It’s Now Up to 45!

A few days ago, I asked the question “So what’s going on, that these are all doctors?”

A few hours later, DavidL posted Jihadists posing as doctors,suggesting that al-Qaida in Iraq was involved.

Now we find out by way

Here’s a story from The Australian that gives an indication of just what kind of cowards we’re dealing with:

THE leader of a radical Pakistani mosque was arrested while trying to flee in a woman’s burqa as security forces stepped

Some way to treat a hero.  John Ferguson has the story:

BATTLING taxi driver Alex McIlveen faced down the Glasgow Airport terror suspects … and his courage cost him his favourite pair of trainers and a £30 parking fine.

In the New York Post, yesterday, Amir Taheri raises a question I raised the other day, and takes it farther:

THE car-bomb/suicide-terror operations in London and Glasgow should have provided a fresh opportunity for reminding everyone, especially Muslims in

Steve Verdon over at OTB:

Senator Lieberman likes the use of close circuit television cameras (cctv) just like in England.  He thinks that it would be a wise move from a security stand point.

The total number of doctors involved in the UK terror attacks is now FIVE

Brits get pratriotic, Enjoy.

Bash a couple stories together and you come up with interesting results.
Captain Ed, this morning says

What are the causes of terrorism? Many would have them as poverty, a lack of education, and little exposure to Western values.

I saw this post from Michael Yon, earlier today, and had no words for it. It is, the reality of what we’re up against.  Cold, hard, brutal.  It’s a reality that many in our country don’t want to face.

As events unfold I’m simply asking that folks take a big deep breath and try to keep things in perspective.  Are there jihadist extremists in the world who are willing to kill innocents?  Absolutely.  Are they amenable to negotiation?  No. 

HotAir is tracking a story out of the UK. Go and read.

It’s interesting to watch the story as far as AP is concerned, be sent as a mere car crash, when everyone else on the planet was calling it

Telegraph(UK);

A four-wheel drive vehicle has crashed into Glasgow Airport’s terminal building and burst into flames.

Reports said witnesses saw a car attempting to drive into the airport through the main doors. After it crashed its occupants were seen

James at OTB is saying there was a SECOND car bomb found near Piccadilly. No shock, of course, that the usual denizens over at Kos and the DU(h) were too busy claiming the the first carbomb was a fake to
