Yes. The start of World Cup and a nice sequence of numbers that appeal to the jihadists. Couple this bust with the missing chem suicide belt in London and the new week has the ingredients to be interesting. I also fall into the camp that the Saudis who boarded the Florida bus were executing a dry run.
As I stated elsewhere, I'd feel better if the Yanks would stage a couple of raids this weekend.
I cannot agree with you more on the Florida schoolbus thing. Sadly, this country's leaders can't get a grip on reality and those investigating that bought into their line of BS about wanting to take English classes. Since when have Arabs or even Mexicans been that eager to learn English that they try to board a clearly marked schoolbus with a bunch of children "thinking that it's going somewhere where they can learn English." As if there aren't a thousand things that somebody that isn't mental would do first otherwise to learn English. Oy!
Sadly, it's gonna be another heartwrenching episode such as Beslan where a community's children are blown to bits, tortured, shot, or otherwise killed or maimed. But hey, our leaders don't give a crap as long as they can get reelected and entrench themselves further into power. God forbid however if one of their kids were involved. One senator's kid is probably worth a thousand of other parents' kids in their mind, eh.
As to the World Cup, the pattern has been not to disrupt major events in the normal "bread and circus" routine of the world lest they actually turn the entire world against them. I.e., it's just as high profile, but too disruptive of the "most important things in peoples' lives," namely entertainment. /s
We'll see though. Muslims seem to be feeling their oats under the notion that the mystical (and farcical) 12th Imam is gonna come and liberate them. Naturally liberation for muslims entails the requisite suppression of freedoms of everyone else in the world that isn't muslim. Another wonderful benefit of the "religion of peace."
