Syrian Assassination Plot On Obama Foiled

In Prague, Mr Obama pledged that the US would lead the quest for a world free of nuclear weapons. (Reuters: Petr Josek)The naiveté of this administration will be our undoing. Remember Secretary of State Hillary “smart policy” Clinton wanting to mend fences with some of our longtime adversaries… like Syria?

The Saudi Arabian newspaper al-Watan reported today that Turkish security services have arrested a man of Syrian origins Friday in connection with a plot to assassinate President Barack Obama during his current visit to Turkey.

The man, who was carrying an Al-Jazeera TV ID card in the name of M.G., confessed after his arrest that he was planning on stabbing the U.S. president with a knife during the Alliance of Civilizations summit held in Istanbul, adding that he had three other accomplices to help him execute his plan.

Maybe we should rethink that reach out, as it would appear some there have already.

    Obama may be an idiot, but he’s OUR idiot. And nobody should get away with attempting to assassinate the President of the United States no matter who it is.

    That said, I kinda wish he’d gotten close enough to nick him and give Obama something to think about when it comes to Islamic Extremism.

    I thought more about this and remembered that Sheets Byrd is after Pelosi! Here’s the top 5 from Wikopedia:

    1 Vice President and President of the Senate Joe Biden
    2 Speaker of the House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi
    3 President pro tempore of the Senate Robert Byrd
    4 Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton
    5 Secretary of the Treasury Timothy Geithner

    That ought to make you go get a drink!

    Every time I see something like this I think to the line of succession: Plugs Biden and Pelosi. Picking Plugs was the best insurance policy O could have bought.

    he could have just loaded a shoe…………….
    actually considering the source, i’d say this is bs.

    a knife? considering I believe the leader of the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan on 9-10 was killed with a bomb in a camera like this man was carrying (I’m not mistaken), I’m surprised he didn’t try to put a bomb in a camera case. sounds like he was some local anti-american hood, not connected with some organization, thinking “eh, death to america. I’ll stab him”
