Fox's caption on the TV under "Fox News Alert" still said 20 less than a minute ago --

They are way too busy...

I wonder if this is related:

I no longer believe in coincidence.

That is very different from what we are getting here. Thaks

David Asman of FNC says at 1:15 a.m. Pacific that the plot is "not as many as we originally reported to you" (paraphrase) and has scaled the number of planes back from 20 to 6.

You can be assured that the citizens of Iran are not constantly terrorized like this.

"Five people have been arrested after anti-war protestors boarded a US military plane at Prestwick airport, according to press reports.

In the third breech of security at the Scottish airport in just four days, the campaign group Trident Ploughshares claimed that a group of its activists boarded a US Air National Guard plane at Prestwick in the early hours of this morning."

This from yesterday. Gives you confidence eh?

Doesn't it seem like the far-left steps up their Attacks when the Islamic Fascists do? They are truly in "lock-set".

[MIT-Elephant]

Have they released the names of the Protestant grammas involved in the plot?

[Dallas59]

They're still interrogating them..

Deputy Met Officer live on Radio "we have foiled a terrorist attack of mass murder of huge proportions". the exact word for Huge may be different but it means no less it might have been 'enormous' or 'unimaginable'.

He was very, very serious.

Memory loss, senior moment.

[The Red Zone]

Such as, "Who is this Jesus dude? Does he blow up airplanes?"

[The Red Zone]

Series and Hugh!

[vimto]

"Series and Hugh!"

Out in the UK - the reference is completely lost in translation (to me anyhow) - I guess it is something to do with senior moments? Or is it cockney rhyming slang?

[The Red Zone]

It is a freepism. Someone in the long distant past misspelled serious as "series" and huge as "hugh." It thence achieved immortal memehood.

[vimto]

Ah! this is a truly hugh plot. (gottit?)

Seriously though I am fed up with the liberal luvvie left who will be pouting tomorrow about their travel arrangements being cramped and their civil rights being disrupted. And then they will blame the government for 'hyping' it all up.

Phah!!!! and Phah again.

[The Red Zone]

A hugh inconvience!

Over the last few hours, British authorities have arrested a significant number of extremists engaged in a substantial plot to destroy multiple passenger aircraft flying from the United Kingdom to the United States.

If so - CONGRATULATIONS to our allied security forces!
