What's that I hear. The terrorists don't like the brits either?

Man, this just keeps getting better and better.

Britian will now thank us, yeah?

Does this mean that Brits are gonna be walking the streets carrying guns and baseball (well, okay, CRICKET) bats, like the Hasidim in Brooklyn?

They would have converted Big Ben to a digital clock anyways. Bad terrorists, bad!

Another flamewar?

*grabs popcorn*

Yup, the british had it coming. Maybe they should think about why the world hates them so much.

/smug sarcasm.

43%: Ouch!

Ben who?? The bear?? He's so gentle though.

this explains a bit of why tony has helped spearhead the war against terrorism.

Damn, I'm tired. Tired of hearing about dirty nukes and suicidal terrorists. I need a vacation. Stop the planet, time to get off for a while...

kinda sorta puts the lie to all that bs about "they hate us because of our imperialist foreign policy, waaahhh," eh?

Quick, Brits - revoke all your civil and human rights laws. It's working really well for us.

Clark Griswold on 9/11: Look kids! Parliament! (boom!) Big Ben! (boom!)

More "propoganda" without any proof? I don't think so, but I bet the tinfoil hat crowd does.

Figures...

Ben who?? The bear??

No, Ben Hur. The terrorists just don't like chariot races.

I wonder if Brittain is going to start suspending civil rights now and claim is defense against another thwarted terrorist attack

In other news, terrorists had also targeted the sear's tower, the eiffel tower, the taj mahal, the space needle, the leaning tower of pisa, and the bethleham church

Im am so damn sick of hearing about what they were targeting...I'm gonna lock myself in my dorm room all day september 11th, i won't turn the computer on, i won't turn the tv on, i don't wanna hear it!

... that's comming up later. But now on Fark, the Special Olympics.

Burber - It's always a good idea to share government intelligence.

Not to say this or other information isn't fabricated, but it's impossible for me or anybody else to say either way.

They don't like Ben Hur because Allah disapproves of homosexual behaviorisms...

This isn't true. They're just jealous. Kinda like when all the news anchors were hoping they'd get anthrax letters too.

Big Ben... Parliament... Big Ben... Parliament...

bottom line is, to justify the continuing war they have to discuss all the "could have been" scenarios.

From what I hear, they already have.

Sounds like a very convenient way to try to drum up some of the lacking international support of our "war on terror"

Riiiiiiiiiiight...just like the plane that was REALLY supposed to hit the White House. ;) ;)

BIllDarryl Sorry, didn't mean to ape your post. :)

So, wasn't Al-Quaida supposedly behind the conspiracy to bomb a synagogue in Paris, as well?

There's a war on terror now? Wow, I thought the U.S. was just hunting down some 6'4" arab guy in Afghanistan.

I've also heard the Osama is using Fark to send coded messages to activate Al Qaida sleeper cells...anyone? anyone?

That's exactly what it's like. Not just that, but this dude is a "terrorism expert." From what I read from the article he has no connection to the government. He's just some yahoo trying to sell a book.

Lucky break for Britain that Al Qaeda stepped on their collective dingers with that one.

Big deal. I've heard Matt Damon "flies a plane" into Ben Affleck on a regul--- oh, the clock? That's totally different.

Every minute of every day, some crackpot is hatching a plot to build a nuke or fly a plane into the vatican or some such crap. Just because they hatch these devious plans does not mean they will succeed.

Who is this "Al Queda" guy? Shouldn't we be going after him?

dude's trying to sell a book

Al Quaida would never use FARK message boards to send hidden codes to their opperatives.

And the purple monkey has a sponge in his back pocket. Got that. Not his front pocket. His BACK pocket. Over.

"Look kids, Big Ben. Parliment."

What other alternative is there other than detaining these people? We're not talking about model citizens.
This dude went to jail a gang member, found a much larger gang with greater means, and got a cooler name. And when he got out he got to fly around the world and think he was important.
I have no sypathy for these people that want to see you and I dead...simply for being born American. F them, secretly kill them all. At least we can keep secrets.

jihad! jihad! (How does that sound with a British accent?))

"this dude is a "terrorism expert." From what I read from the article he has no connection to the government. He's just some yahoo trying to sell a book."

Exactly so. Well said DrToast!

"The alleged would-be Big Ben attacker, Afroz Muhammed, was arrested in India."

He should be executed for giving the 70's, funk and Fletch a bad name.

Look, kids... Big Ben, Parliament....

I just cant get left!

Chicken Little: " The sky is falling....the sky is falling!!"

One thing I find puzzling...

Why aren't any terrorist groups attacking the Russians? They did the bulk of the work destroying Afghanistan.

I just wrote a book talking about how I think they were going to target my house. What do you mean self serving?
