    The terror plot arrests in London are a “stark reminder that this nation is at war with Islamic fascists,” President Bush says

    Yes, but they will be gone as well. What then?


    Carlyle, Bildeburg, Bechtel, Haliburton, et al, will never be gone.

    And I doubt if youll ever see this Republican administration removed from office without a civil war. The President may (will) change, but the song will remain the same. Anyhoo, I believe the Democrats would not be any different, and would be paralysed by fear mongering from the opposition. You know, weak on war and all that crap the uneducated, misinformed, TV loving masses always fall for.

    Wow, there are some very interesting opinions reflected on this board.

    Here's my take. There is probably a seed of truth here, but only time will tell what that seed actually is. The rest is spin, ment to scare people, using that darn "terror alert" system is the biggest bunch of bologna I'v ever heard.

    Its nice that we have a color coded system for how scared we should all be. Almost as good as when the head of the department of homeland security suggested we all purchase enough duct tape and plastic sheeting to cover our homes. Laughable, I tell you ;)

    Honestly, I believe that 40 years down the road, people will look back at this time in our history the same way many of us look at the cold war. All of the every day americans named "enemies of the state" because of supposed communist ties and the like. I wonder how many of those people were actually threatening?

    The proof is in the pudding. According to the press confrence, these folks had purchased the neccessary agents to create liquid bombs on board the planes. That brings the issue past a theoretical threat, and therefore should be proven, and tried by every day citizens in court. After the fact, we have a right to know exaclty what happened. If not, I will have to give more serious thought to how much of this is spin.

    Enough of my rambling. I'm having a code yellow. I'm only a little bit scared, but I do have to pee. ;)

    Fluid explosive materials: Hard to discover

    The planned bombs-attempts on airplanes in London should be committed according to British police with fluid explosive material. Experts distinguish in fluid explosive materials between such in powder form, that flow like sand and explosive materials that possess a water similar, fluid consistency. One of the best known fluid explosive materials is the nitroglycerine that is to be handled however very blow sensitive and therefore heavily. As alternative, connections are named again and again out of Azetonperoxiden, that can be solved in water and whose elements are available partly in building markets. Explosive materials solved in fluid can be tracked down according to expert only heavily by detectors. They can be smuggleed therefore more easily by the baggage inspection of airports - about in harmlessly looking shampoo bottles or drinks bottles. Experts are himself united that a security bordering at 100 percent could be obtained in the inspections only with enormous delays and costs at the airports, what would bring the international flight business for succumbing. Alone of the Londoners airport Heathrow indicated 67 million passengers in the previous year. Fluid explosive materials emerged already 1995 in the connection with a planned attempt. At that time the extremists organization wanted to burst el Kaida obviously with the help of fluid explosive material several US-airplanes into the air. The explosive material should be smuggleed by the airport of the Philippine capital Manila out of into the machines. The plans had failed however, when the dwelling of the presumed Attentäters Ramsi Jussef in fire geriet that 1997 was convicted for a first attack on the World Trade Center. "It sees so from, as would have the old plan of 1995 in London a Revival experiences", said terrorism-expert dock deer man.

    No offence but trying to smuggle nitroglycerine through an airport in a sealed container would make the most relaxed man sweat bullets...to carry that would require some serious guts....it would be easier to blow up the airport than actually get it on the plane....

    are you scared enough to vote republican yet?

    i have a question......they just reported that the "president" has known about this plot for weeks and has been briefed by the uk about this all of last week. soooooo............... why did he choose to go on vacation again???????????????????????? should we just assume that whenever this assclown goes to crawford that all hell is gonna break loose? i know if i was the president of the united states and i learned of an imminent attack involving airliners and bombs, i might put off my vacation. but im not as tough on terra as W. does anyone really believe this? what an embarrassment it will be when our grandchildren read about this time in history and we have to explain to them how we all fell for it. over and over and over and over and over and over again.

    Whatever floats your boat.....I think the sucking of personal freedoms (aka Patriot Act) are not needed.....perhaps listening to intelligence before 9/11 would have eliminated the current world problems....

    But even with increased security does that going to help. A guy with a shoe as a bomb made it on the plane.....

    by the way it´s all a suggestion for now ...i don´t like what can happen and i disslike this patriot act stuff bec. it´s elimating our freedom and by the way it won´t help ...only that we aren´t free anymore..

    we all know why 9/11 has happened but ok it would be a too long talking...
    and i think this new terror has nothing to do with 9/11....

    Another classic quote:

    "This country is safer than it was prior to 9-11," Bush said from the airport tarmac here where he was appearing at events focused on the economy. "We've taken a lot of measures to protect the American people but obviously we're not completely safe. ... It is a mistake to believe there is no threat to the United States of America."


    In other words, we have saved your lives countless times since 9/11, but don't think for a second you are safe.

    That is classic, hopping from vacation to a political fund raiser, in WI all with the safety and defense of our nation in the balance! And if they have known about this plot for weeks how do they not know yet who is behind it?

    With the November elections around the corner, I have heard a lot of people say in jest that its just a matter of time until the terror threat level is raised so that the Bush/Blair propaganda machine can remind people why the world is the way it is now (Iraq, Patriot Act, Oil prices etc..).

    And here we are in the mists of another "thwarted" attack. In my opinion, its so easy to declare victory over an invisible enemy and I am not buying it.


    The phraseology that Chertoff and others are throwing around is wild:

    "Unprecedented loss of life"

    "not on the planes yet, but..."

    The plot was "intended to be mass murder on an unimaginable scale,"

    Passengers "were not yet sitting on an airplane," but were very close to traveling, a senior U.S. counterterrorism official told The Associated Press

    "can't assume the threat is over..."

    plotters planned loss of life on "an unprecedented scale."

    The plan was reminiscent of a plot by 9/11 coordinator Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who in 1999 had envisioned detonating bombs on 11 airlines possibly traveling over the Pacific Ocean.

    The plot was "as sophisticated as any we have seen in recent years as far as terrorism is concerned," Chertoff said


    So is this the real thing or another spin of the propaganda machine? Or both?

    Oooh, I love leftwing conspiracy theories..

    These kooky leftwing conspiracy theorists don't take terrorism seriously. That's why their party is unfit to rule the country. That's why they won't ever win any national elections... unless they engage in some voter fraud tactics like voting twice, using dead people's names to vote, or even some simple vandalism like slashing tires. If all else fails, whine that the election was stolen..

    Hey, you guys remember the suicider bomber who was shot dead by plain clothes policemen in the Stockwell tube station here in London? You know, the guy with a winter coat on in spring who jumped over the barriers and ran into the train?

    Oh yeah, that's right- none of that was actually true except the part about him being shot dead by the police.

    Guess what? This is just another political bullshit story. There's the timing of it, but there's the more obvious factor of why in the hell would any terrorist bother to go through such trouble when there are so many easier targets? Any form of public transport is completely vulnerable, so why risk being arrested and having your "cell" blown for such a high risk attack? It just doesn't make any sense to me at all.
