The drama that took place over Detroit on Christmas Eve, after one Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was prevented from blowing up a Northwest Airlines plane inbound from Amsterdam has been dubbed a “failed” terrorist attack by the former mainstream media. But the truth is, that attempt to blow up the plane in midair was every bit as successful as if the bomb had detonated and blown the plane and all aboard to smithereens. V.I. Lenin said, “The purpose of Terrorism is to terrorize.” And terrorize the Yemeni contingent of al Qaeda did in this so-called “failed” effort.
