Suspected terrorist father warned US 4 weeks ago– went ignored.

Would it surprise you if I told you that the Obama government was warned about the terrorist charged with trying to destroy a jetliner four weeks ago.  In fact, the man’s father went to the embassy with concerns about his son and yet the Obama government did absolutely nothing.  They even determined that there wasn’t sufficient evidence to place him on the “no-fly list”.  Uh what?!!!

After 9-11 one would expect that our government would take every precaution necessary to keep the American people safe, but apparently a father’s warnings of his radical Muslim son’s behavior was not enough for Obama and Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano.  Perhaps the duo were too busy watching those evil right wing Christian former military guys that the Secretary warned us about earlier this year.  We all know how they have a propensity to engage in terrorist activity.  Did you catch sight of them at those tea parties with their signs of hate demanding less government?

Here what the Associated Press is reporting:

U.S. government officials tell The Associated Press that the Nigerian man charged with trying to destroy a jetliner came to the attention of U.S. intelligence in November when his father went to the U.S. embassy in Abuja, Nigeria, to express his concerns about his son.

A congressional official said Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, a 23-year-old Nigerian, popped up in U.S. intelligence reports about four weeks ago as having a connection to both al-Qaida and Yemen.

Another government official said Abdulmutallab’s father went to the embassy in Abuja with his concerns, but did not have any specific information that would put him on the “no-fly list” or on the list for additional security checks at the airport.
