Clinton, Obama and NYC

A little prediction...

I truly believe that Obama is trying to sway New York's D-Gov Paterson from campaigning again in 2010 so that Hillary Clinton can take the seat. Obama's involvement in persuading Paterson could be used as a deal between Obama and Clinton to thwart any ill defamation from an unhappy Clinton once she leaves her current post.

1) Obama would be thrilled to be rid of Hillary. Didn't want her as VP, definitely doesn't want her still.
2) Clinton wants control and misses it.
3) Clinton still has a viable chance of Presidency in the future and wants out of a failing presidential term and any association with Obama could prevent a successful campaign in 3 years.

Just a thought.

NYC bomb plan thwarted by FBI.

Within days of 9/11 remembrance, seven Al Qaeda members were "detained" for participating in a heavily planned plot to bomb New York City's transportation centers. Organizing the plot was 24 year old Afghan national, Najibullah Zazi, a coffee cart street vendor residing in Queens. Zazi and his cohorts had computers, cellphone and nine identical backpacks found during the arrests.

The FBI was tipped off to Zazi after his frequent visits to Pakistan and his inaccurate finance records. Despite the recorded documents and evidence in the FBI's possession, they hope to convert him into a cooperative witness detailing his bomb making connections in Pakistan.
