30 years ago, he could have said “ England is just going to have to get used to IRA bombings”

That graphic nearly causes me to blow my cork.

I know the guy didn’t take 09/11 into consideration, but what the hell is wrong with these people?

ANY CRIME THAT IS COMMITTED BY AN IMMIGRANT, IS A CRIME THAT DIDN’T HAVE TO HAPPEN.

JUST SAY NO!!!!!!

Khan's actual words (when interviewed in New York where he happened to be at the time of the Manhattan trash can bombs) were as follows:

"Part and parcel of living in a great global city is you’ve got to be prepared for these things, you’ve got to be vigilant, you’ve got to support the police doing an incredibly hard job...The terrorists are evolving their tactics and we have got to evolve our response to them all the time. I am afraid the consequences of a terror attack are very, very scary. They want to kill. They want to maim and terrify. It is my job to try to make sure that we are as safe as we can be.”

The omission of the subsequent sentences in the way his remarks are usually reported not only changes completely the sense of what he was saying, it's also a classic example of media spin. It's not just the liberal media who are adept at this.

Yep - echoes of Obama telling us we should be prepared to accept some wonton killings as a “part of life”....
