The Amish Didn’t Do it After All

It was the English plotting terror in the sky.
British-born Asians that is…….

Not one Amish name among them. They all appear to be (gasp) MUSLIM.
And the Egyptians wandering around our country….taking bus trips, visiting Minnesota…which is understandable considering the original plan was for them to attend an academic program in Montana…… I can’t help but wonder what their true intentions are.
They don’t look much like the Amish either. Although number 11 sort of looks like Anthony Soprano Jr.
So yesterday we awoke safely while during the night some rough men were breaking in doors and stopping the Islamo Fascists from again attempting to kill us. The Islamic fascists are indeed among us. Here’s a good report from Opinion Journal……….
Americans went to work yesterday to news of another astonishing terror plot against U.S. airlines, only this time the response was grateful relief. British authorities had busted the “very sophisticated” plan “to commit mass murder” and arrested 20-plus British-Pakistani suspects. As we approach the fifth anniversary of 9/11 without another major attack on U.S. soil, now is the right moment to consider the policies that have protected us–and those in public life who have fought those policies nearly every step of the way.
It’s not as if the “Islamic fascists”–to borrow President Bush’s description yesterday–haven’t been trying to hit us. They took more than 50 lives last year in London with the “7/7″ subway bombings. There was the catastrophic attack in Madrid the year before that left nearly 200 dead. But there have also been successes. Some have been publicized, such as a foiled plot to poison Britain’s food supply with ricin. But undoubtedly many have not, because authorities don’t want to compromise sources and methods, or because the would-be terrorists have been captured or killed before they could carry out their plans.
In this case the diabolical scheme was to smuggle innocent-looking liquid explosive components and detonators onto planes. They could then be assembled onboard and exploded, perhaps over cities for maximum horror. Multiply the passenger load of a 747 by, say, 10 airliners, and this attack could have killed more people than 9/11. We don’t yet know how the plot was foiled, but surely part of the explanation was crack surveillance work by British authorities.

Yes we know, we heard the chatter with those illegal wiretaps our government has done that liberals don't like.

I stumbled across your blog while I was in the process of doing some online research. The most frightening thing about this plot is how the "terrorists" in this case are so ordinary looking, and the means they were planning to use were so ordinary as well.

Yes, they are recruiting Muslim converts now as the cell in Florida demonstrates. What is frightening is something my husband just said. I was drinking my coffee this morning as my husband was watching The Cost of Freedom on Fox News and they were discussing the Democrats constant calls to pull out of Iraq and their daily anti-Bush rants. One of the guys on the show noted that when they do that it encourages our enemies. My husband said, "as a nation we are losing the will to live."
