FBI have arrested four men who planned to blow up two synagogues and fire Stingers at the Air National Guard.........Good job

Yeah heard it in the car this morning. It seems the fcukwits bought (inert) IEDs from the FBI and were lifted when they wanted missiles. Why do these idiots think anti aircraft missiles are something you can buy on ebay?

Osama will by turning in his cave!

Offering to supply people with Stinger missiles and C4 doesn't mean that they're terrorists - just that they're extremely stupid.

These must have been Osama's 'special bunch'.

Well that is kind of a given to begin with anyway.

Don't knock it! A thick would-be terrorist is far preferable to a switched-on actual terrorist.

I notice they are charged with intending to use "weapons of mass destruction."

Can any of our US friends define that phrase as in US law ? Obviously it means something a bit different to us (unless they were the nuclear-tipped Stingers).

I concur DB.

A certain bunch of misfits once told Margaret Thatcher that they only had to get lucky once whereas she had to be lucky all the time. Unfortunately, we are in the same boat.
