Iraq connection in UK bomb plot?

The following countries could be toppled and governed by Al Qaeda, if it savagely attacked them over a protracted period:

Spain

France

Netherlands

Greece

Their vulnerability is one of the best kept secrets on Planet Earth today. Imagine the tactical edge AQ would gain if it actually captured substantial territory in Europe itself. Wow.

Common sense. They practically already say sorry to the terrorists when they get attacked by them.

Of course, I don't know about France anymore with Sarkozy.

Probably.

pino that is nonsense,where do you get this from ?

Heard on Fox that France's liberal intellectuals think Sarkozy should stop jogging because jogging is a 'fascist' form of exercise. They hearken back to the Nazi obsession with physical fitness and the German Superman concept. They're urging him to walk instead of jog. What garbage.

I'm just toying with worse-case scenarios. For argument's sake, Scoob, what about Spain? Seriously. WHAT IF.......AQ deliberately started bombing the tar out of it, demanding a province or two near the Mediterranean, already heavily populated by Spanish Muslims, for training and operations bases? What would the Spanish government do? Stand up to them? Fight back? Somehow, I don't think so. Again, I think we're blessed that OBL is an engineer by education. If he simply knew more about the West, he'd be able to more effectively torment us. Indeed, we're saved by his lack of training in the Humanities. :thumbup:

PS: What about the Netherlands!?! Now that's a gaping hole in Western Civilization, if there ever was one.

that aint gonna happen pino :thumbup:

i got to laugh at this one lol

While out jogging, I passed a walker. He shouted, "Fascist pig!" I spun around and screamed, "Communist!" He punched me, I hit the deck, and got pulled to my feet by another runner who suddenly appeared. He kicked the walker in the head, hollering, "Long live Bush!" As the walker fell, three more walkers appeared, and started throwing rocks at us, shouting, "Down with fascism! Down with Bush! End fascism now!" Ten more runners came around the corner and joined in. Rocks, bottles and blood flew everywhere. Hundreds of walkers and runners went at it, toe-to-toe. One side hollered, "LONG LIVE JOSEPH STALIN!!!!!!! GO, WARD CHURCHILL, GO!!!!!!", while the other screamed, "VIVA GENERALISIMO FRANCO!!!!! VIVA FRANCO!!!! VIVA LA FALANGE ESPANOLA!!!!!!!" Soon the cops arrived and got pummelled. Next came the Texas National Guard, and hosed us all down with machineguns firing rubber bullets. It hurt. Later, the Mayor called me. He said, "There'll be no more jogging or walking until we get this political hooliganism under control." I bristled with resentment, and said, in my best Clint Eastwood voice, "A man's gotta know his limitations, and you, Punk, ain't gonna stop us fascists from jogging."
