"They"
“Around the world and here at home there are those who would attack our citizens and who would slaughter innocent men, women and children in pursuit of their murderous agenda … They will stop at nothing to kill and disrupt our way of life.”.... Given this language an historian from the future, seeking to reconstruct the great upheavals of the 21st century might reasonably conclude that the evil "they" the President refers to are the heartless managers who foreclosed the mortgage on this ordinary American, and that somehow this Faisal Shahzad was driven to an irrational deed by an intense pang of loneliness or perhaps alienation. A minority interpretation among future historians would probably argue that "they" refers to some other entity because the whole narrative is written in code. But the proposition that newspapers were written in code is so preposterous that only a few crackbrains will believe it. The entire saga of the catastrophe of the early 21st century will probably remain an unsolved mystery to those who pick over the ruins of a mysteriously vanished civilization. -- Belmont Club » The Newspaper of the Mysteries

Your Say
Why, OH, why could it not have been two ladies from the Big Hope Methodist Fellowship Meals-on-Wheels in a minivan, loaded with Pyrex casserole dishes.
After capture the MSM gleefully could have announced that the Tea-Bagging Methodists were caught transporting a variety of synergistic gas producing bean meals to a conclave of like minded conspirators.

I know, VW, that after many a meal made by those evil methodismics that I have wanted to explode. I blame the cabbage rolls and baked beans, and whatever they put in the punch bowl.

"“Around the world and here at home there are those who would attack our citizens and who would slaughter innocent men, women and children in pursuit of their murderous agenda … and if I had the balls to keep my campaign promises I could stop deploying them and send them all back to Texas where they belong."
FIFY. I hate it when Barry doesn't finish his sentences.
