Planes, Trains And Automobiles


The prophet's bobblehead bozos are at it still.

A Jeep Cherokee trailing flames rammed into Glasgow airport on Saturday, shattering glass doors just yards from passengers at the check-in counters. Police said they believed the attack was linked to two car bombs found in London the day before.

Several houses near Glasgow International Airport were searched today and a
fifth arrest was made in connection with the attack on its main terminal. The arrest was in addition to those of the two occupants of a blazing car at Glasgow Airport. A witness to the attack said on BBC television that one of the car’s occupants had been ablaze from head to foot, and as he struggled with the police, “was throwing punches and shouting ‘Allah, Allah.’ ” Five will get you ten he's not a rightwing Christian extremist or Jewish zealot. Saturday night, Sir William Rae, the chief constable of the Strathclyde area around Glasgow, said it was an act of terrorism. What a grasp of the obvious.

Mr. Rae said one of the two men was found to be wearing a “suspicious device” at the hospital where he was being treated, and the hospital was evacuated. Mr. Rae declined to comment on reporters’ suggestions that the assailant — said to be in critical condition — had been wearing an explosive belt. A person with knowledge of the investigation, however, said that the device was a suicide belt, and also that the car contained propane canisters.

If the authorities don't stop worrying about being politically correct eventually we will not be as fortunate as we have been so far. The Dhimmi-witted mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, felt it was necessary to praise Muslims and their passion for peace and tolerance. I certainly hope he has the good fortune to be blessed by it.
