But was what she witnessed only a dry run for an operation delayed until now?

That's what she thought. If Snopes said this is false, then I would saw that Snopes has been discredited. I read that article when she wrote it. It was utterly chilling. And it's been awhile, so this thing has been in the planning for quite some time. I don't know that it was planning for this exact attack we're hearing about today, but I have no doubt that it was research for an attack at some point.

[twigs]

No, she was a passenger.

[Paved Paradise]

Yeah. The only upside to this stuff is it may give the Pubs an edge in the elections. I happen to be a little nervous about the Dems winning in '08 and what that will mean for our security.

[Paved Paradise]

Yes, and they are going to begin profiling of all men with black pants and suspenders and straw hats.

Please freep the Globe and Mail online discussion. The moonbats are squawking about the evil Bushitler. Yikes, 25% of my country's citizens are raving lunatics. Someone has gravely failed our education system.

ALL MOSLEMS NEED TO BE DEPORTED FROM THE US ..Time for PC talk is over..We MUST DEMAND THIS !

I thought their plan was to blow them up over the Atlantic...did I miss something?

[Aquinasfan]

A co-worker DUmmie is in denial. This morning she tried to brush off the report as "a bunch of amateurs, like those kids in Florida who claimed to be Al Qaeda." The rest of us smirked.

[sonic109]

I TOTALLY AGREE..NO ONE GETS ELECTED UNLESS THEY AGREE..We , the PEOPLE , need to mobilize and slam the politicians (who will get us all killed by their inaction)

[Aquinasfan]

As the operation got under way we spoke to community leaders to make them aware that a major anti-terrorist operation was taking place but without giving specific details about locations.

What's the point? To tip them off?

[sonic109]

Good, tell you a hole co worker to get on a flight to England then .

"Please freep the Globe and Mail online discussion..."

With pleasure.

[TomGuy]

I'm glad to see FoxNews finally using the Internet to stream their broadcasts. I hope this is a permanent feature.

On what basis? Does this include American citizens?

You know you can't do that, don't you?

This attack was originally scheduled for Dec. 2003 and was disrupted at the time. But this operation is much larger than the original one that was disrupted.

[vimto]

That was what was said - but maybe that was so not as to frazzle the brains of the tenderhearted.

"Don't panic Captain Mannering, don't PANIC, DON'T PANIC!!!!! They don't like cold steel up 'em!" (Dad's army - great Brit sitcom of days gone by).

[Aquinasfan]

One thing I love about the UK is that no matter what PC there is in society we still have our Special Forces and they don't mess around.

Back in the '70s, my English mother used to complain about the number of Pakistanis that England was letting into the country. I thought she was racist, due to my fine gov't education.

Ah well, live and learn.

The link(s)were posted on last evenings ME thread. Don't know how long they have been active.

I've gone through this before on this forum and was pilloried by some who claim to have experience and expertise in all things aeronautical. I have neither.

1) Explosion near wing
2) Erratic motions by the aircraft
3) Aircraft begins nosedive as parts separate
4) Aircraft crashes into ground

These folks were so close, that the Captain of the vessel was able to position the boat over the wreckage of the tail assembly that sank in the bay. They remained on station until the NYPD Harbor Unit arrived to take over and supervise the raising of the assembly.

People should be really scared. On Bennett this morning, Horowitz was talking about Soros (traitor) and imagine Sorox pulling the puppet strings on someone like Kerry.
