Colonel Hunt on the Underwear Bomber
Tue, 26 Jan 2010|
Intending to die in the act of destroying a jetliner, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab instead landed alive in Detroit as a kind of message in a bottle from al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He knew more about its recruiting, training and operations than anyone who is ever likely to fall into our arms babbling like a scared 23-year-old. We will talk with Colonel David Hunt about how the Administration is dealing with this crotch bomber.

Dot com and -- click on the link to. -- sportswear and Coretta Maynor you can get the telephone number -- Or exports were Koran -- open until 7 o'clock but the T shirts are very nice we'll keep you give the -- T shirt would give the kernel teacher if you would like one might think he would. Which like a T shirt colonel.
Well I listen to a bit of the last segment and it probably will -- Egypt tissue but. And you get Dijjer -- I'm not sure -- I wanna pay that price.
Well it's your it's your choice we don't have. Service on the.
You could you could have one kernel no matter what you say -- I wanna talk to you about the situation in. With this be on the bomber I don't know what column but. Bob dual boot holidays -- the more we learn about this case the more outrageous it is. And I'm talking about the United States Justice Department. Taking him away from homeland security and apparently not even checking with them to see if they're getting information. From about the the terrorists al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula I mean this guy was were crude and trained. Andy he was up to date on everything that was going on with -- al-Qaeda. And somehow some Justice Department lawyers arrived and told them that he had the right to remain silent.
What's got a beard and deep that Obama administration's. Failure is on this guy. Are pretty huge we have I talked about credit before we do know look this failure. But that they the FBI created. Eighty. A team of experts. To question people lesson learned from gitmo Iraq and Afghanistan. Can't justice and didn't call. I mean it's so they were the lawyers -- they had been there which isn't yet a minute there was no coordination on this holed it out of control. And you reluctant valuable intelligence but in all it can back up the fact that guy got a plain English in a plane should have blown up. -- this just is not a it would it -- terribly executed operation but governor it was failed completely failed. And -- on the compound it by this unreasonable approach the Justice Department to.
The I want you -- prosecuted. The AG's office is acting like their public defender because for this guy.
you had a very weird sense -- just -- justice when it comes to terrorists from the beginning. I like I like I like -- guide triumph kill him a lot of golf. What you gotta get -- into -- problem and that's what this team was how the team with that kind. To question people based on what the word today that the last eight years. Just just who by the way still won the FBI. Didn't call me an -- coordinating the -- and security State Department CIA all of the money this administration. Has not been good. And that that this fifth turned out to be all -- nobody died. But it wasn't because this administration did anything to stop it and they knew about it it in now as you said. Acting and yes this somehow lawyers war. You know the total embargo in the GDP it's. That bush could opt out we talked about it before it is not only digital of the chemical reaction he didn't want that he actually lit two seats on the playing this.
I understand it I mean does Eric Holder think he would have died if he'd been on the plane because he's politically correct guy who wants to give him his civil rights I don't understand this -- mean. This is I don't think this is even a political thing I mean if you're an American. You want to stop this kind of thing from happening because even if you hate the country could be you on the next plane right.
Right the East Europe you to help elect a guy who's made terrorism not the health care. Are essential to -- Scott stone -- you still get people pay attention now. Oh did he make terrorism and proprietary limited tissue percent of people care about. And he's been huge mistake in being politically correct. -- safety is no question.
Or how how at this where that you only gets worse though you know it's it's not like they come out they say we made a terrible error will never make again we've set up these protocol so this doesn't happen they send out that -- Gibbs the Press Secretary on to Chris Wallace should show on Sunday. And he says all we got everything we needed from this guy.
The medical. For about give and have a -- and not Canada not technically it's really just saying that that we can that the -- arbitration sent out. Treated and people at all or tip for people to talk show got to know untroubled -- showed up what Fox News is a big deal could donate -- aren't decides box. I want to bite you in the nation give it does not have a clearance to know what we're -- that they play here he Pietrus secret clearance. At best and not declared it's quite -- noticed --
But what I'm so what I'm getting a colonel hunt is you know they they take weeks and weeks to interrogate somebody and then they should. Did to interrogate somebody who's just robbed a few banks you know what I mean.
The cost. Is. As it was. It was embarrassing. The longer this guy I was gonna talk anybody. We that the more you find out about all this signal that was sent this same weight to the training area from the kick -- all the stops. That the law the quicker this got this administration get this guy away. -- embarrassing desktop this was put it this this attack should have been it -- successful. Up until the plot to bomb -- did not blow up. That's great that we -- aggregate net debt at an active terrorist attack on this country helped lead administration by the way. Can take apart when the first one I gotta be considered. The more you look at the purportedly bombing before his shooting.
I thought that was an isolated extremist according to the president of the United States.
Which -- its cord blood was an isolate I think those is a that is.
Guys that that guy Kristi god only. And it's embarrassing as a former army -- to the idiot who can't get it to an audience for a couple of -- I can't look any more I read one time thought it was possible look at that got back I put it that way but that that's just. -- know you've got to look at this award at the time of war and that's two strikes. They cannot afford durable this this one is truly amazing how we've given this a -- This administration to pass in this bombing in December it was a to help the perils.
I don't think they've gotten a total pass anyway like you said Scott Brown it was a it was one of it wasn't it wasn't his biggest health care but it was the second issue after health -- I think we got him elected.
Gonna need you all agree that you guys wanna don't -- stop because military background. And common sense he -- in tipping point. In Massachusetts and they and people paid attention to it as they should. After his eight years of doing this -- that -- this I think it's a very good issue to run on that we need more on that because things like that did this -- the war. We've got to weren't afraid fight that war with how this political collecting about it in this by the way. In spades. Without the power Powell and probably a security guy that breadth of their work and they're still trying to figure out what to call a terrorist. State attitude is they don't I don't in the.
Like I I don't know what terrible chain today I gotta I gotta work colonel what's she's okay with veteran. Yeah right --
Yeah exactly and then that guy I did this but if a couple of good -- Qaeda penetration -- don't want -- gates is not a good one. But the and I but the problem the administration having. How does bite -- it or not -- that's not doing -- Walt and this example of how about Obama got on to the radar. Comet plane to blow blow into the U reaction -- it by the Justice Department. It is actually ridiculous at that time award yet should question them. To police popular baby at least it's 48 hours if not a week. And then then do what you wanna do multiple let's get an Intel discussed -- coming up and tortured. Do you you have to get information quit at all and while this guy scared and they didn't do that.
I see now. Now what Joe Lieberman and Susan Collins have written the whole work you know great that's gonna do a lot of good. Saying that saying that he should be -- with the bomber should merely be transferred to the Department of Defense. But -- ask how can but how. -- given his Miranda rights -- you know they you know be a bad winners on the federal court that until I adjusted the Defense Department have this guy eight.
Then that's not there's no chance. It don't get to that that that the DOJ about a gut says they're gonna give up this guy to the department had not gonna happen. And and it said that that the problem again and again that's probably -- just just apple lawyers doesn't call the FBI team would they created. To handle exactly this type of situation on home soil notes and committing your kid talk to.
It's one thing you know when mason when that they're talking about not have an nativity scene in the White House and that's just political correctness gone out run amok but I mean in this case it could cost people cost hundreds or thousands of people but a lot. --
And it during a time of war. -- eleven would get guys that the other that -- getting combat in Iraq. That it -- and ended ended guy get on get our -- get that close to killing everybody that played. I ended treat him this way. It's criminal it's -- can do that went into administration cannot afford. They cannot afford a third third what is to happen.
There was some good Chicago London papers they said they stopped to be bully Bob might have been terrorist getting out of Heathrow they're just -- they just thrown everything up against the wall that's why the are raised the terror threat in the UK.
Yes they had yet it Atlanta and also what I think it's important to say that bin Laden. His claim credit that. They -- people get that Obama ordered what a low ball is taking credit art which I think Diane Sawyer you can't do that this is the guy did not. And indeed if these people and audio tape up in London that look I'm glad this happened. You know we did it that al-Qaeda no question about it and we should be paying attention course would. And then we'd rather than the guy -- that is right after we get information outside that -- that inhibits -- like that they.
I agree and I if you -- Paul I dare say he had 90% of the American people would agree with that would make.
Then again it wouldn't wouldn't know the -- when administration besides failing to find this guy can we get quiet and sent to machine gunfire and smoked it. They did that team the -- team that created a column that we didn't get a call the department justice. The agent who created to question the guy. But can't they don't let the FBI and our government learned from gitmo Iraq I can't get DOJ didn't com. That -- I don't -- Palin -- to lose the case. These criminal witness is we're gonna show up. Like this guy was you know we couldn't pinpoint this guy on our news isn't it after gunfire -- what.
Put an end and you know the thing is we get these predator drones that the CIA -- they're flying around overrun Afghanistan and Pakistan. Are they read the -- it's tough what they got dropped the.
The problem we've gotten the -- of an accurate. Did you can talk to leave the pop Madonna American thought -- I'm sure -- the problem. What that person right and again. The Justice Department could hit the whole industry analyst better. I put all -- can get the plane. But yeah you won't affect the the government and then it. It smells and it it felt a lot of desperation but this this that is that poorly handled. -- almost tragic -- American dream and of people that plane crash -- Christmas Day.
Christmas -- yeah I'm unbelievable and I got I don't know and I got a guy gets on let's go over to -- the gets on with a one way ticket that he paid cash war with no luggage after his father tries to alert the US government that he's a terrorist. And nobody. Can go out. You can't really to remain silent Sunday bomber.
Yeah ally and Angola and then I guess again planes to -- and smoked it.
I'll eat heavy -- did everything you spoke it would get chemical reaction didn't occur and and the administration tried to deploy lawyers and not question them. -- you wouldn't they do a lot better by admitting they adopt.
And they and that there -- their responses that come up with new ways to hassle you -- who already have to get the the wind because we have artificial hips.
But yeah and -- shoot at you you're good but it did not let that obviously initial reaction beside DOJ but -- Connell. Saying everything worked in their blood and get on television and it worked. But not to a 1000%. You can't do this -- instituted -- it's transparent and again. I think that kind of been sent I helped elect Scott I really do.
I'm glad I'm glad I'm not flying overseas that's all I can say I mean it's.
Take a long time to get you back in the country and how it's sad that it's bad enough it came back and forth like you -- And so it was it took everything can't -- that not everything.
Right that's just that I mean they -- it's like god guns you know every time there's a gun atrocities. They cracked down on the law abiding gun owners' right it's a definite law abiding travelers have to pay a price for the stuff.
We need to. And he's not political correctness to fight this war. And did this administration so far has shown it not to be. In my trying to Connecticut and yeah I bought probably that I call it I made a mistake but that -- that -- took. Get to decide and Afghanistan. The way they handled it the reaction of the Woodstock general that there are two -- awarded this dispatched opposite not. Did not make us feel safe and did an adept at administration can handle. What -- toward -- the net -- and they've got to get a -- going out.
Let's take a call to for colonel hunt Robert you're next with Howie Carr and colonel David Hunt go ahead Robert.
Very much colonel. I think the point is being -- you are speaking as if Eric Holder and mr. Obama. Our incompetent they are not incompetent they know exactly what they are doing. They are anti American. They want to --
They wanna lose the next election Robert. -- yeah that's the that's the that's gonna be the ultimate pay off form that.
It didn't matter who the next question is set up on the path of destruction. Which their budgets with the help with the terrorism then they win. But it is committed if you if you believe and how he does and I do about it that what happened with Scott round is the beginning. They get that was remarkable win considering what happened probably read that we're talking about -- it -- they continue to guaranteeing a third incident. And that battle and it -- reality Ali I don't believe Obama get reelected if the competitive I don't believe it.
And they're and they're thrown everything they Canada us don't you think colonel hunt.
The key that you got he got to cut I think you're gonna -- Kelly they can do when government -- great candidate.
He has he has season certainly certainly better than the incumbent thanks for.
Roberts. She is the yeah yeah I can come. Yeah you're not the only person who feels that way current especially after that state of the state address talk about limp limp by delivery -- migrant iron and speechwriter. GM figured it Jim Euronext with how we guard colonel hunt going had that Jim.
I I do it I didn't. I eight colonel hunt I was wondering you're the I think to be truthful that there are airliner on Christmas Day was just. Setting refused because if we had had. On Christmas Day it had that plane. Bought because of al-Qaeda. Right next to the largest Muslim population in America. I think they were turned trigger civil war or almost. You have big guy.
I don't I wouldn't doubt that got I didn't get insidious these brilliant Arnott and attacked but they're very very good angle. But my point is habitat -- is it. The dip explosives might escape the guys that are all you people look at that it's possible good the problem ignite here. And that's dangerous to the fact that they got that close but that didn't think quite that occurred about. Being in big Detroit picked -- very large -- things I hadn't thought about.
They -- call Jim I get ideology there any -- next with Howie Carr and colonel David Hunt go ahead any.
Thank you very much for taking my call Kyle hunt thank you for your starters I like few other. I'm I'm I'm major in the bond act for the good -- that the -- correct you that.

Are Conning our troops to take their lives. By moving them to -- the place sitting out who would I --
The medical service -- he belongs to it not a very strong part of it. Military. I don't believe that I'd that what the I know I have not I have I would bet against it I think we can they lifted that no question is bought he should be fired wide.
