Michael Bloomberg is wrong again

Is it just me, or does Michael Bloomberg seem pretty quick to dismiss the idea of a foreign terrorist? Not only that, but he seems intent on pinning it on a conservative who might not like the recent health care bill. Not surprisingly, it looks like Mayor Bloomberg was 100% wrong.

Authorities have arrested 30 year old Faisal Shahzad who was trying to escape on a flight to Dubai. Shahzad came to the United States form Pakistan in 1999 and became a U.S. citizen in 2009. It seems that many officials, like Michael Bloomberg, are reluctant to admit that this terrorist act might have originated from a foreign country, even though there is some supporting evidence.

For one thing, Faisal Shahzad admits to creating the bomb, traveled to Pakistan for 5 months to receive training, and several people from Pakistan who know Shahzad have been arrested. Maybe it’s me, but that looks suspicious. Plus, we also have proof that Hakimullah Mehsud, the leader of Pakistan Taliban, who was thought to be killed, is actually alive and making threats. The timing of the video of Mehsud and Shahzad’s attempted bombing could be a coincidence, but it deserves a close look.

It seems like many liberals were almost hoping that a conservative, anti-Obama American was responsible for the attack. After all, if they were right, it would just be more evidence of how crazy and irrational conservatives can be. All Shazad’s arrest does for me is to make me question our immigration policy even more.
