But they look just like us!!!!!!!!

*grabs M-16A2*

Okay, bring on the Canadians.

[The_Dark]

Actually.. no.... The people in question are of Arab decent. The article doesn't bring that up.. just calls them Canadians...

Correction sir... They had Arab names. That doesn't necessarily make them of Arab decent. Many people do that when they convert to Islam.

I was mostly poking fun at the fact that Canadians are always thought of as peaceful types. Except during a hockey game. =)

[The_Dark]

Trinidad.... Egypt... Somalia... I soppose that they are not all of Arab decent.

[Msterbeau]

OK. I didn't read beyond the original article.

[The_Dark]

I;ve been reading about it all weekend.

[Homicidalheathen]

Yah I heard about this. Glad they got them BEFORE they blew something up.

[BrassFusion]

KUDOS to Canada for neutralizing a major threat before it happens and without spinning it to turn it into some international "Terror-related" power play (no hockey pun intended).

When was the last time the US actually intercepted something like that?

[The_Dark]

Lets see...

Here are few we know about... there are more.

2002 - Second wave of planes that was to hit LA

2001 - The Shoe Bomber

[BrassFusion]

Hadn't both of those circumstances already done damage, though?

[Msterbeau]

Yes. The burning shoe stunk like hell and forced everyone to plug their nose. :laughing :fear

[The_Dark]

The shoe bomb failed to actually explode... so no damamge.

as for the LA attack... have you heard about any passanger planes hitting buildings in LA?

[BrassFusion]

To Beau:

To Dark: You're the one who said "second wave."

[Msterbeau]

To Dark: You're the one who said "second wave."

His implication being that the second wave never got there...

I don't recall anything about LA. Got any links to related info/stories Mark?

As for Richard Reid... We didn't get him until his "bomb" failed... so we didn't really intercept him, did we?

[The_Dark]

It was the second wave. I never said or hinted that it hit.

Here's a link to the major threats that we have stopped... do your own research after that.

People dont really hear much about attacks that we have stopped. The major news media doesn;t even really cover them... no one died... not sensational enough for ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox or CNN....

i DONT think canadians are harmless---one of the fucking kunuks held a knife to my boyfriend and stole 300$ from him!!

[The Kanuck]

The_Dark is right, no one cares if they stop it. The media only wants too see death and blood shed when it comes to Terror Attacks. Which is a complete shame, since people should be happy that the US government is doing it's job stopping people from causing harm to other.

Anywho, Lets just hope we all see more stories of people stopping people from blowing shit up rather then people actually blowing shit up >.<

Ciao- Jake
