That is a lot of doctors, and now that I think of it, doctors deal in biology, germs and all. I don’t like the cross-fertilization of terrorists and doctors that know about germs much. I wonder if that is why folks are worried about spectacular attacks this summer. The thought of doctors and germs ties in better with the question, I think Steyn(?) mentioned, about whether these attacks were a distraction.

If they were, then that potentiality should be less so now that the doctors are being rounded up, but that’s only true is the intel guys consider it.

One is a neurologist. Any info on what the others are?

Multiple car bombs designed to slaughter hundreds of civilians and strikes against critical infrastructure are daily events in Baghdad, and al-Qaeda in Iraq has decided to put its experience in mass murder on the internet…

this guy in Pic is obviously not “Asian”

Seriously?? He looks Asian to me.

That’s how it’s been in Islam for centuries. Anybody with any courage or brains was killed off long ago. All that’s left are the mindless minions that don’t even question the mass murder of innocents.

Seriously, what will it take to shake the UK out of their overly-PC denial about the “Islamic problem” they have within their society? You would have thought the London bus bombings would have been enough but, yet, here we are again. What really scares me is the possibility that these amateurish attacks are merely intelligence gathering missions to see how the authorities will react so that they can plan the real attack better.

Someone must inform them that being caught on CCTV may be the best way to get their message out and let the public decide if they agree or not. OOOPs, forgot the public probably would not like it so they would be ridiculed which would hurt their feelings and we can not to that according to the PC police.

Update: Two more were arrested last night, both in connection with the Glasgow bombing. Seven down, one (or more?) to go.

I don’t know if we can assume all seven guys are from the same terror cell… the Brits might be arresting accomplices, or something else likely: members of another cell they have also been monitoring. Just in case this is the start of a wave of attacks relating to the 7/7 anniversary.

Contribution to the Smeats Pint fund on the way.

So where the Hell is our apology?

I think I am getting it now.

If the bomb doesn’t explode and kill hundreds, it never happened, and we are foolish even to report it. And if it does, it is our fault…we should have been paying closer attention to people that we shouldn’t pay closer attention to.

Go away, Larry.

At the end of the day, how important is it that these people belong to some larger group, such as al Qaeda?

Are people any less dead, or, in this case, any less threatened, by the possibility that these goons are not card-carrying, blood-oath, secret-handshake, training camp graduates sent forth by some unseen hand?

Brown stated yesterday that they are linked to al Qaeda, so if that proves wrong, and these guys wind up being independent Islamic whackos, the media will sound no different than Larry Johnson — because no one in western government has the guts to publicly admit that what all these inhuman bloodsuckers have in common is firstly, lastly and obviously Islam, as taught by radicals in mosques throughout the western world.

The doctor who was recently convicted on terrorism charges in NY is a good case in point: the media pooh-poohed him as harmless, because all he did, according to the geniuses of the press, was get tricked into swearing an oath to al Qaeda by an undercover agent. The good doctor, however, in an act of supreme hubris, took the stand on his own behalf, and the prosecution succeeded in exposing him as a foaming-at-the-mouth, wife-beating, Quran-waving jihadist in waiting. The jury had the opportunity to see what lies beyond the “if you ain’t al Qaeda you ain’t nothing” mantra, and found him guilty.

Let’s face it, we’ve killed off the few with any brains.

That is sage, my friend.

It’s also possible these guys were already being sought in connection with the London plot – they knew it was a matter of time before they were apprehended and decided to go out in a blaze of glory. Given how haphazard this seems, that was my immediate suspicion.

They are believed to have come from the Middle East a year ago.

That should have read “They’re believed to be Asians”.

Anyway, has anyone figured out what the motivator was for these guys yet? I heard some kooks saying that Islam might be behind this, but come on!

Here is an image to keep in your mind when reading it

Notice the desperate “cia colleage” resume bolstering reference – um it’s just precious.
