In the context of the greater fight against terror, in which I include Iraq, Muslim extremism in general did manage to strike an inadvertent target with today's arrests. Islamofascism has shot itself in the foot.
One can almost hear the teeth gnashing within the MSM as all that great copy on Haditha goes to waste. It'll resurface. But the initial impact is gone. And for better or worse, Americans are going to have much less sympathy for a relatively small number of Iraqis, as they contemplate 3 tons of ammonium nitrate just north of the border in the hands of a group with at least some ties to two students in Georgia.
It isn't going to go a long way to buck up the open borders crowd, either. Today appears to have been a big win in the GWOT and a sound defeat for liberals in the MSM.
TORONTO (Reuters) - A group of Canadian residents arrested for "terrorism related offenses" had amassed enough explosives to build huge bombs and were planning to blow up targets around southern Ontario, Canadian police said on Saturday.
Mike McDonnell, assistant commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said the group had acquired three tonnes of ammonium nitrate -- or three times the amount used in the 1995 bombing in Oklahoma City -- as they sought to "create explosive devices."


"Americans are going to have much less sympathy for a relatively small number of Iraqis, as they contemplate 3 tons of ammonium nitrate just north of the border in the hands of a group...."
You wish, you ignorant, silly, windmill-chasing, chicken-hawking little boy. Don't you have any clue as to why most Americans are opposed to the war in Iraq?

Islamicist students are very important for the diversification of America.
So what if they have a few other goals. They are human, and share our values, sort of, except for some stuff.
With our state department ON THE JOB, we should all move to Afghanistan, for some safety. Who is going to stay here and teach the Islamicists to pilot jets? Heavy Head, Light Brain will be more than happy.

HEAVY Wearer of Anachronistic Symbols,
Can you not make a point without demonstrating your total lack of class?
Most American are opposed to the war in Iraq for a variety of reasons:
1. They think that b/c Saddam destroyed, hid or shipped out his weapons the threat was gone. They don't realize he would have re-started the programs the moment the world turned its attention elsewhere.
2. They believe the MSM drumbeat lie that America is losing. (It's not)
3. They don't believe America can fight on two fronts at once- the Richard Clarke approach to terrrorism.
4. They don't undersatnd the long term importance of creating democracies in the M.E.
5. They just wish it would all go away.
7. Short attention span.
8. Rise of leftist moronism.
9. Rise of libertardianism.
So you tell us brave-hearted genius. Why? And do you always cave to the majority? Would you have joined the chorus for Barrabus?

Speaking of... If you're so well informed and enlightened, why don't you have the cajones (that would be BALLS, you DF) to do more than post a comment that has no point?
