Beware of Islamic jihadists shipping cargo. And especially on the weekend before midterm elections.

A friend writes:

What do you think? Isn’t this new terror attack just a bit too convenient for comfort?

So, the Americans were alerted by Obama’s friends in Saudi Arabia. The packages were sent to Jews in Chicago – in the certain knowledge that Obama’s popularity among Jews has been in steep decline. Need I continue?

It worked in Spain.

In other words, was this a foiled jihadist attack, or a successful Islamic influence operation?

Think of it: Right before Election Day, we witness the rise of Obama-the-Protector (of Jews, the “homeland,” his own hometown, synagogues, the friendly skies, all good connotations), evidence that Obama’s “anti-extremist” security systems work, and, it may and will be argued, whose “outreach” to the Islamic world works as well. “We are grateful to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for their assistance…” announced dhimmi-unctuous Obama terrorism adviser John Brennan in noting the Saudi tip-off, phew, just in the nick of time.

But did the Saudis assist in interupting a plot, or did they assist in staging, or, more likely, simply free-lance a propaganda coup?

My friend further notes:

I also understand that O is on his way yet another reach-out to Muslims. He will undoubtedly mention this excellent good turn as an example of Islam as the religion of peace and love.

Watch for it.
