If you take terrorism so seriously, how about this- stop supporting Israel unconditionally. That would be a fantastic first step in the "war" on terror.<a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/jmgphotos/sets/72157600802942672/">My Pearl Jam Photos</a>

I am sure rejecting voters at the poll because you can tell who they would vote for (based on the color of their skin) doesn't qualify as voter fraud? I guess having a conservative based Supreme Court end all one by one counts in a close election, then having them rule in your favor doesn't qualify as voter fraud. That's pretty fucking pathetic0 -
soon, we'll all just be herded, naked and shivering onto the damn planes, no luggage allowed.Teamwork. Rawk. Pwnage. Infinite Possibilities. YIELD. Hells yeah.0

NY Times:
Senator Joseph I. Lieberman seized on the terror arrests in Britain today to attack his Democratic rival, Ned Lamont, saying that Mr. Lamont’s goals for ending the war in Iraq would constitute a “victory” for the extremists who are accused of plotting to blow up airliners traveling between Britain and the United States.
“If we just pick up like Ned Lamont wants us to do, get out by a date certain, it will be taken as a tremendous victory by the same people who wanted to blow up these planes in this plot hatched in England,” Mr. Lieberman said at a campaign event at lunchtime in Waterbury, Conn. “It will strengthen them and they will strike again.”0 -

Which makes no sense considering this and how many other attacks have occured during the Iraq war?
Which to me sounds like they are being strengthed as we speak.
Keep on trucking in Iraq and you will keep breeding the hate....funny how it takes some people forever to realize that.....0 -

Pretty much...my point being that it is such a highly volatile substance you wouldn't be able to make it to your "target" of choice before it blew.....it would take a highly graceful fellow or madame to do....more or less carry it in a carry on bag where it would bang around....
None taken...:)0 -

I follow a blog by John Marshall and I like one of the points he made:
*"Also a pretty stark reminder that President Bush's War on Terror, the way he's chosen to fight it, is at best irrelevant to combatting this sort of danger. These are homegrown Brits apparently trying to blow up planes over the Atlantic. Good thing we've got a 150,000 or so troops in Iraq to take the fight to them."The less you know, the more you believe.0 -
What sickens me is that even if the next attack succeeds, you'll still be sitting here saying "I ain't buying it".0

hey just a small notice i just look on the side of our airport and it´s intresting that three flights to amsterdam are canceled but maybe it´s nothing ...who knows...0

i'm lost as to why some on here think its for political gain to make up bomb threats and terror threats of this magnitude... it's the terror threat hanging over us that is swaying my decision to vote for Blair again... i dont think if we were in Iraq or Afghanistan that we would be a target for these religious retards.... so what political gain do they actually achieve by making people decide NOT to vote for them in the future
this was a real threat... to think otherwise is ostrich behaviour
p.s. nobody commented on my plans for my own Gheehad... i mean death by clarified butter... what a way to go.....oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.0 -
