#4 The more nations they identify as targets the more thinly they will have to spread their resources - and the stronger will be the reaction against them. Let's hope Canada gets serious with these fanatics now.

#7 Fun? Wow! I've been antsy for a week that something was up. Much increased police presence of the roads. Particulary Monday during the TTC stike. More cops than cabs this week. Glad to know why finally.

Are you catching the CBC's muslim U of M professor "anaylst" blaming us all for the muslims hurt feelings? MSM may find that Torontonians are not going to swallow the "victims all" approach their taking. None of our muslims are "oppressed" or "disenfranchised".

#10 Time to grab an umbrella and head down to the local and listen to what the local LLL have to say. TO is a Liberal hornet's nest, I'm interested on the spin they put on one (while looking terrified as they excuse the "victims") I need to know whether this changes their ideas now we've been targeted or whether they're into dhimmitude along with the UK.

CBC just reported that the police will not say this is the work of an islamic fundamentalist group. CBC says we should consider this the work of "some nuts".

Time to turn off the TV, find a beer and see if CBC apoloists are winning.

Twill be a most interesting week, politically.

The Muslim groups are now approaching media to ensure they are not "hurt" and want a full open trial ("if there is one", they say) that must be clear and free of prejudice.

The hand-wringing begins. Need a beer to be able to puke something up in the next hours. I don't like the way the this spin is going.

#11 None of our muslims are "oppressed" or "disenfranchised".

But you wouldn't know it when you talk to some of them. I hear cries of racism all the time. The blame should be placed on the broken immigration system here.

#15 Does this mean Canada will listen to the US when we say we're concerned about their immigration policy?

#16 The logical connections to the United States are through Detroit and the Buffalo / Lackawanna area. I wonder if there is a relationship.

#18 They may have been the guys that our two Atlanta, Georgia, jihadis (now in custody) went up north to visit a while back.

#19 Bingo JBD, there is a Georgia connection.
Waiting for details.

Dennis Miller now says he knew about the busts "months ago" and he's not worried - we're targeted because we are who we are.

Ipso facto for socialist Dennis. Canadians are evil for sending troops anywhere. Run and hide say some. Ignore say others, the charges are a conspiracy.

#21 From this article:

A source who asked not to be named said information provided by U.S. officials played a part in the Canadian arrests. An FBI affidavit alleges Amercians Syed Haris Ahmed and Ehsanul Islam Sadequee, both from the Atlanta region, travelled to Toronto in March 2005, meeting with others of interest to U.S. authorities. The men supposedly discussed terrorist training and bomb plots against military facilities and oil refineries. FBI Special Agent Richard Kolko said today there are apparent links between the two American visitors and the police sweep in Canada. There is preliminary indication that some of the Canadian subjects may have had limited contact with the two people recently arrested from Georgia, Kolko said in a statement. As always, we will work with our international partners to review any intelligence gathered and will conduct any appropriate investigation.

Also:

Shareef Abdelhaleen is a 30-year-old unmarried computer programmer of Egyptian descent, Galati said. He emigrated from Egypt at the age of 10 with his father who is now an engineer on contract with Atomic Energy of Canada, the lawyer said.

Well done, Canada. There are assuredly more of these cockroaches hiding in the sewers - go get 'em!

#26 ALways keep in mind the Gorby-Yeltsin-Putin Doctrine, where Post-USSR Russia reserves its SSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHH, PRE-9-11 unilateral and unconditional right to use any means necessary, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO MILITARY FORCE, TO PROTECT THE LIVES OF RUSSIAN CITIZENS AND EMIGRES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, AND TO DO SO FOR ANY REASON(S) DEEMED TO BE IN RUSSIA'S INTEREST. UNO/OWG Peacekeeping = Invasion-Occupation Army, IN THE NAME OF PC "SELF-DEFENSE" and STATE-SPECIFIC
"NATIONAL INTEREST/POLICY". Victor(s) in War-Politics are the ones that write the Histoire', correct!? Unreliable errorful America = Fascist Warmongering Imperialist Amerikkka, etal > "Justifies" America=Amerika under OWG no matter the raeson(s) d'etre, correct!? POTUS GORE-HILLARY + DEMS > Surviving USGOP-caused/blamed "Amer Hiroshimas" = Diplom saving the USA = West = World from USGOP-caused/blamed nuke war, correct!? Radical Terror New 9-11's = pro-USDem anti-Bush/GOP decapitation = assassination strikes!?
