The chairwoman of the Senate Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee, Republican Sen. Susan Collins of Maine, described the plot in a statement as ""extremely sophisticated and lethal" and "the biggest terrorist threat since the attacks of September 11, 2001

So we have 10 planes that were going to be blown up as they were flying to America. I guess Michael Moore was right. There is no terrorist threat. Katzcinski is right too. I am way too fearful of those mooooslims. I'm way to paranoid. Yep. All this is our fault. How dare we accuse a peace loving religion like Islam of anything remotely harmful to anyone. Hey, there are no Islamic facists. It's all a government plot. And my name is Buck Rogers and I'm rich and I fly the universe in my 1956 Thunderbird.

It will be interesting to see if al Qaeda was behind this...

And if so...

I'm not surprised by those quotes. The last thing you want to broadcast to the world is that you're staying up nights trying to find him and are worried. Leaders say a lot of things during war. There are a lof things said on purpose and for a reason. When did we find Hitler?

Also, it doesn't matter who is behind it. What matters is that it was stopped and how knows who knows how many lives were saved. That is what matters. Bin Laden is not the only nut job running around trying to murder innocent people. You do know that don't you?

The war in Iraq is going terribly, Bin Laden is still at large, and Israel and Lebanon are at war...
sounds like we need a distraction.

Don't take everything at face value. We certainly learned that from 9/11.

Yep. Sure as heck, the pussy "EverythingIsBush'sFault" crowd has already deemed this a failure on the part of the American President.

Way to go, geniuses!

The Iraq war is going terribly if you listen to the liberal media. The truth is it is going badly for the islamofacists. You never hear about the 75% of Iraq that is going well. As far as Bin Laden still being at large, when did we finally get Hitler?

Liberal media is a conservative lie. 90% of American media is owned by 5 corporations that are conservative, not liberal. If you compare our news to most of the free world you will find it is conservative by comparison. The Iraq war is not going well, the country is heavily divided (civil war). The 75% of Iraq that you refer to doesn't have much of a population to speak of.

Hitler has little to do with anything. Hitler probably died in a bunker with his lover. Bin Ladin is still at large and Bush has said he doesn't even care.

Hitler killed himself in a bunker, ergo we didn't pursue him.
As soon as bin Laden is also dead in a bunker, THEN we have no rationale to pursue him as an individual.

Until then? And more specifically if this airline plot IS actually linked to bin Laden, it would be crazy not to consider him as a concern and a target.

Katczinsky

First things first, I never said there was no terrorist threat. Don't put words in my mouth. In fact, if anything, I have been preaching that there is more of a terrorist threat because of this administration's reckless policies, and more of a danger because we haven't undergone necessary precautions at ports.

But I was hearing it was from a Pakistan group...probably an attempted retaliation to that bombing of the house the US did in Pakistan only killing innocents.
