Failed Times Square Bomber Remains Defiant

Had he built the Times Square device the way he had originally intended to, terrorist Faisal Shahzad, would have turned his SUV and nearby vehicles into a fatal spray of razor-sharp fragments and transformed building windows into glass guillotines hurtling to the streets, cutting down hundreds of people walking by.

The results were discovered after feds composed the type of bomb Shahzad set out to make -- with the exact components he had initially intended to use -- and exploded it in Pennsylvania last month.

NYC's Mayor Gloomberg, dhimmi shill extraordinaire for the Ground Zero Mega Mosque, aka Mecca on the Hudson, said at the time that it could have been placed by “somebody with a political agenda who doesn't like the health care bill or something."

Failed Times Square bomber Faisal Shahzad was sentenced this morning to life behind bars for trying to set-off a parked car full of explosives.

A defiant Shahzad said "Allahu Akbar" -- Arabic for "God is great" -- after the judge sentenced him to the mandatory life imprisonment.

"Brace yourself because the war with the Muslims has only just begun," he told the judge before he was sentenced during the 30-minute hearing. "The defeat of the US is imminent and will happen in the near future."

Shahzad, 31, a married father of two and naturalized American citizen who lived in Bridgeport, Conn., had pleaded guilty on June 21 in Manhattan federal court to 10 felonies, including international terrorism and trying to use a weapon of mass destruction.

When Judge Miriam Goldman Cedarbaum asked Shahzad, who was sporting a beard, that he was an American citizen and that he had sworn an oath, he replied, "I did swear, but I didn't mean it."

The judge handed Shahzad six life sentences -- to run concurrently -- for his crimes.

"So, I am happy with the deal," a smirking Shahzad said.

At one point, Cedarbaum argued with the unrepentant Shahzad.

“You appear to be someone who was capable of education and I do hope you will spend some of the time in prison thinking carefully about whether the Koran wants you to kill lots of people,” she told Shahzad.

Shahzad responded that the Koran "gives us the right to defend. And that’s all I’m doing.”

Cedarbaum told Shahzad that the time he spends in the slammer could be used to re-think "whether the Koran wants you to kill lots of people."

The courtroom was packed with marshals and other security as Shahzad was led away in handcuffs.

The feds have said that Shahzad put together an improvised car bomb -- a 1993 Pathfinder fitted with 250 pounds of ammonium nitrate and diesel fuel, three 25-pound propane tanks and two five-gallon gasoline canisters -- that failed to ignite.

Bomb experts who have studied Shahzad's design before using it to build a working model say clearly demonstrated his deadly intent.

"Had the bombing played out as Shahzad had so carefully planned, the lives of numerous residents and visitors of the city would have been lost and countless others would have been forever traumatized," prosecutors wrote in court papers.
