Manhunt.  

Spoke Simon Constable, Thaddeus McCotter, Larry Johnson, John Fund, John Avlon, Steve Schippert, Fred Burton, Stratfor, Ed Hayes, Aaron Klein, re the Nissan VBIED and gained a foggy picture of a success for the bomber team. The vehicle was correctly prepared. Is it part of the attack that it was likely followed onto the island by surveillence cameras? The bomb did not ignite. Fred Burton says that it is difficult to build an IED from store-bought parts, and that he and the FBI used to practice constructing such bombs on the FBI firing range. The manhunt dominates the reporting, the nation participating in a thrilling assembly of clues, hints, images, events.  NYPD releases a brief video of a man pulling off an overblouse in the Schubert Alley down the street from where the VBIED was parked, and the NYPD says this man is a "person of interest."   My information is that the VBIED was similar to the attacks in London and Glasgow in 2007 by domestic UK citizens who had been radicalized by the internet links to the jihadists.  The motive with the Times Square VBIED may be to radicalize the American Moslem population. The more exercised and paranoid the Moslems in America become, the less likely there will be snitching on larger operations than one VBIED at the Lion King.  Even the pursuit of the bombers stirs the pot.  The cameras are just starting to produce the cold trail of the Nissan VBIED (below Times Square Saturday May 1).  The possibility that the VBIED was aimed at the Viacom (Comedy Central and South Park) headquarters cannot be ruled out.

Wonder why this wasn't scheduled for a workday? Much more bang for the buck in terms of casualties and publicity if the op had occurred during a weekday.

We've reached the point of where the bombs don't even have to work. I just finished watching the movie, "TRAITOR"; USA ('08). Some days ago, I saw a movie called "For My Father" Israeli (’08). There are circumstances under which bombs might not even be meant to go off and do damage. In fact, we may soon reach a point where they can make cardboard models of explosive devices and deposit these in plain sight in clunker SUV's and achieve the same effect. Wasn't recently a commercial flight diverted and jet fighters scrambled simply because someone had scribbled 'BOMB' on a bathroom mirror with soap? They've got us all chasing our tails to keep us from seeing what else is going on.

I've recently gone back and re-read my blogs from before Obama was installed president. All my predictions, I’m sad to say, are coming true.
