ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia man accused of plotting to use an anti-tank rocket to storm into the White House was arrested in a sting Wednesday after he traded his car for guns and explosives, authorities said.

Hasher Jallal Taheb, 21, of Cumming was arrested Wednesday and is charged with attempting to damage or destroy a building owned by the United States using fire or an explosive, U.S. Attorney Byung J. “BJay” Pak said.

It wasn’t immediately clear whether Taheb had an attorney who could comment on the allegations.

A local law enforcement agency contacted the FBI in March after getting a tip from someone who said Taheb had become radicalized, changed his name and planned to travel abroad, according to an FBI agent’s affidavit filed in court.

1. Guy is a moron as a rocket launcher and some guns would not have gotten to far at all had he

tried to attack the White House and it would have ended with him lying dead under a white sheet.

2. Eat a freakin' Snickers Bar.

You're not yourself when you're hungry. This is beyond anger management.

3. No passport, so he decided a suicide attack here would work better anyway...

Taheb said they would approach the White House from the back road, causing a distraction for police and then would proceed into the White House, using an anti-tank weapon to blow open a door and then take down as many people and do as much damage as possible, the affidavit says.

Taheb told the undercover agent he had never shot a gun but could learn easily and also said he had watched some videos of how grenades explode, authorities said.

Do we have more to fear from stupidity than evil?

(Nah-- real evil doesn't get caught so easily)

6. He should probably share a prison cell ...

... with the shoe bomber and the underwear bomber.

A mob of morons.

In Taheb's defense, he seems to be not very smart, maybe getting some of his ideas (and weapons) from our FBI. This case could get interesting.

11. Training

Despite his detailed attack plans, Taheb told an undercover FBI agent he had never shot a gun but could learn easily and also said he had watched some videos of how grenades explode, the affidavit says.

To be fair, he put more effort into learning to be a terrorist than Dolt45 put into learning to be a president.

4. The headline made me think that the FBI was looking for someone to

Do a hit job

5. If this had happened during the Obama administration,

the NRA would have stepped in to defend Taheb's right to carry an anti-tank rocket.

7. Thats OUR

White house.
Vermin within not withstanding...

8. He's a terrorist. I bet'cha he came into the U.S. from Mexico.

--- now if we had a wall, like we were 'sposed to, he wouldnt'a been here at all.
