More on the Times Square terrorist

Like I said earlier, the Times Square bomb attempt was probably a decoy. There are others also who think the same. In my case, I feel it was a decoy because the terrorist Shahzad is not your garden variety  terrorist found amongst the illiterate Taliban and Al Qaeda, he is an educated man and that begs the question of how he could have made a mistake in the type of fertilizer he used in the contraption. The Times Square incident was a test,  a test that was  Passed with Flying Colors.

....What crumbled this time was any sense of security. Instead of any towers being toppled in New York City, what crumbled this time was any sense of security that had been restored in America since that fateful day in September 2001.

Today, every person who walks in Times Square – or any city street in America for that matter, feels somewhat vulnerable and violated – and rightly so. New Yorkers along with every other American may not show their concern, but it’s there – deep down inside.

As the pieces of this attempted terrorist bombing are put together in the coming days, weeks and months, it will become apparent that this was not just an attempted bombing, it was a test by Islamic terrorists of America’s vulnerability and security. It’s obvious that the Islamic terrorists were more concerned about planting the bomb and gathering intelligence from Shahzad, than actually getting the bomb detonated.

Doesn’t it seem odd that Shahzad was trying to get back to Pakistan, instead of staying with the bomb and making sure it detonated? ....
