Terrorist plots that were foiled by raids in recent months included a plan to kill President Bush at the G8 summit in Genoa using aircraft

I'm just waiting for that idiot Safire to start claiming this threat is a lie too.

"I'm just waiting for that idiot Safire to start claiming this threat is a lie too."

I expect that there are some still undetected cells out there that continue to have this as their mission.

I posted this on September 16.

The intel community is being blammed for major errors. Let me present a hypothetical scenario. What if there were 30 planned attacks and only 3 were successful. Perhaps the intel community was 90% successful. Not a bad record considering that the Clinton administration seriously weakend its capabilities. Just a thought. It may be decades before we know.

Hug a spook, today.

If any good came out of 9-11, it is that European security services suddenly believed in the reality of the incredible plots they had seen unfolding.

Put all of these monsters into solitary, do NOT let them gather in special blocks to sing songs and pray together, IRA or Sendero Luminoso style.

Bury them alive in underground cell blocks, no allah's paradise, no 72 virgins.

What do you think, is their cell structure and opsec going to hold up and allow a large % of them to remain undetected, or do you think that these moron monsters were bragging to each other at the mosques about their training, targets, and cell members?

Will the Euros get enough to smash all of the main plots?

I wonder what kind of anti-arab moslem reaction there will be in Britain and France after this?

If a substantial sample of the plotters is nabbed, it shouldn't take too long to winkle the truth out of them.;^)

I suspect there are more than a few of these vermin in a world of hurt right now!

And singing like canaries.

It is now clear that anti-aircraft batteries set up in Genoa were not an overreaction to the threat posed by anarchist protesters, as critics had claimed at the time.

If I recall at the time ..there was an article mentioning that the police took a (so-called) homemade grenade launcher from these anarchist protesters ...

The reason for me mentioning this .. Aren't these the same protesters that are supposed to show up in DC this weekend ????

And if so .. they best beef up security this weekend .. sh!t .. this give me a bad feeling

I am sure they will sing, the question is how well will their cell compartmentalization hold up? If they kept good opsec discipline, then the police may miss a big % of them. If they chatted and bragged to non-cell members in the mosques, the cops will get most of them.

(The best method of getting these guys to talk is just to show them plane tickets back to Saudi Arabia, where "traditional arab interrogation methods" will be used on them.)

The French hate the influx of Arabs and fear their "Algerians" because of their own intimate history. If this war reaches WWIII status because of serial mass murders, PC won't stand a chance.

A French Archbishop made famous, 'Kill them all. God knows his own.', 'tho' I think that pertained to the Normans. Any more WTC body counts and the civilised nations of Europe will get medieval.

The Islamic communities had better decide whether they are citizens or killers - no in between now. With some 10,000 terrorist organizations, we are going to be busy defending ourselves, to the death.

These monsters are after the Pope too. I pray he will stay closer to the Vatican. Should they murder the Pope, they will get a holy war like no other.

OK, so they are being rounded up. My question is: what will be done with them? I know what I would like to see done with them, but it ain't gonna happen.

I'm not sure .....I'm still trying to figure out if the cells are styled in the Brigata Rosa, Shining Path, Bader Mienhof format or Louis Beams leaderless resistance fashion.......

Albeit they are very close in the operating style I sense they "are" different and thus must be organized so that one doesn't know the other and "if" one or two individual "cell" members talked it would do no damage to the other cells per se.

I'm of the opinion based on the above reasoning that these SOB's are as such still capable of biting us in the @ss as long as we are reactive in nature versus proactive........aka hindered by the very constitutional laws that protect the rest of us.

I have no clue as to how to approach this but think the idea that Pakistan is our buddy and friend is whitewash BS . GW's cutting off the banks of Tango's and supporters is a start but in this fast food society we Americans live in our attention span demands a quick , hard , loud and very visable strike against the animals behind the 9-11 attacks .

I will predict this now , Pakistan will "fall" to the Taliban as the Pak goobermint is behind us yet they don't want to break off relations with the Towel heads. The embassy attack is proof that the Paks are fence sitting and that hesitation to act against the Taliban is gonna be their downfall.

Of course that's just my SWAG/Opinion........Stay Safe

We can, and IMHO will, force any such attempted coup to back off.

This is a freebie for the military guy running Pakistan today. He gets the firepower to WIPE-OUT the Taliban in his Country, and that means killing a lot of Paki's that we don't have to!

In return, we get a staging area that we will build to our specs, use as we like, and someday, give to this guy. He, and Pakistan, get some great facilities, and get rid of a troublesome bunch of pricks.

Sounds like a plan to me....FRegards
