According to a law enforcement source, the first failure came on Nov. 19, 2009, the very same day Abdulmutallab father’s, Dr. Umaru Mutallab, a prominent banking official in Nigeria, expressed deep concern to officials at the U.S. Embassy in Abjua, Nigeria, that his 23-year-old son had fallen under the influence of "religious extremists" in Yemen.
The second failure to flag an active visa belonging to Abdulmuttalab occurred the very next day in Washington, after Mutallab's concerns were forwarded to officials there. It was only after the Christmas Day terror attack in Detroit that U.S. officials learned that Abdulmuttalab had been issued a visa by the U.S. Embassy in London valid from June 16, 2008, through June 12, 2010.
Now some leftards have tried to blame the Bush Administration for the original issuance of the visa in 2008. However, the reports that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab had become involved with religious extremism were not made until November of 2009, nearly a year and a half after the visa was issued. The Crotch-Bomber should have been caught by two different checks, but was not.
Hillary Clinton, as head of the State Department, ought to be fired over this failure -- as should the incompetent Janet Napolitano over at TSA, whose performance since the attack has been nothing short of mind-bogglingly inept.
Fire Hillary!
The Obama/Clinton State Department TWICE missed the Crotch-Bomber's active visa after he was reported to US officials by his father.
