Liberal attitudes in government would have almost certainly seen them succeed!
"The suspects were planning to stage a test run within a couple of days, said a U.S. intelligence official."
This will be interesting if they expand on this ... were they planing on seeing if they could get onboard with chapstick ( which is now banned ) ?
hang 'the suspects'...plain and simple . We need to start making an example of any that would even attempt to do things like this . Silence the bleeding hearts and hang the terrorist bastards . No mercy . Hang them and then feed their bodies to sharks . Terrify them . It's the only way .
Watch the spin from the left....
"Nothing was going to happen today."
"They hadn't even done their dry-run."
"They weren't going to do anything for some time to come"
"They were entrapped, they never would have come up with this plot on their own."
Add your own....
I bet as soon as CNN learns what the "explosive cocktail" is, they'll publish it along with where to get the ingredients.
I think I'll have me a vodka.
Looks like these suspects forgot to read the NY Times article on our wire transfer monitoring program. More likely they wired the money before the program was exposed by the Times. I remember the editor of the Times claiming their story did not hurt the war on terror because everyone knew we were monitoring money transfers.
This is the way these plots are stopped. Wiretapping and money tracking help but infiltration is what counts.
There are US agents doing horrible, disgusting things to maintain their positions in terrible organizations- we owe them an unpayable debt.
"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf."
Arrests made during the morning included Waheed Zaman, a biochemistry student, and Amin Asmin Tariq, a Heathrow security worker. Mr Zaman, who sat on London Metropolitan University’s Student Council as a representative of the Islamic Society, is well known in the community.
not just an airport worker, a security worker. A security worker named Amin Asmin Tariq. Now I wonder who processed his clearance?
Muslims are sick pathetic excuses for life. They are animals. If they convert to Christianity, Hinduism or even atheism, they might can step up the so called evolutionary chain.

Be smart. Motive, Means, Opportunity. The old murder standards. Current screening only removes a large chunk of the means, and the awareness of the public and post-Flight 93 readiness to repell a hijacking on the spot removes 99.9% (or more) of the opportunity. The shoe bomber Reid case shoes how that works -- he had the means, even past screening, yet was DENIED the opportunity.
And in the greater field, the invasion of Afganistan and Iraq, and now Lebannon (by our brother Israel) also have removed whole hives of "means" -- of mean, vile men set to terror and murder.
But we do nothing -- zero, zilch, nada -- at the gates regarding MOTIVE.
And what is the "motive"? Why it is the evil teachings of the particular Muslim sub-sects and significant groups of clerics. Me -- I say those "clerics" who continue to teach jihad as death to infidels, and who teach in any way that to die as a suicide bomber is a gloried matrydom -- those clerics are war criminals of the most genocidal murderous type. No more, no more, no more -- not one day longer should we allow them to teach or speak to any ptotential student or reach out to any by writing, recording, internet, media -- any thing or any re-teller. They are the Hitlers and Mussolinis of our era -- worse -- by their words and teachings they commit acts unbearable by humanity. By delivering and encouraging those teachings and hatred to the young and to the gullible mobs, to the poor -- the mullahs, the imans, the ayatollahs commit murder.
It is they who provide the motive. We must focus on removing the motive -- it is the only area to which we have given no attention. And that is the window through which the missiles fly, the break in the circle of defenders through which good dads become mourners for their good sons, and mothers, grandmothers, daughters and children are viciously slaughtered.
Go against the driving forces -- the motive. The teachings and the teachers.
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
If the rats weren't so concerned it would have energized this nation, they would like to see them succeed. So instead, once again, they jumped on the blame us first bandwagon in step saying Iraq policies caused it. As if they hadn't declared war on us years ago. I am spitting angry.
Remember when the fat pig Michael Moore wrote and also said in an interview the following?
"There is no terrorist threat.
You need to calm down, relax, listen very carefully, and repeat after me:
There is no terrorist threat.
There is no terrorist threat!
There... is... no... terrorist... threat!"
To think this nut sat in the guest of honor seat at the DNC.
A Muslim charity worker, an airport employee with an all access pass, wired funds from Pakistan. The UK police had powers to stop this, powers far greater than US cops. NYTimes should hang its head in shame.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm...........
So much for airport security.
Can you imagine if those S.O.B. Islam-o-wacks put that much effort into doing something constructive for mankind?
