We have to stop using these terms. Everytime a muslim hears the term jihadist or jihad, it elicits pride not disgust. The word in entirely positive in the realm of Islam. They are not jihadist. They are murdering terrorists.

[WestCoastGal]

One explanation given for that is that the flights are backed up and they have no place to park incoming planes.

ALSO, the city where the raid occurred is 20 miles from the airport and one of the city officials says a lot of people who live there work at the AIRPORT. Isn't it time the Brits and the U.S. throw these extremists OUT!!!

[sockmonkey]

How many more terror plots will it take to treat Jihadist Islam the way Communism and Nazism was treated ?

I was thinking of how in 2004 Annie Leibowitz was called a nut/bigot by some when she wrote the series of articles "terror in the skies" for women's wall street.

I will have to re-read about the Syrian musicians who took turns going to the bathroom and scaring the heck out of passngers. Despite all the "nothing to see here" responses, I thought it was a dry run.

The people at DU are absolutely brainless. Some of the comments are utterly ridiculous.

As for yours:

"so what exactly is bush doing to stop this sh*t? lucky the british weren't asleep"

It happened in BRITAIN. HOW is Bush supposed to control what happens THERE? The BRITISH stopped it in THEIR country. What a MINDLESS remark.

If Bush weren't on the ball, don't you think we;d have had MORE ATTACKS BY NOW?

GEESH! At least give Bush some CREDIT for THAT!

[WestCoastGal]

I agree when it comes to these sob's the "nothing to see here" attitude has to be stopped. Everything they do has to be questioned! They're scurrying around like a bunch of cockroaches that need to be exterminated.

BTW, that goes for the hezbullies that Israel is single handedly trying to eradicate. Why doesn't the rest of the world help them?

Have a closer look at the folks who work inside the Mpls airport sometime.

This is the best I would say:

"I've already thought about what to say to an acquaintance of mine who will say just that. My only response, so far, is, "Then who was responsible for 9/11? And who was responsible for the FIRST attack on the World Trade Towers while Clinton was president and all the other attacks on our embassies and the U.S. Cole?"

You may want to add in the foreign U.S. embassy that was bombed under CLINTON while he was being serviced UNDER his desk.

It is Clinton's fault. He emboldened them by NOT DOING A DAM THING about it. You might want to ask them if they'd like to view a REAL beheading. Nick Berg would be a good one ... and let them SEE what they'd like to do to THEM, asap. Ask them how you "reason" with people like THIS. Just how would they do that.

[sockmonkey]

OOPs, oops, oops. I meant 2004 article by Annie Jacobsen. I have no idea who Annie Leibowitz is or why I typed that name.

[Jaded]

I'm surprised those folks have enough functional brain cells to turn on a computer.

[nmh]

I heard last night that these planes would fly to the U.S. and be blown up over MAJOR cities here so carnage would be unbelievably high - in the plane and on the ground.

[Raycpa]

"This is Bush's fault. Him and his terrible foreign relations."

What foreign relations policy would change the fact that these people believe they are doing the work of God by destroying the west?

[jimbo123]

Exactly. The liberal media is refusing to report that the plane were to be blown up over cities in order to kill people on the ground.

[Valin]

Mainly they are still talking about Lieberman.

[Salvation]

**"We cannot stress too highly the severity that this plot represented," Stephenson said. "Put simply, this was intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale."**

I see this is coming from Prague. Chilling since I was in Prague, Poland, Hungary and Austria a month and a half ago.

We flew in and out of Frankfurt. (Shakes head.)

[Ramius]

Bear in mind that this acquaintance's loud comment on the day of 9/11 was, "This is Bush's fault. Him and his terrible foreign relations." Anybody have a better answer? I would love to hear it.

Bush had terrible foreign policy ~before~ 9/11? He'd barely had time to install all of his staff by then, let alone make any foreign policy moves whatsoever. Considering that the planning for 9/11 started about four years before, I guess the plotters had to be so mad at Bush that they went back in time to plan it?

[GVnana]

At least give Bush some CREDIT for THAT!

They'd rather have LaMont and a latte.

[nmh]

I don't understand them.

Why HIDE that nasty little "fact"?

[nmh]

Or perhaps they WANT a 9/11 repeat that was spurred on because of that lazy, womanizing, druggie, Bill Clinton.

Oh, he makes me sick.

[sonic109]

All M0oslems are suspect . Stop ALL immigration from Islamic countries. It's the only sane way to go .

[VRWCTexan]

Thanks - you stole my reply. Bush is no accountable for controlling terrorist cell activity in the UK

Certainly I want to see Bush seal our borders with troops, and stop allowing muslim males to obtain legal visas.

By the same token, both the dems in congress and the willing lap-dog media have done all that can to stop Bush's efforts to track and disrupt terrorist cells in this country.
