Alleged Terror Plot Foiled at JFK Airport

[AE]

NEW YORK —  Three people were arrested and one other was being sought in connection to a plan to set off explosives at John F. Kennedy International Airport, officials close to the investigation said.

The plot, which never got past the planning stages, did not involve airplanes or passenger terminals, according to the two officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because details of the arrests had not yet been announced. They did not elaborate on the specific target at the airport, one of the nation's busiest.

Details were to be given out at a 1 p.m. news conference.

They were going to try and blow up jet fuel hoping for a catastophic chain reaction.

Thanks President Bush for keeping our country safer.

Something tells me Bush didn't have anything to do with it... Once again, the FBI... As it should be... Can we please get rid of the Dept. of Homeland defense now? It's such a waste.

Thanks President Bush for pissing so many people off so badly that they want to do this to us.

Yeah....I heard it was a Catholic , a Jew and a Lutheren..oh wait..no?  it was couple of Muslims? ...no way!!! not the religion of peace, I refuse to believe a bunch of wothless pieces of shit wanted to blow up an airport.

Right, because terrorism didn't exist before 2000.

The funny thing is that the government is trying to play it like this was going to be a doomsday scenario. A spokesman for the company that runs the pipelines said they are designed not to blow up  like the suspects thought they would.

Not nearly to the degree it does now thanks to the worst president ever. 

[Al Doggity]

Terrorism has been a huge problem for America for more than 30 years.


And you seem to be starting with the false premise that there is some rationality to terrorism. These guys usually have no clear goals or motives.


They weren't even middle eastern muslims. One was American, one was Guyanese, they were working in conjunction with a Trinadadian terror cell.

Whut?

Jimmy Carter is back in the White House?

Let's not get carried away here... Carter wasn't a bad president at all.

Herbert Hoover... terrible. Grant... Bad... Bush... just the worst... he really is.

How about this... If he's not the worst, then tell me some of the good things he's done... I'd like to hear them, because I must keep missing them.

I'd reply, but you're obviously too stupid to understand

i saw a History channel special on this.. Like Egyptian muslim clerics preaching anti-american rhetoric in the early 70's. Looks like these guys have been around and dubya is giving them more and more excuses.

Again, what would Gore or Kerry done if they would have been elected instead of Bush after 9/11? And just why is he the worst?

Your an idiot, if it wasn't for Bush we wouldn't have the security we have now and that goes for around the world!

You're asking me to answer to something I can't... I don't know what they would have done... No one does.

Every thing he's touched has gone to absolute crap.

The guy thinks he can write blank checks for everything and he does not think about the consequences of his actions.

Those are just a couple of things off the top of my head that make him the worst.

If you don't think he's the worst, then who was?

We have an extremly proporus economy, intrest rates are low, something like  4.5% unemployment and the markets are hitting an all time high............during wartime mind you, how can you say everything he touches has gone to absolute crap?

I think history has shown that during wartimes we generally had a weak economy.

Interest rates are low because the economy is weak... Unemployment is a made up number... If you don't collect unemployment (ie, your benefits have run out) you're no longer considered 'unemployed', so I don't like using those figures.

I mean, who has been worse than he has been?

The economy is weak? Where? Sorry you don't like those figures, but thats just the way it is. Dude, your about the only liberal with any commonsense and don't name call when someone disagrees with you, but come on, give credit when credit is due, the dow was almost at another record yesterday!

I've always found the Dow to be a fictitious and inflated sense of the economy.

If you look at inflation since the late 80s the Dow does not match up with it equally... I don't hold the numbers that the Dow produces to be very indicative of the economy as a whole.

That's just me though, some may disagree...

Still, who's been worse than Bush?

[Eyeball Chambers]

Yeah....I heard it was a Catholic , a Jew and a Lutheren..oh wait..no?

HAHAHA 

[Eyeball Chambers]

Herbert Hoover... terrible. Grant... Bad... Bush... just the worst... he really is.

If he was bad than why did the theme song from "All in the Family" say "Mister we could use a man
Like Herbert Hoover again."

Yeah, I never understood that... Herbert Hoover was one of the worst in history... The term sucks like a Hoover... was really about him, because he freaking sucked!

why didnt they try to blow up the airport or get on an airplane? because they knew they couldnt get past the security. before homeland they could have easily walked through one of the checkpoints.. homeland is in the business of prevention not apprehension like the fbi.

how many people were killed on american soil before 911?

[ieffinhatecardio]

Good Lord, the irony, it's literally dripping from your post.

It's similar to those posts you make criticizing people for blaming everything on Bush.

You're simply too fueled by hate and right wing propaganda to see anything in any kind of objective way. It's border line frightening.
