847404	2010-01-10 01:06:00	Not long after the Ayatollah Khomeini announced his fatwa against Salman Rushdie, the British novelist suddenly turned up on a Muslim radio station in West London late one night and told his interviewer he'd converted to Islam . Marvelous religion, couldn't be happier, Allahu Akbar and all that . And the Ayatollah said hey, that's terrific news, glad to hear it . But we're still gonna kill you . Well, even a leftie novelist wises up under those circumstances . Evidently, the president of the United States takes a little longer . Barack Obama has spent the past year doing big-time Islamoschmoozing, from his announcement of Gitmo's closure and his investigation of Bush officials, to his bow before the Saudi king and a speech in Cairo to "the Muslim world" with far too many rhetorical concessions and equivocations . And at the end of it the jihad sent America a thank-you note by way of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab's underwear: Hey, thanks for all the outreach! But we're still gonna kill you . According to one poll, 58 percent of Americans are in favor of waterboarding young Umar Farouk . Well, you should have thought about that before you made a community organizer president of the world's superpower . The election of Barack Obama was a fundamentally unserious act by the U . S . electorate, and you can't blame the world's mischief-makers, from Putin to Ahmadinejad to the many Gitmo recidivists now running around Yemen, from drawing the correct conclusion . It's kinda refreshing to hear things that youse guys say as going mainstream here in the US . Strangely, the nouveau-released Yemi ex-terrorist guys have not thought highly of their social restructuring into corrected ways on PC non-combativeness . They were, after all - graduates of the US Marine Corps Still Life Oil Painting Classes in Gitmo and yet, somehow they forgot all that and repatriated themselves with al-Qaida and went right out and bought exploding underwear . For two weeks, the government of the United States has made itself a global laughingstock . Don't worry, "the system worked," said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Incompetano . Don't worry, he was an "isolated extremist," said the president . Don't worry, we're banning bathroom breaks for the last hour of the flight, said the TSA . Don't worry, "U . S . border security officials" told the Los Angeles Times, we knew he was on the plane, and we "had decided to question him when he landed . " Don't worry, Obama's counterterrorism chief, John Brennan, assured the Sunday talk shows, sure, we read him his rights, and he's lawyered up but he'll soon see that "there is advantage to talking to us in terms of plea agreements . " Oh, that's grand . Try to kill hundreds of people in an act of war, and it's the starting point for a plea deal . In his Cairo speech, the president bragged that the United States would "punish" those in America who would "deny" the "right of women and girls to wear the hijab . " If he's so keen on it, maybe he should consider putting the entire federal government into full-body burkas and zipping up the eye slit so that, henceforth, every public utterance by John Brennan will be entirely inaudible . Americans should be ashamed by this all-fools' fortnight . On Thursday, having renounced over the preceding days "the system worked," the "isolated extremist," the more obviously risible TSA responses, the Gitmo-Yemen express checkout and various other follies, the president finally spoke the words: "We are at war . " As National Review's Rich Lowry noted, they were more or less dragged from the presidential gullet by Dick Cheney, who'd accused the commander in chief of failing to grasp this basic point . Again, to be fair, it isn't just Obama . Last November, the electorate voted, in effect, to repudiate the previous eight years and seemed genuinely under the delusion that wars end when one side decides it's all a bit of a bore, and they'd rather the government spend the next eight years doing to health care and the economy what they were previously doing to jihadist camps in Waziristan . On the other hand, if we are now at war, as Obama belatedly concedes, against whom are we warring? "We are at war against al-Qaida," says the president . That's a rich one! Again - please don't shoot the messenger .	SurferJoe46 (51)

847407	2010-01-10 05:45:00	What I find amusing about the whole thing is that this terrorist is doing this under the belief that he'll become a martyr in heaven, and will win himself a dozen or so virgins... and instead he burns his wedding tackle with a fizzling bomb perilously secured (in all places) against the family jewels. However, if they persist in trying, they will eventually succeed. Whats to stop him smuggling the explosives internally, and retrieving them mid flight - well before that final hour of flight?

847409	2010-01-10 14:13:00	Got to solve the problem that causes them to do this instead of positioning the ambo at the bottom of the cliff. The problem imo is the occupation of Palestine,Iraq and Afghanistan. Theft of Palestine from whom, by who. It historically belongs to Hebrews, who are also Palestinians, and was stolen from them by the Romans and so on and so on. Maoris have got SOME of their land back and not every body is happy about it. The Hebrews have SOME of theirs. Some other extremely violent, religious sects, aren’t very happy about it. This garbo was running long before the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan. The problem is that a group of men want: All women on the planet, to walk around in public with everything except their eyes fingers and toes covered with non transparent clothing. In some regions they will allow the mouth nose and chin to be uncovered also. They want also, the entire population of the planet to conform to Shari law, and pray facing to Mecca 5 times a day. Trying to cloud the issue by blaming the Hebrews dont fly. You have to modify on of the core tennents of Millitant Islam: Once land has been occupied by a Muslim it is Muslim land for all time. Otherwise once the get palestine judea and sumeria, they will want: Spain, Sicily, Sardinia, Crete, all of Cyprus ect ect ect. == "Organised religon is poison to the people" Chairman Mao. Probably the greates trueism in recorded history and what is at the bottom of this cat fight. Add to that the fact that the worlds populaion has more than trippled sine 1945 and the vast majority of that growth has been in: Asia, Africa, and South America. The west isnt any richer than it ever has been, there is just a lot les to go round in Asia because of uncontrolled and unsustainable population growth. PS. you are aware that most of Turkey, all of Iran, and Palestine are part of Aisa???	angry (15305)
