Iran is close to nukes. Is there any doubt that al-Qaeda will be involved with them in an attack on us?j Perhaps carrying a device over our Southern border? Don't laugh. I read somewhere that a few people have actually been able to sneak into this country undetected. Really.
"...reignited fears that Osama Bin Laden's brand of mass terror is an ever present threat."
"Reignited?" Only among dreamers and idiots who think this will go away easily, like the Beatles fad or something. Islamofascist terrorism is here for a long time, and they will keep blowing stuff up until they figure out there's no payback to them when they do it.
What an interesting Time spin - not that security did a good job but that Al Quaeda is weak.
At what level is the metric for anger of infidels against Islam in all its repugnant forms?
I'd like to see Green Helmet Guy dragging this "appealing figure" around in one of his post-snuff films.
This is the second article in Time I have read on FR in the last few minutes the is relatively fair and balanced towards Bush/ I guess miracles do happen.
Their weakness? Would Al-Q be any less reviled by the West if we didn't attribute copycat acts to them? Good grief, that their template is emulated by others is a strength. Methinks the reality of this terror plot caused an unintended form of terror - terror in the left that their opposition to all things GWB and Blair has exposed them to a resounding defeat. How soon did the sweet crumbs of the Lamont victory in Connecticut turn to dust in their mouths? No wonder Time wants to paint this as some sort of defeat for Al-Q.
"For angry young Muslims in search of a warrior icon of jihad, Hizballah's Sheikh Hassan Nasrallah cuts a far more appealing figure as his men trade blows and hold their own with the most reviled enemy of the Islamists."
Only Time magazine would admire Nasrallah and the Hezbos as heroes. They do not "trade blows" with the Israeli soldiers, but instead, they pack thousands of ball bearings into Katuscha rockets and send them into Israeli homes and hospitals, killing civilian elderly and children. They are the worst cowards in history, yet Time is filled with starry-eyed admiration for the Hezbos.
Does anyone remember hearing about changes in security?
yeah sure, all those talented workers who would have otherwise overstayed their tourist visas
...and the liberal agenda marches on
There is one and only one connection that counts: the religion of mohammed-worshipping itself. This article just shows how clueless so many dhimmis are; on the other hand, maybe they get some masochistic thrill in being subservient to barbarians.
Unfortunately, Bush has shown time and again that he either refuses to acknowledge the source of this war, or he truly does not get it.
Forget about nukes and hit squads and debasing their abilities. Until we start talking plainly about this evil death cult, we are doomed to let them win.
