If Faisal Shazhad Received Taliban Training, Why Was His Bomb A Joke?

The bomb was a joke. He had non-explosive grade fertilizer. He had some fireworks and plastic alarm clocks. He left the hazard light blinking. You think that's going to blow up Times Square? Whatever people.

Don't you think if he had been trained to be a terrorist, he would have known how to make a bomb?

Nonetheless, that is the new talking point.
