A plot to blow up planes in flight from the UK to the US and commit "mass murder on an unimaginable scale" has been disrupted, Scotland Yard has said. It is thought the plan was to detonate explosive devices smuggled in hand luggage on to as many as 10 aircraft. - Snip
Poster Comment: The "plot" was that they would carry liquids aboard, mix them in flight, then detonate them. Joe Lieberman, where are you when we need you???

Doesn't sound like much of a plot, if you ask me.
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain
It smells to me. I read small note on this subject that all people were "homegrown" Brits. Somehow I do not think the bad guys would trust such aa affair to "foreigners".
But Tony the poodle is protecting Britain! "If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers From Reuters: WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. government raised the security alert on passenger planes to its highest level for the first time on Thursday after Britain said it had foiled a plot to blow up flights to the United States. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said it was taking an unprecedented step by raising the threat level for commercial flights originating in the United Kingdom to "severe," or red. The threat level for all other commercial aircraft operating in or destined for the United States would be raised to "high," or orange, from "elevated," or yellow, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said in a statement. The threat level for the country as a whole remained at yellow, according to the department's Web site. Homeland Security took immediate steps that included barring passengers from carrying liquids, including beverages, hair gels and lotions, on planes. It said travelers in both countries should expect long delays. (emphasis added) A British police source said the plot was believed to involve a "liquid chemical" device. "Over the last few hours, British authorities have arrested a significant number of extremists engaged in a substantial plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States," the statement released by the DHS press office said. HAHAHA.. I suppose mixing some Suave conditioner with Jergens lotion and Dasani could make one helluva weapon.. Wonder what they planned on setting this concoction off with - Crest toothpaste? HAHAHAHA

Surgeon General's Warning: Society's problems must be solved. We have the solutions and you must buy them from us. No unauthorized solutions will be permitted. OK, Joe Lieberman loses on Tuesday, and the "terrorists" are going to blow us up on Thursday. Sure....
hehehehehehe.....hohohohohohohho.....hahahahahahaha..... ALERT, ALERT, ALERT...Gov. Romney, R, MA, to activate the national guard at Logan airport Buzz....Buzz....the BUSH to speak to the nation at 1PM, EST..... Chertoff, the evil one, calls the "plot" advanced 20 times in a press conference..... Be afraid, very afraid......
Thank G-d no Jews were targeted on this lastest Jihad on Jewish supremacy...but should distract us away from Hizzbollah mopping the floor with the IDF.
Go Hiz....
What ever happened with that group of saps they arrested as terrorists in Miami? Richard W.
No doubt that 20 of the 21 people involved were government agents. If it wouldn't have been for the 'odd man out', they'd have probably pulled it off. Whatever, it worked. It's got the goob- nutters screeching to nuke the muzzies.
What ever happened with that group of saps they arrested as terrorists in Miami? Yeah, and what about that other group of saps they recently arrested in Canada?
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers I'm very suspicious about this whole "gel bomber" affair. Apparently nothing was set to happen today (i.e., they didn't catch anyone trying to get on a plane with bombs, etc). So why the big side show? Why TODAY? Why stopping all the air traffic the way they have? Maybe there was some kind of plot, but I think the real intent here is to cause panic among the masses to justify the Bush/Blair War on Terror. I'm just sick of this hysteria they're always trying to generate.
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
They all went back to their gov't jobs. FBI, CIA, DHS, TSA, etc.
Actually, as I understand it, that Miami group was literally too dumb to even work for TSA. Richard W.
or they were transferred to al-CIAda.
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers It sounds like they're raising the threat level to see if will help Pubbies in the polls.
IMHO, this is a counter to the Lieberman loss. Raw politics by the War party. Nothing more.
Is that possible??????
That's my take too. Punishment for kicking out the poor jew. We're all being Gibsoned now.
Nothing's gone down as of late in the 'West' and as to keep the hate agenda on the back burner warm, a little psy-op has to take place. Plus we don't know what the PTB have line up in the near future so as to point the finger at Muslims. Thing is , what would carrying out such an attack achieve anyway? How would it benefit anybody's cause? What would the perp hope to achieve? Would it make western governments and their policies change? No. The people there to cower in fear? No. The people to be angry against Muslims? Yes.(and to believe via the TV that they're bloodthirsty, unreasoning maniacs, hellbent on murdering people and themselves) To make future attacks on Iran/Syria easier on the senses and slide into place? Yes. To subtley tune into 911 via the aeroplane conection? Yes. (great timing there again with those recent movies BTW!) George Orwell spelled it all out in 1984, simple as that. (Not forgetting of course that this diverts (most) people's and the media's attention away from the murder going down in Lebanon.)
It's pretty rare. I think that is why the story just disappeared after the initial arm waving "Terror!" headlines. The guys were just too dumb to be taken seriously. Can't have DHS being laughed at after making such a good catch. Ha! Richard W.
You said it. This stinks to high heaven. The present moment would be probably the worst time a shahid could pick to drop a 777 into the drink. Sure. Take down an airliner. Rouse all Sheepdom. Foment an orgy of anti-Muslim vengeance. It'd be staggeringly stupid. How do I get off this ride??
Let me know when and if you find out!
Don't worry, The Rapture is going to happen any second now!
Terror Plot Has Marks of Al-Qaeda, Chertoff Says http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aA_XojnOF2K8&refer=home
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers When it happens, does that mean I don't have to listen to all these insufferable pricks any more??
Hmmm, and they really, really tried not to say Al Qaeda this time...government folks just go with the pap when pressed for an answer.
A more interesting side query to that comment is how the hell did Hezbollah all of the sudden come up with what to all outside appearances seems to be the best fighting force fielded by Islamics since Saladin? Typically, Islamic forces (somewhat excepting mountain people in Chechnya and Afghanistan) have always displayed indifference to anything resembling logical strategic and tactical doctrine when engaging western forces (If you want to see the most ridiculous example of this there is some after action reporting by the Pakistani military on their second war with India that reads like a comedy from a military doctrine standpoint. So and so displeased Allah by partaking in spirits and women and was therefore defeated etc...). More often than not, local victory was won through incompetence of the opposition, or the propensity of the Islamic side to perservere without thought to the cost in materials or bodies. All of the sudden you have a force of several brigades size that is innovative, doesn't waste lives, and knows how to put limited resources to maximum use. They particularly appear to show an enhanced ability to operate with a high level of initiative and autonomy in small units. The politics of the conflict aside, I've always thought that constant low grade warfare without conclusion (which I believe is fostered by international finacial interests) was a very poor long term strategy for the western world because it exposes the opposition to exist under high intensity, long term, selective pressure that makes them better. We are probably seeing the results of this here. The downside is that it is going to put pressure on the Israelis and the US to conclude conflicts with much greater levels of destruction and to definitely poke and prod Iran into doing something that allows us to pound them hard without suffering from public backlash...
"To wield onself -- to use oneself as a tool in one's own hand -- and so to make or break that which no one else can build or ruin -- THAT is the greatest pleasure known to man! To one who has felt the chisel in his hand and set free the angel prisoned in the marble block, or to one who has felt sword in hand and set homeless the soul that a moment before lived in the body of his mortal enemy -- to those both come alike the taste of that rare food spread only for demons or for gods." -- Gordon R. Dickson, "Soldier Ask Not"
No, the way I understand it, you sit around naked with them watching TeeVee for all eternity. Pretty sweet, huh?
You just ruined my breakfast.
"If there’s another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country." - Daniel Ellsberg Author, Pentagon Papers umm, having just seen the film V for Vendetta i have serious doubts about how true this alert really is and even if it was real i'm deeply suspicious about how it is used as propaganda :( even BBC Radio 4 News (who are given quite abit of respect for not following government lines) openly asked an MP to comment on why people no longer believe the officials - specially after the "accidental" killing on the underground and the bungled raid when a man was shot but nothing terrorist was found (they are prosecuting him for paedophilic pornography they "found" on his computer). the sad thing for me is that if the people lose confidence in their government and its officials' sincerity, this can only end in tears - another "incident" (real or orchestrated) where innocent civilians are killed and injured. we are truly in the hands of thieves and fools :(
love ruthie This side of the pond too.

The timing of this "gel bomber" alert (my attempt to name this incident) makes one wonder as nothing actually happened, and it appears they caught these people before anything happened. So the logical question is: why the dog and pony show and why NOW?
"I woke up in the CRAZY HOUSE."
Nothing much that I've heard lately. I think even the goobs figured out they were saps. ;0)
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain
That figures. When all else fails, drag out the Q-factor.
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain
This is exactly what caused the Israelis to withdraw from Lebanon in 2000 after 18 years of occupation.
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain
HezBump.
I'll raise you two knaves. ;0)
"Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself." Mark Twain
It's a pretty good sample of the level of fighting with an Iranian ground war, for their training and the determination of Hizzbollah. The $250M war games a few years ago had to be repeatedly rigged in order for the US Navy to win battle scenarios.
