So are we going to go from Bert to Ernie?
 
2007-06-02 12:15:59 PM
I thought we were fighting them there so we don't have to fight them here.
 
2007-06-02 12:21:53 PM
SHENANIGANS!!
I don't believe this for a minute.

My President said we're fighting them over in Iraq so they AREN'T here, so this is completely made up.

News?

Old conference at noon.
 
2007-06-02 12:22:20 PM
Yet you libtards hate the PATRIOT Act. Without it these terrorists would've blown up a plane today.
 
2007-06-02 12:22:41 PM
According to the article, it's one arrest, and three at large.
 
2007-06-02 12:23:14 PM
Hey, approval ratings are low...let's add some more fear.
/Worked in the past.
 
2007-06-02 12:23:18 PM
It's easier for them to fight here with plenty of ground support from the ACLU, self-hating liberals and plenty of compliant media whores.
 
2007-06-02 12:23:37 PM
Yes, but what time is the old conference?
 
2007-06-02 12:24:10 PM
Wait...I thought there was no war on terror and all of this was just a plot to make us give up our freedoms?
 
2007-06-02 12:25:14 PM
Another case of sprinkler equipment being mistaken for bomb materials?
 
2007-06-02 12:25:16 PM
Four people have been charged. One is in custody in New York. Three suspects are thought to be overseas.

. . .

One law enforcement official said: "[There was] credible intent to commit violence but it was not operational."


So, if it wasn't operational, why the rush to arrest the one guy when the other three stay at large?
 
2007-06-02 12:26:06 PM
libtard. snort.
 
2007-06-02 12:26:18 PM
I thought it was impossible for them to come over here because we were fighting them over there!
 
2007-06-02 12:26:39 PM
Damn! Just imagine the commemorative plates that could have been made.
 
2007-06-02 12:26:41 PM
Elections must be soon.

No, silly. We're not fighting Iran yet. We have to be fighting all of them over there.

"Yet you libtards hate the PATRIOT Act."


Like you know that the Patriot Act was the downfall of these guys. For all we know, these guys were discovered because there was a secret message in Oprah Winfrey's show.

Yet you libtards hate the PATRIOT Act. Without it these terrorists would've blown up a plane today.

First, the plot was non-operational, so no plane was going to blow up today. Second, the plot targeted the airport, not planes. Third, what makes you think that Patriot Act powers helped foil this plot, rather than good old fashion police work?
 
2007-06-02 12:27:22 PM
It is refreshing to see the asshattitude of the early posters, maybe you should hold off commenting till you have some facts.
 
2007-06-02 12:27:25 PM
Ha, they can't win either way.

Anyway, good job fellas.

Nice troll, short and sweet.
 
2007-06-02 12:27:54 PM
So, mission accomplished, right?

/Right?
 
2007-06-02 12:28:06 PM
What is it now? A shin-chan ad? Or maybe Moral Orel?

O wait, it's not Boston.

Heroic Poser, Sammy Jenkins:

Is it wrong that our Government had some success catching these guys? Seriously, what would make you happy? The 'joke' you both tossed out there is so old and used up it isn't remotely funny or clever anymore, it simply reeks of bitterness. I guess what I'm getting at is that you guys simply come across as whiny a-holes with nothing significant to add. Thanks for your input.
 
2007-06-02 12:28:27 PM
Great job by all the law enforcement people involved!
 
2007-06-02 12:28:36 PM
I liked the old conference much better... :(

You must be new here. Welcome to FARK.

Fark It

Thanks. I thought to myself, "Who the fark would be stupid enough to bite?"
 
2007-06-02 12:29:39 PM
Should I panic now or at 1? Wait, is that 1 EDT or 1 CST? Help me out here people.
 
2007-06-02 12:29:45 PM
The white zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in a red zone.
 
2007-06-02 12:30:19 PM
we're going to win this war on terrorism. one of my strategies has been to paint mom's basement the color of the threat level. i've looked at this event (and that some suspects are at large) into account and factored the name "kennedy" in, and just given the room a quick coat of violent red

we're in trouble boys

this person was from guyana (never farking heard of it) so i'm thinking we need to invade hawaii

You got me.

Quick points:

1. I predict that a lot of conservative Farkers will show up who just happened to be AWOL for the recent Valerie Plame threads.
2. There is no mention of whether or not illegal wiretapping was used to capture them
3. FTFA:
Sources said one suspect is thought to be a former parliament or government official in Guyana.
Yeah, unless we have troops in South America, I don't see us doing any good.
4. On the possibility of them being Islamic (from Wikipedia):
The major religions in Guyana include Christianity, comprising 57% of the population, Hinduism at 37%, Islam at 9%, and Bahá'í at 7%.
5. All of the plots that have been "uncovered" so far have been total shams. Like, for instance, the guys planning on taking down the Brooklyn bridge with some blowtorches.
6. That being said, I'm thankful that no one got hurt.

The old conference must be for the freedom lovers.

Brubold: Wait...I thought there was no war on terror and all of this was just a plot to make us give up our freedoms?

Well your an idiot who never listens to anything said.

No one said there is not terrorists who want to kill us.
They just weren't in Iraq.


Tell me why is George Bush afraid to go after Osama Bin Laden the killer of thousands of americans.


Bush gave up on the war on Terrorism to fight in Iraq.

What the left wants is us to have a REAL fight against terrorism not giving up which is what Bush did.


Please explain to me why Bush gave up on hunting down the terrorist who killed thousands of US citizen on our own soil.

Explain that.

It's not October 2008 yet. WTF?

Three Crooked Squirells: "Second, the plot targeted the airport, not planes."

Talk about splitting hairs to make a point. That's one of the stupidest arguments I've ever read. I'll try to keep it in mind when I'm being incinerated by burning jet fuel, I'm sure it will be quite comforting. Moron.
 
2007-06-02 12:32:26 PM
Meet the new conference, same as the old conference.........
 
2007-06-02 12:32:27 PM
Double you EEEEENNNNN bee c
 
2007-06-02 12:32:53 PM
Don't worry everyone!
The President has just left the White House to hold a conference about how he needs more power.

Your numbers add up to 110%. They must be trying as hard as a little leaguer

Did you bother to read any part of the article? Say, the parts about that a plane wasn't going to be blown up?

And do you have proof that the PA was used in this?

Didn't think so.

Go back to your Koo-Aid.

My point was that his post jumped to conclusions unsupported by any information that has been released. Then he admitted to trolling. Sorry I offended you. Moron.

Three Crooked Squirrels

Hahaha, so they do. At the bottom of the page, there is this reference:

6. Though these estimates seem generous. The official statistics (2002) from the [Guyana Bureau of Statistics] are as follows: Christianity, comprising 41.6% of the population, Hinduism: 28.8%, Islam at 7.3%, Rastafarian 0.5%, Bahá'í: 0.1% with the remainder being of no faith or indigenous religions.

That adds up to 78.3% :)
