Jihadi terror plot at JFK thwarted

The planning, which began last summer, involved four men, and targeted fuel tanks and pipelines at the airport, law enforcement sources said.

An official described the suspects as "al Qaeda wannabes."

One suspect, a U.S. citizen who is a native of Guyana and who once worked at the airport, was described by a source as "a very angry Muslim extremist."

So, why is it that every time the FBI or law enforcement foils one of these plots, the terrorists are referred to as "wannabes" or stumbling amateurs??!! It's almost like officials and MSM WANT one of these plans to succceed.

I'm afraid that people are just getting numbed by all of these planned attacks and these muted reports of the captures - this is going to be a long summer and I'm afraid that one of these plans is going to go undetected - and at that time, the MSM will glorify the prowess of those bombers/attackers.
