How thankful am I that the British Police foiled the plotting of these terrorists?
\nImagine, these terrorists had enough bomb making materials to take down as much as ten planes whose final destination was the United States!
\nThe damage done with just three planes was devastating enough, imagine what ten planes could have done?
\nAccordinging to the Washington Times<\/a><\/p>\n

The British Police on Monday [today] charged eight people being held on suspicion of plotting bomb attacks on airplanes and said they had evidence supporting the plot. Two other people were being held for allegedly failing to disclose information and a youth was charged with possessing articles useful to a person preparing acts of terrorism.
\n[and that]\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

At a news conference in London, Metropolitan Police Deputy Assistant Commissioner Peter Clarke gave an unusually detailed account of what had been found since the raids this month that all but stopped air traffic in Britain.
\n“Since Aug. 10 we have found bomb-making equipment,” Clarke said “There are chemicals, including hydrogen peroxide, electrical components, documents and other items.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The war on terror is indeed a world-wide campaign. Even if countries in Europe and people in our own country want to pretend that we can appease the terrorists; that we can make peace treaties and they will leave us alone.
\nIt’s madness.
\nMuch like what happened when Hitler was rising to power and it wasn’t until he invaded Poland and actually started bombing England that he was taken seriously; then they had no choice but to finally get involved in WWII.
\nThe fact remains that if the British were not on their toes now we would have another 9-11 on our hands.
\nIt’s nice to have allies who are looking out for you and who take seriously this world-wide challenge, this War on Terror.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
