Well well well, so you want to try it on here Abdul, do you? You have a bad habit of picking on the wrong people. First you pick on the Americans, who are armed to the teeth. Now you want to try it on with us, do you? Have you ever attended one of our footie matches? Have you seen the hordes of England fans in the streets of Berlin, tearing the heads off of random Germans? Did you ever see photographs of some of the rough streets of Manchester? We can be just as nasty, stubborn, difficult and angry as the Americans, you fools. And we will come for YOU.

Kudos to the Swedish police.

Could use the king of ping on this one, my friend. ;)

God Bless you and your countrymen, Mad Ivan. I pray that you never have to go through such an atrocity, but it sounds as though you are ready! LOVE that attitude!

Good to hear from you Ivan. I remember riding the trains in Scotland on Saturdays when they put on the old trains because of the football fans and their antics. Yes, you boys also know how to kick some ass. I hope you stomp every one of these towel heads that gets out of line.

A ping to you too.

The unnamed man told Swedish police he was on his way to a Islamic conference in Birmingham.

But a spokesman for the Da'wah conference, Yusuf Bowers, said today he was not aware of anyone due to attend from Sweden.

Then, further on in the piece, we read:

An extensive search was carried out by the bomb squad on all luggage and passengers - including those also travelling to the Islamic conference but nothing more was found.

Hmmm…..

They're making me angry twice over. The American branch of my family lives in the New York area. My mother was in that area on September 11th. Plus I believe that Al Qaeda was planning to hit Big Ben. I'm sick of this, thoroughly angry. These people are the lowest cowards on the face of the earth, picking on women and children because they know they'd get killed in open combat.

We need to take out Saddam, knock out Saudi Arabia, punch out Syria, provoke a revolution in Iran, throttle Egypt and basically make sure these bastards never stand up again.

I was suggesting that if the Al Qaeda supporters demonstrate in London again, that we merely tell Millwall fans that there is free lager available at the same place. None of the Al Qaeda people would live to tell the tale.

Interesting tactical change. Lone jihadist with martyr complex kills pilot and co-pilot. Plane crashes. I wonder if the other 10 or 12 were there to fight with the passengers, or if they had no knowledge of the plan. At least the police know who they are now.

I absolutely agree. Thank God your Mother is OK, although it must have been awful for her to witness such a horrible act.

I wish the rest of the EU felt the same way as you. The reports here are that none (besides the U.K.) of the European countries support our President in his planned actions against Iraq.

Perhaps they'll at least thank us when the rats are all expelled from the Middle East.

[Cautor]

LOL! Great idea Ivan. And right you are.

[MadIvan]

I absolutely agree. Thank God your Mother is OK, although it must have been awful for her to witness such a horrible act.

I was going insane trying to phone her. When I saw the Palestinians on the news firing their guns in the air and celebrating...well I won't repeat what I said, I wouldn't want to repeat it in front of a lady. ;)

I wish the rest of the EU felt the same way as you. The reports here are that none (besides the U.K.) of the European countries support our President in his planned actions against Iraq.

That's because they're fools, quite frankly. I cannot understand how anyone in the vicinity of Europe can favour of appeasement given its dreadful history.

Perhaps they'll at least thank us when the rats are all expelled from the Middle East.

The French have never thanked us for anything. Ever.

Best Regards, Ivan

Dear Ivan -

I like your style. The only we Brits we seem to see on teevee lately are the namby-pambie America-hating leftwing handwringers, it's damn good to hear from the rest of you.

I've retracted my cheap shot at the "average Brit" after reading some of your postings. I'd be proud to have an ally like you anytime.

[dansangel]

"The French have never thanked us for anything. Ever."

ROFL!....I'll let that comment stand just as it is. o~<);-)
