Posted by: JamesMarcus 2 years, 5 months ago

One of the people arrested in last week's failed car bombings in London and at Glasgow's airport is believed to have been involved in the incidents at both locations, ITN reported Monday. Police also arrested an eighth person in connection with the failed car bomb attacks on Glasgow Airport and London, British police said.

    Scotland Yard: Bombers 'laughable', likely not 'al Qaeda'

      I just caught the tail end of the news. If I heard this right, the Brits have arrested 3 Medical Doctors, including one who was the passenger in the Jeep which crashed into the Glasgow airport terminal.

      What the hell are these people thinking? I must be massively underestimating the power of Islam. For a Medical Doctor to get involved in direct terrorist activities when the survival of the Doctor is highly doubtful, is mind opening.

      Any person who finishes medical school is way above average IQ. Medical studies involve endless hours of rote memory work that must be embedded deep enough to be recalled years after learning. The level of personal sacrifice to complete the course of study is gigantic.

      For a Doctor to throw all of his past out the window on some pin prick attack, with the fore knowledge that he may not survive says one thing about Islam to the West; these people are crazy. To defeat radical Islam, the West needs to buckle up for some serious bleeding.

          the london bombings were suspicious in nature and so is this fiasco.. i wouldn't be surprised if this has been staged to keep the hype on terror active.. how pathetic..

          britain has a habit of arresting people and then they drop out of the news and are forgotten.. kind of like the detainees at gitmo.. our governments need investigating not all of these bogus terrorists.

                Ok, so there's an Iraqi, a Palestinian/Jordanian, some Pakistanis... yeah, this might be al qaeda. They like to embarass nations that have good relations with US. But it certainly wasn't the A team. Thank God for incompetence!

                      Mouthpiece for terrorists. It is always someone elses fault. You were humiliated by the poverty your own leaders have kept you in for decades and now you are ******ed. You can not say or do anything against your own government as they would kill you but it is ok to seek out innocent women and children on which to take out your frustrations.

                        Come on Peckerwood, call your shrink and tell him you are having those delusional thoughts again. I'm sure he can see you on an emergency basis. In the meantime, try turning off your computer and taking a cold shower. Oh, sorry, I forgot, you people don't shower. In that case, just go soak your head.

How do you explain that one? Oh - must be they're all murderous posers practicing a phony religion? Could be

GET REAL. You are the true fifth columnist. Easing the way for radical Islam to destroy our way of life. You are a traitor.

                                      I get a lot of scam mail from england asking for money-I have called some of the people and they sound like arabs.

                                      I guess we should be fortunate latinos are not radicals and only committ small bodily injury crimes.

                                          You received spam mail from England asking you for money. And you spend your own money to call them. And you could tell from their voices that they sound like Arabs. And according to you "I guess we should be fortunate latinos are not radicals and only committ small bodily injury crimes."

                                              "So incompetent as to be almost laughable." That's how former Scotland Yard detective John O'Connor described the botched UK bombings this morning on CNN. He also noted that it's probably wrong to refer to these guys as 'al Qaeda'

                                                Yet another supposed quote from out of nowhere - no source, no date, no nothing.

                                                I wonder if you can find any similar quotes from people in the twin towers on 9/11? You know, something like "As I prepared to die, I realized that the whole building was falling because of faulty construction by Zionest Jewish contactors and GWB. I wondered how my life would have been different if I had lived in Gaza, the left bank, Iran or some other Islamic paradise?"
