However, one particularly stupid comment caught my attention and I thought I’d post myanswer to it.

“and what happened to airport security isn’t that suppose to protect us? I’m so scared I think I will just go back to sleep for awhile.”

I don’t know about you, but last time I flew, I could take any kind of liquid/jell on board the aircraft with me. I wouldn’t have thought of it, because my brain doesn’t work that way, but I’ll bet that with the right amount of $$ even I could devise a bomb using disguised electronics (cell phone, laptop, ipod) and liquids (hair jel, mouthwash, medice bottles) to make a fairly substantial bomb.

My ‘hobby’ in high school was making explosives. Somewhat weird, I know, but I loved chemistry, and attended the science fairs with other students, and it was common for us to trade our ‘recipes’ for different explosives. To me, it was just for the fun of recreating the proper procedures to create the compounds with the somewhat unstable chemical bonds that would produce an explosive reaction. Mostly I just made my own fireworks, but I did make some pretty potent contact explosives and fairly complex detonatable substances. No doubt today I’d be on the FBI’s watch list, kicked out of school, and sent to a shrink for examination, but back in the 70’s, it was just considered one of those ‘boys will be boys’ kind of things. I no longer do any of that stuff, and the only explosives I have are contained in brass casings with leaden projectiles capping them.

It’s scary that there are so many truly moronic people populating the Democratic party, and that they sometimes have an opportunity to have a say in what happens here. And when the you-know-what really hits the fan here, they will be crying “Why weren’t we WARNED??” before blaming the government for not protecting them. Anyone remember Katrina?

*grin* I’m with ya there, Les!

Obviously it makes no sense to wait until after the CT election, if this is a political move. It’s too late to help Joe, and much too soon to influence the events of November.

And, umm, can we talk here? There was no way the bad guys were ever going to bring this off–they’d been under surveillance for more than a year. So can we stop the hysterical nonsense about how close we came?

Me? I am ready for some FOOTBALL.

“That idiot Bushitler! He fooled us again!!!11!!

Yesterday a top news story in Britian was how many members of Parliament were demanding that it be recalled to discuss the government’s treatment of the Lebanon war.

Now whilst I support the government’s line on that war (basically no “death to Israel” stuff), most Labour members of Parliament (and many non Labour members of Parliament) do not.

Hundreds of members of Parliament were signing documents demanding the recall of Paliament – one of these M.P.s. was Gordon Brown’s (Mr Brown being the finance minister and Mr Blair’s chief rival in the Labour party) parliamentary assistant.

So Mr Blair was in terrible trouble. Had Parliament been recalled he would have been torn apart by his own party.

And today we get a massive security alert.

Why were not the terrorists arrested weeks ago – or sometime in the future.

Did it just have to be TODAY?

That comment, to me, is as bizarre as any moonbat conspiracy theory on the US side of the pond.

Being reported everywhere that the Brits have busted up a major terrorist plot:

British authorities thwarted a terrorist plot to blow up an aircraft in mid-flight between the United States and the United Kingdom using explosives smuggled in hand luggag

That same obstructionist impulse would have prevented the NSA terrorist monitoring program which played an important role in uncovering this terrorist plot.

With less than 90 days to go before an election which will decide whether we continue with our current efforts, which are still woefully inadequate, or we turn back and allow the delusionists to take charge.

The events of 8/10 should be wake up call and a reminder that another 9/11 or worse is possible if we fail to understand the danger we face.

Hoo man these guys are good at fig yar in stradudgeez! I hadn’t thought of that…….yet. Thanks!
