Bomb the Holland Tunnel, Flood Manhattan. Jihadist plot busted. Man arrested in Beirut.

WAG

THE

DOG

Coincidence that this "BREAKING NEWS" was released on the anniversary of the London bombings?

Authorities thwarted a "terror attack" that was in the PLANNING STAGES (which, if you know anything about terrorism, or if you paid attention to the story, you would've seen that this plan was YEARS away from happening, nearly impossible to actually execute, and the "key player" in the story was blogging on an "extremist" website in BEIRUT.) That doesn't add up to "BREAKING NEWS" to me. However, it does take away from other stories... stories like:

Gas is over $3/Gallon

Several more bombs went off in Iraq last night

Resistance to the Coalition is building in Afghanistan

Israel is occupying Gaza (AGAIN!)

But hey, who cares, we "thwarted" yet another "terror attack" on NY-NJ. I'm glad we did, but something like this is about as significant as a mom flipping out becuase her daughter dropped an F-bomb on MySpace but didn't catch her sneaking in the window last night after having (unprotected) sex with her boyfriend.

This is not "BREAKING NEWS!!!" This is something that should be, in the grand scheme of things, so minimal that we shouldn't even hear about it.

good insight brother slim

Yes very good insight slim, somehow in all the fervor over this in the planning stages to attack the tunnel I totally forgot that gas is over $3 per gallon, even though I fill up like every other day--and there is a sign in front of every gas station in the World that has the price per gallon in Arial 1,000,000 pts Font. And bombs in Iraq are how they keep time over there, as church bells are silent and illegal--since any religion besides the two sects of Islam are illegal, And resistance to the coalition in Afghanistan is building--by what measure are you using—oh but what someone told you in the break room at work today? Or did you actually go to Afghanistan and run a poll with all the various factions and remnant Tailban and Al Qada. And Gaza is occupied again--hmmm, guess seeing that as the top story almost everyday on CNN.COM and the various post by Wife Of Muhammad in OT remind us of this fact, still it slipped my mind--just had no idea that Gaza was in any kind of turmoil. Yeah slim really good insight—definitely this terror plot is a media produced trumped up charge by the Police in Lebanon, Jordan and by the FBI to Wag-the-Dog. Oh but wait, you forgot one critical problem--you must have a fooled media and something of a lesser significance controlling something of a larger significance in order to actually fit the metaphor of the tail wagging the dog. Gee I can certainly see where blowing up the Holland tunnel in order to drown New York is greater significance than all the other problems you mentioned. I almost didn't pay $3 per gallon of gas today--because I thought about how much better it would be to buy life vest and fill up my motorboat instead--with all the impending doom from the Jihadist Tidal Wave.

And just think had we stopped 911 in the planning stages--gee, with your logic we should do like Hollywood movies and always stop the bombers plot with 1 second left on the ticking time bomb. Yeah stop them now while it’s still on the drawing board--rather than later when they are on a board at the county morgue. Anyway keep up the good insight slim.

I know there are Jews and Christians in Iraq--they are in the US Military most of them--and the ones that are actual native Iraqis live in exisle, seek political asylum, live in fear, or in secret.

The FBI said that someone leaked this info, and that they weren't planning on coming out to public with it yet....

Usually from Sean Penn like the rest of you--but in this case common sense and reports in the news media.

Christians are represented by only one minister in the interim Iraqi government. Christians started leaving Iraq, beginning in the early 1980s. Nearly half a million have gone in the past 15 years.

In response to international pressure, the Baghdad government quietly allowed most of the remaining Jews to emigrate in the early 1970's, even while leaving other restrictions in force. Most of Iraq's remaining Jews are now too old to leave, the youngest Jew living in Iraq is 38 years old. They have been pressured by the government to turn over title, without compensation, to more than $200 million worth of Jewish community property. Today, approximately 35 Jews live in Baghdad, and a handful more in the Kurdish-controlled northern parts of Iraq.

I guess to say that there is a meaningful population of Christians and Jews in Iraq, is like saying there was overpopulation on the Moon from 1969 to 1972.

Are they going to use pumps to flood Manhattan? Cuz water doesn't like to go up. I studied fluid dynamics in the Navy.
