Are these guys really such incompetent losers or are they all a diversion while the real Al Qaeda sleeper cell is rigging the nuclear bomb in downtown London?

Good question. I don’t have the answer, but it’s worth noting.

No problem, these cans were to be dropped off at local hospitals by Islamofascist MDs to reduce the waits for care under the UK National Health Plan.

HotAir blog is discussing the plot. Touching upon questions you asked earlier...sounds interesting. Thought you’d like.

Gordon Brown has banned ministers from using the word “Muslim” in ­connection with the ­terrorism crisis. The Prime Minister has also instructed his team – including new Home Secretary Jacqui Smith – that the phrase “war on ­terror” is to be dropped. The shake-up is part of a fresh attempt to improve community relations and avoid offending Muslims, adopting a more “consensual” tone than existed under Tony Blair.

This is insane.

How about improving community relations by quit bombing us?

We are going to be PC’ed to death.

Control the language, control the thoughts.

sigh......I think I’m done fuming now.
