Feds Nab White, Middle-Aged, Teabagging Healthcare Hater in Times Square Bomb Plot

That, of course, would be the headline if the hopes and dreams of the lamestream media and Michael Bloomberg came to fruition. But as anyone with the slightest clue realized the plotter in all likelihood was a Muslim terrorist. Not that Janet "One-Off" Napolitano would ever figure that out.

A Connecticut man who recently spent several months in his native Pakistan was arrested at Kennedy Airport early this morning in connection with the attempted Times Square car bombing, law-enforcement sources told The Post.

Faisal Shahzad, 30, was trying to flee the United States and was headed for Dubai when he was apprehended by federal customs agents, the sources said.

Shahzad last week purchased the 1993 Nissan Pathfinder used in the would-be attack, the sources said, noting that an e-mail sent from his account had been used to contact the seller.

Meanwhile, FBI agents searched the home at a known address for Shahzad in Bridgeport, Conn., early today, said agent Kimberly Mertz, who wouldn't answer questions about the search.

Authorities removed filled plastic bags from the house overnight in a mixed-race, working-class neighborhood of multi-family homes in Connecticut's largest city. A bomb squad came and went without entering as local police and FBI agents gathered in the cordoned-off street.

Authorities believe Shahzad drove the dark-green SUV -- loaded with propane, fireworks, gasoline, non-explosive fertilizer and a timing device -- to West 45th Street near Broadway Saturday night and tried to detonate it.

He had recently returned from five months in Pakistan, where his wife lives, The Associated Press reported.

Shahzad, a naturalized US citizen, had not been seen at his home or at his job since the Times Square incident.

Federal charges of conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction were pending.

Shahzad is believed to be only one of several people involved in the plot, and authorities are trying to determine if he has ties to foreign groups -- possibly including al Qaeda.

"This investigation is ongoing. It is multifaceted and it is aggressive," US Attorney General Eric Holder said after the arrest. "It's clear that the intent behind this terrorist attack man-caused disaster was to kill Americans."

I realize Napolitano was appointed solely on the basis of her gender, but it's obviously time for Barack Obama to fire her. For her to go on national television Sunday with that idiotic "one-off" comment renders her utterly useless as Director of Homeland Security. She's not the only one who looks like an idiot.

On Sunday morning, less than 15 hours after a car bomb had been found in a sport utility vehicle in Times Square, the homeland security secretary, Janet Napolitano, appeared on the NBC News program “Meet the Press” and said, “You know, at this point I have no information that it’s anything other than a one-off.”

Ms. Napolitano said almost the same thing on the ABC News program “This Week.”

A couple of hours later, Senator Charles E. Schumer, Democrat of New York, stood in front of a CNN camera in Times Square and said, “The odds are quite high that this was a lone wolf.”

Meanwhile, the biggest concern for the folks out in San Francisco, clearly upset a Pakistani was arrested, is other by the same name as the terror suspect are feeling the Facebook shame.

In the "Well, that was fast" department we have the arrest of alleged Times Square car bomb suspect Shahzad Faisal, who's causing a lot of problems for all of the guys nameed "Shahzad Faisal" on Facebook and his 115 friends.

When one Googles "Shahzad Faisal," there's one Facebook profile page that pops up, but if you search for the name a lot of Shahzad Faisal's come up. You've got to feel story [sic] for all of the other Shahzad's out there who have the burden of saying "It's not me."
