Sympathy for the devil

Washington Post takes the time and the column inches to drum up sympathy for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab. They pour through 300 internet messages that federal authorities believe to be from Abdulmutallab;

“I have no one to speak too [sic],” read a posting from January 2005, when Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was attending boarding school. “No one to consult, no one to support me and I feel depressed and lonely. I do not know what to do. And then I think this loneliness leads me to other problems.”

Boo-fricken-hoo for the incompetent boob. The Post uncatalogued his education and privilege;

Farouk1986 wrote about considering applications to U.S. and British universities, including University College London, where officials said Abdulmutallab enrolled in a mechanical engineering course from September 2005 to June 2008. He also wrote about his family’s wealth; Abdulmutallab’s father, Alhaji Umaru Mutallab, a frequent visitor to the United States, retired this year as chairman of First Bank of Nigeria and still sits on the boards of several prominent Nigerian firms.

Yet with all of that education, opportunity and a month spent training in Yemen, the retard couldn’t blow his own balls off. At this point, I don’t think we need to waste time trying to mitigate his actions for him. It’s pretty clear that he’s guilty since he’s wearing the scars of his failures. I’m against the death penalty, but this doofus tests my convictions.

The Washington Times reports that an al Qaeda group in Yemen took credit for the attack;

Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, a group that claims loyalty to Osama bin Laden, said in posts left on jihadist Web forums that the plot against Northwest Airlines Flight 253 was launched in response to recent “American aggression” in Yemen, which has been the site of recent U.S. predator drone attacks.

Yeah, well, the drone attacks were in response to countless acts of Muslim agression, dimbulb.

The group boasted that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab managed to avoid detection by screening machines when he boarded a plane in Amsterdam bound for Detroit with “a technologically advanced [explosive] device” hidden in his underpants.

The device was so “technologically advanced” that it couldn’t be detonated by the panty bomber after a month’s training.

The Yemeni group claims the attempt was in response to drones, but I’m guessing their Iranian masters timed the event to give cover to their own crackdown in Tehran. Afterall, the guy had been training for a month before the drones attacked terrorist compounds.
