#32  people of London keep voting for this moonbat

London's population is 31% foreign born and 38% of all the UK muslims (600,000) live there.

I don't do conspiracy theories. This explains why they bad guys couldn't get in the front door of the place. This also could explain why all the bombings are fizzling out. The bad guys are heavily infiltrated. Expect large arrests of the bad guys now about to be pointed out by the infiltrators.

#30  Helmuth, US anticipated the attacks and warned about them. No need to give it a conspiracy theory flavor.

#29  US Knew of today's Glascow attack, two weeks ago.

A US official told ABCNews.com that the intelligence reports led to the assignment of Federal Air Marshals to flights into and out of both Glasgow and Prague.

Air marshals had been added to flights into and out of Germany late last month, based on similar warnings.

#28  Thank God! "Red" Ken has assured me that my suspicion of Muslims is completely unfounded.

Whatta moron. Its the fact that the people of London keep voting for this moonbat that prevents me from feeling good about Englands chances of survival.

#27  Also possible these are just feints. Enough of them and response-teams get tired and confused.

Too right, Pappy. Thimk: Flying Imams.

#26  It is also possible that many of the smart jihadis are now dead.

#25  What are the chances of 3 consecutive attacks all being duds?

Possible. There is a chance that the masterminds have been killed off or rendered useless, and we're seeing the second string.

Also possible these are just feints. Enough of them and response-teams get tired and confused. That's already happened.

#24  Oh well, the link doesn't work so here is the reassuring message by London's Mayor after the bombing by Muslims...

"In this city, Muslims are more likely to be law-abiding than non-Muslims and less likely to support the use of violence to achieve political ends than non-Muslims," he told BBC Radio.

You know your town is in trouble when your mayor is more than in just a little bit of denial. Better get that scotch and gin flowing mayor, it's going to be a long week I bet for you, an official Islamic apologist.

#23  In a materialistic society, people would be less likely to look crossways at a Muslim

Forgive me, Mike N., but perhaps this needs to change.

#21  I thought I had read somewhere that the first car found was stolen.

#20  Not if they're likining this to "the Troubles."

We all should be so lucky.

"It makes sense to me. In a materialistic society, people would be less likely to look crossways at a Muslim if he's in a nice car. "

Haven't heard yet if the cars belong to the terrs or are stolen. Seems to me stolen would work nicely, as long as the time between boosting and blasting wasn't too great, given Britian's ring of steel camera set up

#18  Indeed. Let's hope so.

#17  The Brits will remain alert for a week.

Let's all hope so.

p.s. Zen, 7/7/7 is just a week away. The Brits will remain alert for a week.

#13  Gr0mgoru, pretty good chances. But that does not mean there aren't more coming and that they would be duds too.

Quoth Old Bill, "Therein lies the rub." Don't expect your foe to make a bad move.

#12  Gr0mgoru, pretty good chances. But that does not mean there aren't more coming and that they would be duds too.

What I see is probing of defences (using more stupid expendable jihadi rookies) as well as possible smokescreens. The D date is 7/7/07.

#11  Ya'know, if muzzies continue as they are doing, they may finally get that backlash, so far mythical, they invoke at every opportunity.

As you say, TW, people are starting to see a pattern that they were unwilling to acknowledge before.

Blazing jeep rams into Glasgow Airport

Now, what bothers me is the following.
What are the chances of 3 consecutive attacks all being duds?

#9  Article up now. Final graf compares to that Algerian picked up at the Canadian border in 1999 who intended to blow up Los Angeles airport. In their report FoxNews compared this attack to the Egyptian who tried to shoot up the El Al check in counter, and was killed by armed Israeli staff. At the time it was claimed he was insane. Now Fox at least is all but saying jihadi.

#7  doc - that is a disturbing link. Olberman should have stayed with sports where his wit and humor could do no damage 1and who the &uck is LJ? What a maroon. Do they need an attack to land on their head before they take it seriously?

#6  Dare they now link all three attacks to Islamic terrorism? Oh, the suspense!

#5  "Glasgow Airport Attack Linked to Attempted London Bombings"

Well, duh! Ya' think?

Nothing gets by these geniuses, does it?

#4  Quick, someone call Larry Johnson to confirm this isn't terrorism.

#1  Yes, I can sense some kind of underlying pattern to these attacks, some common element... They all involved vehicles, that's it.
