I have no sympathy at all for those who built a bomb into a printer but do
the photos show how ignorant they were about correctly assembling
equipment.
CNN showed a close up photo of the cellphone's circuit board used in the
bomb. It looked bady mounted. What sort of person would bodge the assembly
like that?
Obama's people of course. This is a clear case of "Wag the Dog". The Dems
are down in the polls and election day is fast approaching. They needed to
do something to try and make themselves look good.

That looks like a reasonable possibility to me.
I usually dont believe in conspiration and paranoid stuff but the fact is
George Bush II The Dumb benefited a lot from the September 11 event
politically speaking.
In addition this event had been an opportunity to reduce individual liberty
and increase citizen surveillance (and not only in USA).
Terrorists are usually not very clever people but I dont think they could
make such a poorly designed bomb.
This bomb seems to be made to really look like an amateur work to as
much people as possible.
This newspaper quotes someone saying it was constructed in a "profesional
manner"!
The device contained a highly explosive combination of PETN
and lead azide and "was prepared in a professional manner
and equipped with an electrical circuit linked to a mobile
telephone (SIM) card concealed in the printer."

Insignificant people, anonymous people... I'm being kind... Plonk.

It should have set red flags from the start--who ships a low end laser
printer to the USA? The shipping cost alone was more than the printer
was even remotely worth.
I wouldn't be a bit surprised to find that this and the underpants bomber
were phony setups for the specific purpose of whipping up anti-Islam
hysteria so that the Washington DC paranoids have an excuse to further
restrict American's freedoms.
The "terrorists" must be rolling on the floor laughing out loud as they
watch America tie itself up in knots "protecting" itself.
America lost the "war on terror"[1] the day the Federal Government started
strip-searching American Citizens.
Thanks,

[1] Yea, verily, went over to the other side.
I won't go so far as to claim or suggest that. If there weren't
already plenty of evidence that there *are* anti-American interests
in some countries overseas who are using these sorts of bombing
tactics on their own turf (or in neighboring countries) I might tend
to believe you... but I think that Occam's Razor suggests that these
bombing attempts are just a continuation of tactics that are already
widely acknowledged to be in use.
More likely, in my opionion, is the idea that these were actual
(real) attempts, but that the people setting them up knew that these
would have a substantial negative effect on American interests
regardless of whether the bombs were effective or not. The mere fact
that the bombs got onto planes, causes all sort of a ruckus, which
ties up expensive resources in the U.S. and elsewhere. They also whip
up anti-Islam sentiments, as you point out... which (from the point of
view of radical Islamists) isn't a bad thing, since it simply further
polarizes the situation and pushes America more in the direction of
behaving like an "Enemy of Islam".
For a rather light-hearted (but still very relevant) look at this sort
of tactic, dig up a copy of Eric Frank Russell's "WASP"
science-fiction novel (1957). In it, a single well-disguised
infiltrator, trained in propaganda and sabotage techniques, is dropped
on an enemy planet with orders to create as much confusion and chaos
as he possibly can, by creating the *appearance* of an anti-government
underground movement.
