#1 First I've heard that Finnsbury Park was shut down. Dan your doing top grade work. A true warrrior. Iran is the new front on this war. But how to crack that nut is something else. Iranians are not fools like SA's and Tribal Pakis.

#3 Oho kafr! Dan is a moron? And you are, what? Oh, my bad, you're the eminent authority. I've forgotten all of those deep and insightful posted articles and comments. Please forgive me, I too, thought Dan was contributing - when all along he has been duping us. Dan! You're Evil!

NMM, you've saved us yet again! How can Rantburg ever repay you? The debt is so great.

#4 And we know .moron is an asshat-- who has been given a free ride on Rantburg by people afraid of his spuming personal attacks---while I've reread my comments--they are more thought out than his idiotic personal attacks

#5 Hey Moore, what's with you? You've got a personal insult for anyone who posts something you don't like? You destroy any point you try to make with your absurd junior high insults.

#6 Is this just me, or are today's comments much more tense than usual? What's the point of all that, btw? I shudder to think what will happen when Murat shows up...

#7 No - must be you. I always shudder when muRat shows up.

#8 Anon -- I posted a theory in a comment a little above this one. Yesterday's good economic news has the left frothing; trolling and picking fights online is one way they work out their anger.

#9 RC didn't believe it the first time I read it, but after reading thru todays posts I suspect you are dead on. We made need to get a net if the employment numbers are as good.

#11 NMM, I don't really see what me being a FReeper has to do with any of us this. The last I checked, anybody can post here at Rantburg, provided that it's in accordance with the posting guidelines ... even Murat. I really don't see what domestic political affiliations have to do with my ability to post news or provide analysis, so long as you take the latter into account when reading that analysis.

All I can say is, if you don't like my analysis, don't read it. Same goes with the news articles that I post, if you don't like them than either don't read them or post your own.

#12 Hey NMM last I checked you weren't paying for this website so you just so you could insult people, how bout YOU tone it down a few hundred notches hmm? Your personal attacks on several different threads today are getting tiresome.

#13 Watching the comment threads here and elsewhere, I see a lot of cognitive dissonance among people like NMM, who really, really, really would like all this "War on Terror" stuff to be about the warmongering militarists and their neocon ideology. How rude of you, Dan, to insist on assembling uncomfortable facts and reasonable chains of evidence that make the Islamacist threat so *vivid*.

I suspect that al-Q's rather high profile threats about imminent major attacks have the left really nervous, in part because such an attack would destroy the last vestiges of closed-eyes syndrome in a dramatic way. Dan's patient work is more gradual, but it too erodes comfortable illusions and seems to leave NMM and similar minded folk more than usually frothy about the mouth lately.

I truly hope a major attack does not happen, but most of us here know it's quite possible and even likely that one will be attempted. This holiday weekend is a target-rich environment in the States.
