Well, if anyone had any doubts that our anonymous foe
is prepared for a long, drawn-out struggle, those should
be laid to rest by now. Details aren't all in, but it
appears those who didn't get a chance to carry out their
"missions" on Tuesday tried to get through yesterday instead!
(What a bunch of idiots--but hey, now we have some *alive*...)
Apparently the Feds have 10 or 11 individuals in custody,
people who had knives and in a couple of cases pilot's
licenses and were wearing stolen uniforms (Delta, I think).
They had Tuesday tickets to LAX originally.
From the looks of it, the Feds may have dropped the ball on
the initial attacks, but it looks like things are falling
into place now. This little band of demons is on borrowed
time, and so are their brothers in terror "back home" and all
over the world, from Manila and Hamburg to Baghdad and Kabul. I
have a strange feeling that our people already know the
first couple of targets on our list, and may even be on their
way. May their aim be true (I have few doubts it will be).
LFB (Who appreciates Queen Elizabeth II's gesture yesterday
beyond words.)
