Jihad breathes down the West's neck - today's edition

File under: Yikes!

POLICE and special forces troops have been told to prepare for up to 10 simultaneous terror attacks on the streets of London. 
The National Crime Agency has been ordered to make a crackdown on firearms a priority amid fears of a Paris-style attack by terrorists returning from Syria. 
A minister familiar with the proposals said: “We used to plan for three simultaneous attacks but Paris has shown that you need to be ready for more than that. We are ready if someone tries with seven, eight, nine, ten.” 
Army regiments outside London are also on standby to help the SAS and Metropolitan police in the event of a multiple target attack. 
This will continue until jihad is defeated.

  1. I would think most everyone hopes they're wrong. You won't have to keep me posted, though, if it happens it will be obvious and the rest of the sane world will continue to try to do something about it, perhaps not always your way, but, well, maybe someday.

  2. I wouldn't pull the terror alert or the police for sure. Do you want our military bases on high alert so they can rush right out and carpet bomb civilians too?

  3. Anything less than whatever it takes to defeat our enemies is the same as doing nothing.

  4. OK generalissimo.

    I think that people want peace so much that one of these days government had better get out of their way and let them have it. Dwight D. Eisenhower

  5. Ike pulled us out of the Korean debacle and there was little "to do" about it. JFK was about ready to pull us out of Nam with a lot littler "to do" than eventually erupted.

  6. And that Korean armistice has led to a real nice current set of circumstances, hasn't it?

    So are you saying that Ike had regrets about leading the D-Day campaign?

  7. No, did I even come close to saying that? That was the Big One. Hopefully the last Big One and it has been so for half a century. Are you saying Ike was wrong about Korea?

  8. Yes. We've lived with the constant menace of North Korea because we didn't defeat it in the early 1950s.

  9. He was simply and obviously trying to prevent WW III. We are still trying. Maybe not the way you'd do it, if Cheney-Rummys' ways were right to you. We still have to live and deal with China. After that we went on to what was thought that little blip of Nam. We misjudged the tenacity of their people who never gave up despite our dropping more fire power on them and their environment than all the bombs dropped by the Allied forces in WW II. You know the story. Yet you blame the peaceniks who had a large roll in stopping conscription, then withdrawing. And they haven't bothered us since.

  10. Cruz wants to “carpet bomb” ISIS and find out whether “sand can glow in the dark.”

    1.Carpet-bombing ISIS while leaving civilians unharmed is contradictory.
    2.His hyperbolic rhetoric and “aggressive posturing” suggest an attitude toward the use of force at odds both with international law and with what the Department of Defense teaches its professional military.
    3.Cruz’s mention of “carpet bombing” makes him appear both strategically and tactically out of touch with how the U.S. military actually fights wars these days.
