A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day
Free Republic made its debut in September, 1996, and the forum was added in early 1997.   Over 100,000 people have registered for posting privileges on Free Republic, and the forum is read daily by tens of thousands of concerned citizens and patriots from all around the country and the world.
A Few of FR's Finest....Every Day was introduced on June 24, 2002. It's only a small room in JimRob's house where we can get to know one another a little better; salute and support our military and our leaders; pray for those in need; and congratulate those deserving. We strive to keep our threads entertaining, fun, and pleasing to look at, and often have guest writers contribute an essay, or a profile of another FReeper.
On Mondays please visit us to see photos of A FEW OF FR'S VETERANS AND ACTIVE MILITARY
If you have a suggestion, or an idea, or if there's a FReeper you would like to see featured, please drop one of us a note in FR mail.
We're having fun and hope you are!

Massive Air Terror Plot foiled; Bush blamed
by JohnHuang2


A group of homicidal Islamic maniacs tried to blow up a bunch of airplanes in midflight, so naturally liberals think there must be some "rational" explanation for how such wonderful people with their peaceful religion could possibly fall under Karl Rove's spell like this. Whether it's hacking someone's head off with a dull blade or plunging jets into skyscrapers, you'll hear your typical Jihidiot scream, "Allahu Akbar!" (God is Great!), so you know religion couldn't possibly have anything to do with it.

A commentator on one of the cable news channels recently commented that what motivates young Muslims to do what they do boils down to deep-seated 'philosophical' differences with the West. So, using an easily available peroxide and other materials disguised as beverages, these philosophical deep-thinkers planned to blow up as many as 10 trans-Atlantic airplanes in midflight. But it's not the first time peroxide has figured into the philosophical mix. Peroxide-based explosives were used by these Socratic heavyweights in the 2005 London bombings, the May 2003 Casablanca bombing, the wave of suicide bombings in Israel and the 2001 failed shoe bombing attempt by grand philosopher Richard Reid.

In the foiled scheme to bring down airliners, all of the 24 "insurgents" arrested in England were identified as British Muslims, one of them a woman with a small child and another a Heathrow employee. Press reaction? Three million stories bemoaning how Bush and Blair had disrupted the lives of millions of air travelers. MILLIONS OF AIR TRAVELERS! In the British plot, it is estimated the attacks could have disrupted the lives of 4,000 air travelers in midflight.

The Democrats' reaction to the successful bust was to assail Bush for the setback.

__________________________________________________



Sen. Harry Reid said the foiled plot shows we're not safe. "This latest plot demonstrates the need for the Bush administration and the Congress to change course in Iraq and ensure that we are taking all the steps necessary to protect Americans at home and across the world." Reid's plan to protect Americans is to kill the Patriot Act, not spy on al-Qaeda, enact an early release program at Gitmo and "change course in Iraq" by pulling out immediately. Since al-Qaeda killed as many Americans in New York as it has in Iraq, we need to "change course" in New York by pulling out of New York, too.


__________________________________________________



Rep. Nancy Pelosi said the way to crush al-Qaeda once and for all is to have better "airport security screening at checkpoints." The fierce terror hunter said "we must implement the strong recommendations of the independent 9/11 commission." After getting permission from the French.



__________________________________________________



Sen. Hillary Clinton said the thwarted plot against airplanes shows "we still have not done what we need to do to protect" . . . ports. And bridges. And we're not checking every container (lots of terrorists in those!) 'Herself' added that she doesn't "think our long-term strategy for homeland security is yet what it needs to be." Hillary's long-term strategy for homeland security consists of getting her husband to pardon a group of Puerto Rican terrorists and capturing Joe Camel. And Bill Gates.



__________________________________________________



In a shocking assessment, Sen. Ted Kennedy said we can't let our foreign policy be set by cold-blooded killers blinded by religion -- the Bush administration. "It is clear that (Bush's) misguided policies are making America more hated in the world and making the war on terrorism harder to win." (My name is Osama bin Laden and I approve this message.)



__________________________________________________



Sen. Jay Rockefeller, showcasing the Democrats' new tough stand against terrorism, implied America had it coming. He says he fears "many of our policies over the past five years have done more to inflame extremism than to diminish it. I believe the war in Iraq" was a diversion that "undercut the Bush Administration's ability to protect our people against a terrorist attack."



__________________________________________________


The number of Americans killed on U.S. soil by terrorism since 9/11 amounts to zero, so liberals conclude from this grim statistic that we're less safe so we gotta spend gazillions more at home to get the same result -- but that's only because we don't have Saddam in power keeping us safe. And because Bush won't sign Kyoto.

So, near as I can tell, the solid consensus among libbies these days is that the Iraq war had nothing to do with fighting terrorism and the Iraq war is causing all this terrorism because terrorists are really mad at Bush for removing Saddam who had no ties to terrorists, plus this whole 'Foiled Terror Plot' stuff was cooked up by Bush to further his 'climate of fear,' plus Bush is just 'happy talk' and Bush is trying to scare people and Bush's rosy scenarios are lies since removing Saddam has made us less safe 'cuz those 'tender' 'young' Arab darlings who had no ties to Saddam just wanna blow themselves up after losing Saddam. In other words, all this terrorism is Saddam-motivated, but Saddam is clean as far as terrorism. Sorta like the Lewinsky deal, when Clinton noted that, although Monica had sex with him, he did not have sex with Monica.

Yet, eight years before Bush's "diversion" in Iraq, homicidal Islamic maniacs plotted to blow up 11 trans-Pacific airliners bound from Asia to the U.S. -- the Oplan Bojinka plot hatched by Ramzi Ahmad Yousef. Throughout the 90s, moderate Muslims were kidnapping/shooting/stabbing/bombing people in Russia, the Philippines, Indonesia, India, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Lebanon, Somalia, Kenya, Tanzania, New York, etc. -- all 'cuz of Bu$halliburton's Iraq war which hadn't happened. But hold on. In June, Canada rounded up 17 terror suspects plotting to blow up things there, too. Must be Canada's vast troop presence in Iraq.

In reality, all the action then and now by these friendly Muslims is fueled by the goal of creating some sort of Islamic utopia -- a global caliphate is their bag, an idea undoubtedly planted in their minds by George Bush.
Nonetheless, according to the Democrat theory of fighting terrorism, rule No. 1, after inserting the uppermost part of your body as far as it'll go up your posterior, is to remember you mustn't fight terrorism. It only 'emboldens' terrorists. Mustn't spy on terrorists -- that only 'emboldens' them. Mustn't profile terrorists -- that only 'emboldens' them. Mustn't imprison terrorists -- that only 'emboldens' them. Mustn't torture terrorists -- only 'emboldens' them. Mustn't snoop on their bank records -- only 'emboldens' them. So, according to libbies, fighting, spying, profiling, imprisoning or torturing terrorists 'emboldens' terrorists but electing Ned Lamont and surrendering in Iraq and Afghanistan won't. Fighting terrorism breeds more terrorists. Democrats say this with such certitude -- LOOK HERE, al-Qaeda's latest census data!

Bottom line: Be nice to them, and they'll be nice to us. If they're not, fire off a strongly-worded U.N. resolution. That'll teach 'em.

The Democrats' approach to terror is best summed up by a revealing remark hotshot Democrat Mark Green made on Hardball Tuesday night. He asserted Osama popped up on video days before the '04 elections to help Bush because "radicals profit when THEIR ENEMIES are in power." Whether he realized it or not, Green was driving my point home -- Democrats are binny's best friends. Thanks, hotshot.

The cut-'n'-run Democrats are in for a massive let down this November.

Anyway, that's... .

LOL! Here's the starter pic...A wee bit rounder bellies. I had to enlarge the size of the prior one to accommodate the raindrops. I could have resized the raindrops... made smaller... But in overlay image mode it was easier just to resize the pic. It's the Dims fault! (couldn't resist saying that!) LOL!

Okay, I see what you did with the pic now. :) They weren't actually that skinny in the original picture. When you resize something to work with it, can you resize it proportionately? (the width and height the same percentage amount larger?)

It's fun working with photos, isn't it!

I hate to nitpick but from my perspective I do not put the number of victims of terrorism on US soil since 9/11 at zero. The DC sniper case fallen and the single gunman who killed I think 2 at the LAX El Al counter I consider victims of terrorism. There may be some other case or cases that are slipping my mind too. The number is low of course in comparison to what happened on 9/11. Some here on FR also think the plane that crashsed right after takeoff from one of the NY airports some time after 9/11 might be terrorsism but explained away as some catastrophic mechanical thing.

correction....I don't think the LAX El Al counter gunman as a victim but the 2 he slayed.

Actually, I had to work on those Dim pictures/paragraphs to get it spaced just right - some of the paragraphs being too short for the pics, etc - so after lots of spacing between some of them, the line divider did seem to help.

I know what you're talking about, it's not easy to get the pictures and the text all balanced in the Post. Looks like you found a good method in dealing with it.
