They are coming for you, too.
Ya know what Brianna? The Muslims say exactly the same about the West. Hey, your own Chief has repeatedly told that in his "Axis of Evil" speeches, the Iraq invasion and with his ridiculous "Bring em on" quotes. But what else can you expect from a President whose intelligence goes as deep as a saucer?

Too late. Too many of us so hate saucers as to have elected that mental midget.

Question: How many new terrorist plots will need to be uncovered to ensure a Republican triumph in Novermber? I would not be shocked to see no one ever convicted in the (alleged) plot by British muslims to bring down planes. But by the time the cases are dismissed, another white girl will be abducted and killed and the media will not pay any attention.

That depends on how much cred the Dems are able to build around security issues. Tough row to hoe.

Democrats cannot even decide to be for the war or against the war. Sound like John Kerry playing politician? Democrats under Nancy Pelosi are so disfunctional as to not even frame an obvious issue - George Jr corporate welfare for the drug industry in a latest modification to Medicaid. Democrats first have to learn how to use the hoe - they are currently that disfunctional.

I really don't think you can argue that there was no plot, or that it was all orchestrated by the US government in order to boost support. Well, not without decending into conspiracy theories more ridiculous than government mind-control devices.

Still waiting for that al Qaeda attack on the Prudential Building in Newark NJ. Oh. Information on that attack was obtained by torture in Guantanamo. Torture is so acceptable and obtains such reliable information that we went to Orange Alert. Clearly the Prudential Building will be attacked. After call, credibility is George Jr.

Right area, wrong building, it will be a little closer to the water. A nondescript chlorine manufacturing plant.

No, any country guilty of existing has made themselves a target. The US and UK have not been the only nations targeted by terrorists and not all nations targeted have been standing shoulder to shoulder with us.

Examples? Supporting facts? Details that would also put that post into a perspective that was intended.

Shame, shame on you.

I'm waiting, Dana, et. al., to fly my airline.

You're full of it. even with evidence you refuse to believe. Good luck to you. When radical Muslims say they hate the West they mean YOU, too. YOU. you all live in a world where muslims hate only the US.

They are coming for you, too.

Savor that for a bit.

I'm sure, Nay, I am CERTAIN, that radical muslim means you, danaC, and all those 'enlightened' females (who so laughably think muslim cares about them--) are at risk! Sign on up! We welcome your sacrifice! Where do we strap on the bomb? the cloak of holes?
a) I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that radical muslim groups hold as much hatred for my country as they do for yours; as evidenced by the London bombings. I have been under no illusion that we can stand 'shoulder to shoulder' and yet somehow be seen as entirely different and therefore deserving of different treatment:P

b) At what point did you get the impression that I thought radical Moslem men had any sympathy whatsoever for my feminist leanings? I would imagine your average radical Moslem, or even not-so-radical Moslem (along with quite a few other faiths) would consider my feminism disturbing, possibly revolting and certainly not something deserving of respect. Does this therefore mean I should develop an abiding hatred of Moslems?

c) Britain is clearly a target for terrorist acts. Any country engaged in the current 'Crusade' has made themselves a target by their involvement. To be entirely honest, terrorism isn't really a new phenomenon in the UK and the level of security hysteria seems entirely at odds with the level of the threat.

This does not mean that I don't see the threat.

Of course there is the possibility of this threat having been a genuine one. The fact that my (and many others) first response was ....yeah, believe it when you give me proof......is indicative of how many false alarms and fishing expeditions our security services have indulged in. Often these occur close enough to a vote on new security measures as to raise an eyebrow or two.

I think tw likes me.
