Does anyone feel that the Times Square Bomber thing is too perfect?

He messes up because he forgot his keys in the car?
Gets caught at exactly the right moment?
Is cooperating with authorities and gave up his right to trial by judge?

I dunno, I think this was just a practice run, and something way bigger will happen.

Am I the only one thinking this?

"I've been expecting you?"

Seriously, who says that? You'd think this guy was Peter Griffin.

Holy shit you're right. What if he's trying to get arrested so he can get some other guy that's currently locked up? Maybe he sewed a cell phone or something into some other inmate's stomach and when the bomber gets his one phone call, he calls that number and shit blows up.

And then, after stuff blows up, someone else tries to call the guy with the cell phone in his stomach, and he's all like:

stop calling
stop calling
i don't wanna talk anymore
stop calling
stop calling
i dont need to hear it
stop calling
stop calling
i dont wanna talk anymore
can somebody please
throw away this telephone

lol yeah. Also, how is it that NO ONE on the jet that he was on saw a law enforcement person on the plane taking him out? The people from the jet they interviewed said they didn't see anyone leave or enter the plane..? WTF?

It's bizarre on many levels. Every picture I see of the guy he has some kind of goofy expression on his face. He hates the U.S. so much that he tries to blow up times square, but then immediately waives his right to, well, pretty much everything and helps the Federal Government. I don't think there are any shenanigans going on, but yeah, it's weird.

Terrorists as a general rule are pretty insane. And it wasn't exactly a useful trial run.

I was thinking that he was taking the blame for someone else. It just doesn't add up unless he truly is a mental retard.

So what you're saying is that this is staged by the US Government in order to case suspicion on Pakistan/Middle East and they are faking information from him as a pretense for a large-scale attack on Middle Eastern interests? The US Government would NEVER do such a thing... for we have Democrats in power right now...

(Ironically, Middle Eastern diplomats have already suggested this was the case.)

I think it is odd that this guy claims to have trained in Pakistan on how to build explosive devices and every thing he did about the actual bomb was wrong.

M88's as a detonation device. - too weak to do anything
Alarm clock as a timer that wasn't wired properly.
200 lbs of fertilizer , but the wrong kind of fertilizer and it wasn't mixed with anything - garden fertilizer isn't going to do anything with a match put to it.
Propane tanks whose valves were never opened - these are designed to require a very high external explosion to set them off
Gasoline in containers - will burn but not blow up

Why do a trial run just to raise the alert of the authorities?

You see, the terrorists hate our freedom, and merely the threat of a bombing run will increase security restrictions, thus impacting our freedom. The time loss from the extra inconvenience on security checkpoints at bridges and planes will be immeasurable!

Yeah...Dems created this whole thing just so Americans will feel even more unsafe and to make the President look weak on terror suspects by allowing him is Miranda Rights. Cuz you know, Dems want to hurt Obama's credibilty as much as possible.

Yeah...that makes sense. :rolleyes:

I almost thought the whole thing was a publicity stunt for the Show "24"

With the last second arrest, it totally plays out like a 24 episode. Maybe they are doing a NY Spinoff?

It is kind of entertaining. I like how the Taliban are denying he ever trained with them -- even they don't want to be represented by a "n00b." I think their reputation is hurting lol.
