Quick — better require that every UK woman dress like a Muslim when swimming in public!

Maybe they'll leave UK alone.

Lucky for us that the 9-11 commission figured out how to respond to these threats and coordinate their activities and adjust their aerilons and modify their procedures and elevate their priorities and tell it all to O’bama so’s we be safe.

I think Obama is the reason why America isn’t (apparently) regarded as AQ’s Enemy #1 at the moment.

After all he’s a coreligionist.

Can the Brits be ‘blasted’ into reality? Tradgedy that such should be necessary for hope to even exist. The initiative is with Islam and all the competing Islamic jihadists competing for the big prize.

The UK and EU bend over backwards for Islam..

They're a bigger target because they are an easier target.

Well I guess AQ didn’t like the response they got from the last successful attack on U.S. Need easier targets, looks like Europe and Britain are going to get a doozie. Especially since they LOVE their Islamofascist imports.

Step back and remember the last warning of increased chatter occurred before the Mumbai attacks, but we thought the attacks were going to happen stateside.

With that in mind, I’m placing my bets elsewhere.

Classic “Bait and switch”.

I also pray that I’m wrong, but this would still fall into VP Biden’s window of prophetic vision about testing osama’s admin!

TRANSLATION

...in an internet magazine read by thousands of cowardly lunatic freaks, Al-Qaeda has admitted that launching an attack on the United States has become too difficult due to effective security programs instituted by ex-President Bush, so they will concentrate on Britain and Europe where the chances of a successful strike are higher.

I don’t believe it for a moment.

After all, Comrade Zero told us there is no war on terror. Jihidis don’t exist.

“Obama will make sure that changes”

BO will make America an easier target but he’s suckin up to the terrorists so far.

Britian is a bigger enemy because they are an easier target.

I'm not for a lot of British people getting killed but maybe if they got hit really hard the shock and awe would wake them dumb bastards up over there. They kiss Islam's backside and still get hit??? What's up with that except to say they want us all dead not just giving in to them.

What’s astounding about it? Muslims want to kill non-muslims. Let me know when you have some real news.

Check out a few other stories about Muslims in the US, and you won’t be limiting your comments to the British.

It would be interesting to see what the response of the Brits would be if they actually would carry out these horrific attacks. The Brit intelligentsia is smug and self assured in their arrogance. They would blame themselves or perhaps George W. Bush. But at some point perhaps their instinct for survival would kick in. I’m skeptical. There isn’t much testosterone left in the UK. There isn’t much pride in their civilization despite their enormous contributions. I wish them luck.

Keep in mind that these “homegrown” Brits can fly directly to the US with out any visa screening requirements. All they need is valid passport and an airline ticket.

They had best hurry as demographics suggests that Europe will be majority muslim in a few years. Once again these Islamic nuts target their own people.

Not surprising considering obama has surrendered.

More:

And here's the point I want to make. Mark my words. Mark my words. ............... And he's gonna need help. And the kind of help he's gonna need is, he's gonna need you, not financially to help him, we're gonna need you to use your influence, your influence within the community, to stand with him. Because it's not gonna be apparent initially, it's not gonna be apparent that we're right. Because all these decisions, all these decisions, once they're made if they work, then they weren't viewed as a crisis.

So what will obama do if we are attacked? What actions will he take? I doubt seriously he will meet brute force with a mighty sword. Biden's remarks here.

I didn't mean it for the British only. France and the Netherlands are also in deep doodoo. And here come the American Liberals, blindly following in their footsteps. Wake up people before the bombing starts here.
