Britain foils massive terror plot; jihadists coming out of the British woodwork
August 10, 2006
By Greg Strange

Those twisted, demented jihadists just don't quit, do they? British authorities have thwarted a massive terror plot to blow up at least several commercial aircraft mid-flight between Britain and the United States. Experts are saying the plot reeks of al-Qaida and is similar to the failed Bojinka plot in 1995 to blow up airliners over the Pacific. Same type of plot, different ocean.

You can't help but think back a week or so when the blogosphere brought to our attention a BBC comedy which featured a satirical "Terrorism Awards" show which included video of terrorists crashing an airliner into the Houses of Parliament. Ha ha ha! Stop it already, you're slayin' me! The real jihadists must have been in absolute stitches over that fine piece of British satire.

Speaking of the real jihadists, anyone care to guess how the plot suspects are being described? Try "mainly young, British-born Asian men." Could that possibly be deep code for . . . Islamic radicals, born and bred in jolly old England?

Despite the BBC's penchant for chic terrorism satire, England is fast becoming not so jolly. I don't want to say Britain has a huge problem on its hands with its significant population of surly, intolerant Islamic radicals who are totally at odds with their host country, as well as the West in general and pretty much all of modernity, but British Home Secretary John Reid said that Britain is living through its most threatening time since WWII.

But back to the specifics of the thwarted plot. The terrorists were going to carry on board planes liquid explosives disguised as drinks and electronic devices made to look like everyday items. They would then be combined sometime during the flights and detonated.

Scotland Yard described it as a plot "to cause mass murder on an unimaginable scale." Really? Mass murder on an unimaginable scale? Iran is desperately seeking nukes and Ahmadinejad's standard stump speech never fails to include the necessity of wiping Israel off the map. When it comes to radical Islam, no amount of mass murder is unimaginable.

And by the way, does anybody happen to remember 9/11? Nothing has been unimaginable since that day.

What do the anti-war whiners have to say now? They sure are quiet today. I don't hear of Cindy Sheehan or Michael Moore spouting off any of their drivel.

Find the liquid explosives and give them all a drink.

There is usually a 24 hour standown time after an event. They have to collectively come to a decision about how they feel about it. Wait for it though.

DID JUST A FEW OF YOU WAKE UP THIS MORNING?
By Neal Boortz

Oh sure .. you woke up, or you wouldn't be reading this. But did you WAKE UP?

While you were sleeping British intelligence agents were thwarting another terrorist attack. This one would have been a biggie. Twenty-one people, all Muslims, apparently all Arabs, are in custody. Officials say their plot has a strong Al-Qaeda connection.

What plot?

Glad you asked. They were going to blow up several airplanes flying from England to the U.S. The The attack was going to be on several airplanes flying from Britain to the United States. The airlines to be attacked were Continental, American and United. They were going to blow them all up, killing hundreds of passengers on board.

A police official in the UK said the plan was "intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale." It is fabulous news that this plan was thwarted and no one was hurt.

So now that there has been such a public foiling of another terror attack, will this convince the appeasers who don't believe in the War On Radical Islam? It should. Too many people have become complacent since 9/11. Today is your reminder.

Right now, there are people in the world that want to kill you. These people are fanatics. They're fanatics of the worse kind .... religious fanatics. They're intelligent. They have money. They have resources. They're determined. They don't care if they die ... and they're very very patient.

Their goal is to bring the entire world under Islamic law ... or do die trying. Either way they believe they will receive the reward of eternal paradise.

How do you fight an enemy like that? They will never stop trying to kill us. We say negotiations, they hear appeasement. We say peace plan, they hear surrender. We say peaceful coexistence, they plot to grow their numbers and their strength while we're wallowing in our own political correctness.

There is only one way to address radical Islam, and that is to completely and absolutely destroy it. We seek the Islamofascists throughout the world. We locate them, and then we destroy them.

This global war on radical Islam is a fight for our Western civilization and culture. It's a fight for our very way of life.

While we all celebrate the thwarting of another Islamic terrorist attack, the Islamofascists merely shrug this temporary setback off and head back to the old drawing board. The next terrorist attack on the west is being planned as you read or listen to these words. In fact ... there might even be an urgency on the part of the Islamic radicals to pull off a terrorist attack as quickly as possible ... just to show the Muslim world that they are still viable ... still strong ... still capable of delivering death.

A few minutes of patting ourselves on the back is fine. Today's foiled terrorist attack proves that very point. Whether it's deposing a terror-friendly regime in Iraq, or cleaning out Hezbollah from Lebanon, we have to prevail. Perhaps the events of this morning will convince more people.
