist Major Nidal Hasan business
card) are playing with bombs in their basements right now, and have
nothing to do with al-Qaeda or the Taliban?

Even worse, their motivation is indirectly sanctioned by the Obama
administration, by its silence and refusal to address (or even speak of)
Islamic jihad. Has Obama apologized for the theater district yet, or
has he written another big fat check to Pakistan or the Palestinian
Authority or some other jihad-supporting entity?

There is much more. Go read it all and let them know what you think.
