Of course he doesn't believe it. Then again, his "Terror Chart" looks like this:

This is the third thread I've read on this ongoing investigation.

None of the articles have described the arrested terrorists.

Not one.

They're Japanese businessmen and Lithuanian senior citizens.

LOL!

But seriously do the luvvies really think the UK government would play fast and loose with the world economy as a ruse to drum up some imaginary islamist threat?

Amazing. Tony Blaie can't fly back from the Caribbean because it will be looked at as political pandering. What the hell is going on in this world?

For real?!? Perhaps he just doesn't want to announce it for the local media in Britain? We can't take all the initial announcement on the movement of political officials as the truth at the moment. I sure wouldn't want to announce his potential location while they were under attack. Their media, the horrid liberal leftist press over there, would love to provide exact geo-sat coordinates for PM Blair while he was vulnerable.

We should just state that whatever nation or nations aid and abet these terrorists, they have committed an ACT OF WAR against the United States of America, with all the implications thereof.

Just heard on the news airport security is banning all liquids brought on board worldwide. Liquids will be confiscated except baby formula or medicines if they are in a see through bag. All bags will be opened. Expect long lines and delays.

Will the MSM report this as 20 mentally ill youths did this?

It appears that they have been successful in thwarting this terrorist act. There was an intensive security and intelligence operation in Britain. The NYTimes and the DemocRATS are not going to be happy about this.

vitmo:

The British gov't has taken their own flag down at prisons in the U.K. so as not to offend the Muslims. Last week came the report that all the toilets in the welfare projects are going to be realigned so that they don't face Mecca.

This one news report has a quote from some idiot who states that a few hours without her iPod is the real horror. What are the British people thinking? The first reply quotes some guy on the radio call in saying that it's not a real threat, that the gov't is making this up?

Could you please tell me if ANY Brits at all saw what happened to your subways and buses on 7/11? What is the matter with the Brits?

We are watching the end days of a once great empire. My hope is the USA doesn't follow suit.......

"Police arrested a number of people overnight in London after a major covert counterterrorism operation that had lasted several months, but did not immediately say how many."

I hope they put panties on their heads and make them spill their guts.

Any mosque, anywhere in the world, is a potential threat.

I don't count the Brits out just yet. They've done some incredibly dumb things, but so have we Americans. They've got Red Ken and we've got Hillary.

The main problem for the Brits is that they've been disarmed.
This war will come down to an individual's ability to protect their own life, family, and home.

I'm so mad about those "EGYPTIAN STUDENTS" that I could spit!
