Hat tip to Cox and Forkum for the cartoon. You can read their related commentary and links HERE.
Was this plot to be the suprise Iran has been hinting at? The timing would be about right. This was only a "dry run", to see if they could smuggle the bomb components past security. The real attack could have "lit up the sky" Aug. 22nd (or the night of Aug. 21st, actually), in keeping with the Iranian President's kooky prophecy.
Even if this was the plot, there could be others. And even if this one was foiled, it doesn't mean they have given up. In fact, this particular plot has been attempted before. If at first they don't succeed, they try, try again.
The first attack on the World Trade Center failed, but they kept trying. Will we provide them with another opportunity this time?
Then there is still the matter of the missing Egyptian "students":
What are they up to? Also, the arrests in Michigan:
All-American Terrorists: How Dearbornistan Boys Went From Football Field to Islamic Terror; TracFone Detonators & Passenger Lists
And these are just the things we've found out about. How many more Americans will have to die before enough people in our country realize we are at war, wether we want it or not, and we need to start acting like it? That is, if we want to actually survive? How long can we wait for the Democrats to get a clue?
...To give you a snapshot of today's Democratic Party, in 2004, pollster Scott Rasmussen asked likely voters if they believed America was generally a fair and decent country and whether they believed the world would be a better place if more countries were like America.
Republicans agreed that America is generally fair and decent, 83 percent to 7 percent. Eighty-one percent agreed that the world would be a better place if more countries were like the United States.
By contrast, Democrats were nearly split, with only 46 percent agreeing that America is generally a fair and decent country, and with 37 percent saying America is not a generally fair and decent country. Only 48 percent of Democrats said they thought that the world would be a better place if more countries were like the United States.
Democrats constantly complain that the nation has never been so divided, but consider that half of them think the statement that America is a good country is a divisive remark.
So remember: When you vote Democratic, you're saying NO to mindless patriotism. This country isn't so great!
The free world, which is rapidly boiling down to us and Israel, is under savage attack. Treason is rampant in the country. True, Democrats hate Bush, but they would hate anybody who fights the war on terrorism. It is a hostile world, and there is now a real question about the will of the American people to survive.
(bold emphasis mine) I'm afraid that last sentence is especially true. And it's that very question that emboldens the Islamic facists to attack us.
UPDATE 08-20-06:
I doubt the "suprise" has been cancelled. I don't think it was supposed to be the airplane attacks. Here are some links to my other posts related to this topic, the most recent first:

Something Winston Churchill observed over 100 years ago. He was 20 at the time. Islam was better known as Mohammedanism. The Victorian age.
“How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical
frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic
apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of
agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers
of the Prophet rule or live. A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement;
the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to
some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final
extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men. Individual
Moslems may show splendid qualities - but the influence of the religion paralyses the social
development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from
being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread
throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that
Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly
struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.”
-Sir Winston Churchill, from The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pages 248-50 (London: Longmans,
Green & Co., 1899)."
A brilliant and perceptive young man.The rest is history
Yup! We need leaders now who can be as honest and perceptive as he was...
