In not a shocking move, Al-Qaeda has claimed responsibility for the latest attempt of Imperial aggression. The faction of this Radical Organization doing this is Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula which is based in Yemen. Major Hassan via his contacts with Anwar Awlaki was affiliated with this organization. It is obvious Yemen is now the center of Al-Qaeda’s operations.
Al-Qaeda claimed the failed December 25 bombing of a US-bound aircraft in a statement picked up by US monitors Monday as the jihadists threatened attacks on Western targets and Yemen vowed no let-up in its campaign against them.
Al-Qaeda’s Arabian peninsula franchise acknowledged in the posting on the Internet that a “technical fault” had caused the failure of the plot against Friday’s Northwest Airlines flight from Amsterdam to Detroit, SITE Intelligence said.
Read the rest.
It was obvious from beginiing this was a Jihadi plot, however one man alone didn’t believe it. Former Jazz Artist and Radical Maoist supporting blogger Charles “Icarus” Johnson on Saturday claimed he doubted Al-Qaeda was involved.

The more I read about this incident, the less I believe that it was really an Al Qaeda attack. It seems too poorly planned. And this wasn’t even a bomb — it was an incendiary device, which would have much less chance of actually destroying the plane.
I think this guy is BSing when he says he was sent by Al Qaeda.
As the fact have poured in and now Al-Qaeda taking claim, Icarus has been proven wrong again. He has not retracted his statement, instead he is now defending Janet Napolitano claims that the system worked. One problem, today she went on TV and admitted the system didn’t work.
From her own words, the system failed. Well Charles “Icarus” Johnson, your propaganda fails yet again. Just give it Icarus, your wings have melted yet again! Just do us all a favor, go back to playing Jazz Guitars!
Update: Here’s Hugo Chavez singing about a Turkey

Because CJ so wants to be accepted by the left he is an overblown apologist and advocate for them. That makes them uncomfortable. Too much too soon. LOL
He has lost all ability for reasonable and logical thought. He keeps on with the spinning and rewriting facts just to be allowed into the club of lefties. The problem is they think he is crazy. How could anyone trust the turn coat at this point. What will he do next.

Charles’s trouble is that he doesn’t really have any loyalties or ideals. He doesn’t believe in anything. And I say this as someone who once felt like that. I can recognize a fellow traveller who has no allegiance or loyalties. The fact that I missed it in my years of reading and commenting at 1.0 irks me but I figure it was due to CJs infrequent comments which deceived me of his true intentions and/or inner thoughts.
As far as not doing much damage, I saw a controlled explosion of what was supposed to have happened (and didn’t). It also pointed out that the terrorist was sitting in a seat located directly above one of the fuel tanks. Obviously, just the spot if you are going to start a fire.
I also read something earlier that caused me to go “Hmmm….”
They were sitting about 20 rows behind Abdulmutallab, in a center aisle with her husband and daughter a row ahead of her and their two new adopted children, a six-year-old girl and an eight-year-old boy.
Her daughter said that ahead of them was a man who videotaped the entire flight, including the attempted detonation.
“He sat up and videotaped the entire thing, very calmly,” said Patricia. “We do know that the FBI is looking for him intensely. Since then, we’ve heard nothing about it.”

But Mann’s hockey stick wouldn’t be a hockey stick if it were included so Mann erased a 300 year period of history. His “peers” smiled, nodded, winked and signed on the dotted line.

I couldn’t stand it anymore so I signed up with AdBlock Plus.
The people who run ads like this have GOT to understand at some point that they’re damaging the entire internet ad business by putting up ads that can make people nauseous.

Despite the fact Mr. Johnson’s politics were always left of center, he was always able to see the obvious when it came to the GWOT. He knew who the enemy was and made his name on being ahead of the curve on pointing it out to those who were less sure about the facts of radical Islam.
The last two major terrorist attacks against our country, the Ft. Hood attack and the failed Christmas day bombing, were dismissed by Mr. Johnson as something other than jihad against America.
It’s scary how blind this guy has become.

Most of them do not believe, simply cannot believe, the AGW shills are really doing this. The one or two that have grasped what is going on are horrified. They were good liberals. They believed the AGW doctrine. But in baby-boomer speak, this has blown their minds.
@ Simple Voice:
What was CJ’s theory about the failed Christmas day bombing?
Oh, I just read a quote from CJ about the failed Christmas day bomb.
Snork, Wolfie, Nilla, ANYONE,
Is there nobody who responds to those awful Peter Sinclair Crocks as they appear? Either in writing or by video? Surely the skeptics are able to answer the sophomoric propaganda?
@ wolfie:
Strictly speaking, the party line (and CJ is prolly too dumb to realize this) is that it happened, but only in Europe. Kinda creative, no?
@ snork:
Yet there is evidence that it happened in the Southern Hemisphere too. There is a site that keeps a “Medieval Warm Period Record of the Week”.
@ Overlook:
I haven’t been paying attention to this Peter Sinclair character. He’s not one of the major players in the game. If you’ve noticed, Teh Johnson tends to hook into these obscure “experts”, especially when they’re spinning conspiracy theories about other obscure characters and organizations. I don’t know who half the loons that he highlights there are, or half the shadowy organizations that he is getting his dick in a knot over.
@ Overlook:
Snork could probably tell us if there are efforts directed specifically at Sinclair’s stuff. Even if he can be dismissed as a lightweight, there should be a direct counter to his propaganda.
@ snork:
Peter Sinclair gets very good press and is widely viewed. I cannot understand why someone like Watts (who had a public dust-up with Sinclair) does not regularly supply ripostes to his videos.
It reminds me of the Israelis, who never bothered to respond to the calumnies against them.
AGW is more than anything, a propaganda war.
@ wolfie:
Yes. Every time. For every Crock of the Week, there should be a Broken Crock of the Week retort.
Interesting. To reinforce what I just said, I googled “Peter Sinclair”. Wikipedia lists six people by that name, none of them the producer of these youtubes. If you don’t even have a wiki page, youre not exactly a somebody.
The youtube channel blurb says “An award winning graphic artist, illustrator, and animator, …”.
Do I need to say it?
@ snork:
@ Overlook:
Creative indeed! But as Overlook says, there’s apparently evidence for a corresponding warm period in the southern hemisphere.
I don’t have any special knowledge in the field, but I do know that the MWP crops up in books I’ve read on South American history.
In any case, how do they propose to explain a MWP magically confined to northern Europe & N America?
@ snork:
Peter Sinclair may not be a scientist, but he is very proficient at spreading it about that skeptics are stupid liars.
The fact that the Wally finds them persuasive and uses his blog to spread the message is irritating me past endurance.
@ Overlook:
Aside from 1.0, where do you come across his stuff? I’ve never looked at one. My impression from looking at his youtube page is that he’s preaching to the choir. The titles are over the top. Most people with any sense will head for the hills after looking at the over-the-top titles.

I got this from a comment at Atlas Shrugs.
“Funny that when Hotair posted a youtube video showing the power of these devices, he accused them of instructing their right wing lunatic readers about BOMB making. The video showed how an amount equal to the tip of a match can cause a watermelon to vaporize.
Charles accused Malkin and Breitbart of teaching bomb making.
Now he says it wasn’t a bomb.
So let me get this. CJ is an Al Queda expert.
Without even looking at the new evidence here s what we got:
A man from country A (Nigeria) with ties to country B (Yemen where his mother is from) living in country C (UK) boards a plane in country D (NL) to bomb that plane over country E(USA).
But this wasn’t a planned attack?
Then we have the investigation in the UK showing him tied to the East London mosque and the Yemeni Imam.
CJ is now so immersed in his defense of Islam and the Left that even Neapolitano gets his defense.
http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/35463_Outrageous_Outrage_of_the_Day-_Napolitano_Says_The_System_Worked
The only news he is aware of is what is posted on other sites, which he then dissects, critiques, distorts, mocks and posts under his own scornful ignorant mind.
“Today Hotair posted this”
Today SPencer said that
Today Geller did this
And what about LGF?
He spends days monitoring Hotair and Atlas to find nasty posts which he then makes his news of the day.
He is worse than Huffpost or KOS as at least they report the news and do not waste time stalking other sites.
CJ doesn’t follow the news anymore.
He is just obsessing on who dared criticize Gore and his global warming scam, who dared say G^d created the world and who was against gay marriage.
If you say Global warming is not man made, he calls u a denier and posts some article about some melted glacier. As if that was the argument. It wasn’t. It was about what caused it to melt not whether it melted or not.
Then he parades the Canadian Green Party who supports Hezbollah and who s members praised 911 and blamed Jews.
Then he posts that the Green leader denied supporting Hezbollah and “subject closed”.
He has lost it.
He is like an obsessed stalker stalking Pamela and Michelle and even Sarah Palin with equal fervor than Andrew Sullivan.
He defends Maoists and 911 troothers. He posts articles attacking Rifqa Bary written by a child molester.
He has gone mad and is so high on his narcissism that he no longer sees his own madness.
He is now part of the radical left except that they actually have decently designed websites and discuss the news from their point of view. He is just a stalker now. No more no less. A pathetic baffoon in need of meds.

@ Simple Voice:
Yes that comment just about sums it all up.
“Funny that when Hotair posted a youtube video showing the power of these devices, he accused them of instructing their right wing lunatic readers about BOMB making.”
Having seen the video in question,there is no mention at any time of which chemicals to use in the process,therefore the video does not indicate how the bomb is made.
Whereas johnson has actually posted useful real time information for islamists.It was to with video transfers,islamists did something in a certain way and that was how they got caught,put on trial and convicted before they could kill anyone.
Thanks to johnson any islamists reading the post he made, now know how to get around it and not to make the same mistake again.

Also what Irish Rose did to this blog -getting it shut down for an hour showed fascist tendencies which he approved of.
@ Speranza:
When CJ went left he went all in, to the left of kos.
His problem is that he has no critical thinking skills or just refuses to actually sift through data.
His reactions are knee jerk with a generous portion of nuttiness.
Mornin’ ya’all
The only tech that will make airlines safe is over 200 years old, handguns for passengers, works every time.
Oh, and since we have a NIC for a constitutionally protected activity, “to keep and bear arms” how ’bout a NIC for flying.

He obviously approved of what Kilgored did. CJ sees himself as a Che type leader in a cyber war.
He spends his days slopping down Cheetos, surfing the web trying to find “Outrages & Nontroversies” & taking thoroughy crappy photos.
To relax, by his own admission he plays video games.
@ Speranza:
Or the gruesome trials of Saddam Hussein. Ever watch the one where they are all sitting around a hall, listening to his screeds, sweating and weeping with relief when they were not called out?

The only thing he has not done yet is throw Isral under his bus (because everyone has been predicting he will). You are right though – it seems as if he is doing all he can to win Moulitsis’s approval.

He’ll never get it. Kos may be a jerkwad, but he’s a consistent and blogosphere savvy jerkwad – he has absolutely no use for Chaz, his posters, or his blog. I can’t figure out if Chaz thought if he pulled a 180 he’d be the “new big guy on the block” or not, but he’s being roundly ignored by the lefty blogosphere or openly mocked. Meanwhile, all the sites that WERE sending traffic to him – Powerline, Pajamas Media, Hot Air, Atlas, et al., have completely delinked him. Unless you already know LGF existed, you’d never be able to find it.
Which is just fucking FINE with me.
I noticed that der blog fuhrer had no problem believing it was an Al Qaeda plot once he could blame Bush.
I dropped into the blog-which-shall-not-be-named and saw a very nasty exchange between Sharmuta and Iceweasel–uh oh–trouble in paradise.
heh!
