Libertarian Republican h/t. Eric Dondero points out a few important things that I would agree is a HUGE problem:
Another Muslim terrorist attempt on a major US City took place just days before Thanksgiving.
From the AP story (via Fox News) “Somali-Born Christmas Car Bomber Stopped in Oregon”:
The Somali-born teenager who was arrested in a sting operation while trying to blow up a van he believed was loaded with explosives at a crowded Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Portland, Ore., e-mailed an alleged terrorist last year, authorities said…
the sting operation began in June after an undercover agent learned that 19-year-old Mohamed Osman Mohamud had been in regular e-mail contact with an “unindicted associate” in Pakistan’s northwest, a frontier region where Al Qaeda and Afghanistan’s Taliban insurgents are strong.
An FBI document reveals that Mohamud had contact with the suspected terrorist in Aug. 2009. In Dec. 2009, Mohamud discussed the possibility of traveling to Pakistan to engage in violent jihad.
Mohamud wanted “maximum carnage,” kill plenty of children

Portland – Headquarters for Nation’s AntiWar Movement
Now it is being revealed that the City of Portland was not even aware of the bombing plot until after the Muslim terrorist was arrested.
From OregonLive.com:
Five years ago, Portland became the first city in the nation to withdraw from the FBI-led task force.
Adams did not know about the plot to detonate a bomb at the tree lighting at Pioneer Courthouse Square until after Mohamed Osman Mohamud’s arrest Friday night.
Adams, who serves as police commissioner, said he wasn’t aware of the case until 9:15 p.m. Friday when he was called to Portland’s FBI headquarters for a briefing. The mayor said he would have been notified if the bomb threat had been real.
In April 2005, the City Council… voted 4-1 to withdraw its two police officers from the federal task force.
A Sanctuary City for all Illegal Aliens
Libertarian/conservative columnist Michelle Malkin (via LA Times) pointed out at the time in, “Portland vs. America”:
If the Bush administration had guts, it would withdraw all federal homeland security funds from the city immediately. After 9/11, the city refused to cooperate with federal efforts to conduct voluntary interviews of of local Muslims in order to uncover terrorist plots. Portland is also a sanctuary city for illegal aliens. This despite several signs that al Qaeda and pro-Islamists have infiltrated the area.
