"Complex" plot of blow up UK airlines foiled

I read the latter book you mentioned, and it sucked horribly. I think he'd run out of ideas and/or just wanted a quick buck.

I fully agree. But hasn't he earned enough money to retire by now?

And even if his books are probably close to correct on technical issues, and have a great and clever imagination on intrigues, they suck horribly in some aspects. In his books, US never take lethal action based on bad intelligence, or kill innocents. In real life, that happens all the time. In that sense, I like Andy McNab better. In his books, the hero always f*cks up and then has to turn things right by himself.

Pakistan may have things to gain, it may be a pawn, who knows. It could all be a wonderfully completed intelligence operation with strong Pakistani assistance (which is somewhat of a rare thing it seems).

I'm just holding my congratulations on foiling a plot until these guys are demonstrated to have been in a real position to have carried out their supposed crime, and not some pipe dream that's been blown out of proportion.

I'm critical because the track record is really not good in this regard.

I still remember the so called "chemical warfare vest" from last time. It seems that the item has vanished into thin air...

So far they have arrested 24, but I haven't seen material evidence reported on the news. Nothing even remotely similar to a chem lab.

... there are days when a darker part of me wonders if America might not have been better off if the U.S. Capitol and/or White House had been blown apart on Sept. 11, 2001, rather than the World Trade Center.

I will flat out say that yes, America would have been better. An incident like that would have cleaned out nearly all of the ****e politicians in office today.

Small price to pay . i'd imagine that items like this will be allowed eventually , perhaps sold at the airport, but I make no bones about the fact that I dont give a **** either way.

i cannot imagine any other liquid you would need on a plane in a container like this.

I can't either. I'm frankly saying that this is a bizarre overreaction that is doing nothing but making them happy.

Perhaps not as happy as seeing planes blow up, but.

Hello there! I see you are discussing Thwart terrorists. Perhaps I can be of assistance.

Today is America's finest hour since 9-11 changed everything. To our allies, the British, I find your husky bodies to be a wondrous amusement park of neo-plastic pleasures and oncogenic delights. Liberals like Chemical Ollie need remind that when they sleep, islamofascists are combining embryonic stem cells with food stamps on Boeing jets because of their Muslim bred hatred of our freedom, guaranteed. Israel will not be secure under the Middle East is conquered, from Qatar to Tehran. Gay porn is removed, mimic Jerry Falwell. Ming might delete this post, but I'd sooner spit on the founding fathers than listen to one more of his Planned Parenthood propoganda speeches.

RoboCon isn't fun anymore.

[Kuciwalker]

That post definately jumped the shark. But RC is still fun.

[Q Classic]

Ming doesn't give Planned Parenthood propaganda speeches.

9/11 times a thousand!

9/11 * 1000 = 9000/11 = 818 2/11.

I wonder if these guys will get charged, or if the whole thing is found out to be a very dramatic misinformation campaign to divert attention and get people onside things like the Lebanon issue.

Anyone remember tanks at Heathrow when Gulf War II was about to kick off? Whatever happened to all those other intelligence claims that have been found to be misleading at best, and downright dishonest lies at worst.

I said to a work colleague yesterday, I wonder how long it is before the human rights lawyers get involved. Geez, Daulphin, you are so bigoted against the West.

[Lodi]

Q Cubed, you are right on, man.

But imagine how much worse it will be when the next 911 will happen. It can be anything from a bunch of Muslims running into schools with AKs, a string of truck bombings, suicide bombings, a nuke, or a string of dirty bombs. Probably in America, UK, or Israel. And probably in the timeframe before the November elections.

Imagine how the criminal bastards will chirp anew that the world has changed again. When it will obviously will not have changed.

I think that Robocon still is good at making poignant satire.
