    Faisal Shahzad entered the plea to the first of 10 charges in an indictment, but said he plans to plead guilty to all of them.

    He told the judge he wanted to “plead guilty and 100 times more.” He also warned that unless the U.S. leaves Muslim lands, “We will be attacking U.S.”

    Entering pleas one-by-one, he began by pleading guilty to attempted use of weapons of mass destruction.

    Mr. Shahzad is accused in a plot that fizzled when a gasoline-and-propane bomb failed to ignite in an SUV parked near a Broadway theater May 1. The Bridgeport, Conn., resident was arrested two days later.

    Don’t spend a penny for him to sit in jail – let him die from hunger – spread his ash in the Arab world – show the world enough is enough.

    No jail for him. He will eat gourmet food at the expense of the taxpayer. He needs to be executed, and his corpse dismembered and dropped in every Muslim neighborhood in his country of origin. They need to see the wrath of America to terror and that we will wave it in their faces. That’s what the Gerrer Rebbe ZT”L said to do to stop the first intifada. Those barbarians know well that we will treat the terrorists handsomely, giving them the same rights they seek to take from us. Wave their dead terrorists in their faces. I am not sure it will help, but it just might get their attention that we have zero tolerance.

    BHO – no more TLing the terror regimes and groups. Send them back corpses. Don’t negotiate a word.
