Officials: No worries, America. Well, maybe worry some

FoxNews reported:

U.S. counterterrorism officials stressed that there was no reason for Americans to believe plotters or others connected with the terror scenario were in the country. Still, the FBI has so far assigned an estimated 200 investigators to track down potential links.

Why keep 200 investigators running down leads if there is no connection? Here is why:

Two other U.S. counterterrorism officials, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the investigation, said the British suspects placed calls to several cities in the United States before their arrests. At least some of the calls were placed to people in New York, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, one official said. The suspects are all British citizens, mostly men in the 20s and 30s of Pakistani descent.

And remember the missing Egyptians? Some were found in some of those cities. Maybe just a coincidence, or maybe the reason there was an alert out for these eleven (among probably hundreds of students who weren't where they should have been).

I picked that up in the original article that was posted earlier. Something tells me next week will be a corker.

Someone on FOX, forget the guys name, was saying that August 22 is a VERY meaningful day for Muslims. Don't recall why. Anyone else have more details on that? I was paying too much attention and just caught that date. Time will tell ... .

Three things NO-ONE is talking about...

1. The plotters where British-Pakistanis.
2. We can assume they had British Passports.
3. Under the Visa waiver scheme British Passport holders can enter/leave the US without an interview or security-check.

While the anti-hispanic Mexian-phobic racist brigade rants on and on about the security threat from the Southern border from Maria / Sanchez coming over to cut grass / clean chicken - they take away FOCUS from the fact that the most dangerous and fervent Jihadists in the world can fly right into JFK without even having their passports checked.

That's a lot. One wonders if Mr. Ahneedajihad's plans for 22 August have been somewhat affected....
Note, btw, that the Turks recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders on 23 August, 1244.... One also, therefore, wonders if these planned bombings were supposed to be a diversion from something planned for 23 August.

"Turks recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders on 23 August, 1244"
Check my math on this but if it is 2006 AD and the Turks recaptured Jerusalem in 1244 AD that was 762 years ago.
Now if it is currently 1427 according to the Islamic calendar that would make the recapture of Jerusalem in the year 665. But does the 22nd at midnight make it the year 666 in Islam?
