They still want to kill us? Duhhh...

I work in the travel biz, so naturally I have been slammed with work since early yesterday morning when the news broke about the airliner terror plot in the UK, and haven't had time to blog till now. But even so, I really don't have that much to say about it except to express my agreement with what Major P at Op-For had to say on Thursday:

By now I assume all in our listening audience have seen the reports on the UK airline plot. Shocked and surprised, are you? You shouldn't be. This is all dog-bites-manstuff. The sole rational individual reaction should be anger first, then a brief sigh of relief, and then cold calculated rage. A similar electoral reaction ought to follow as well, but we'll see about that. This is a war, folks, and it is being fought on many fronts. Don't mistake it for anything else but WAR.

Indeed, this is war. The only thing which surprises me is that five years after 9/11, six years after the USS Cole attack, eight years after the Embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania, ten years after the Khobar Towers attack, and 13 years after the WTC bombing, there are STILL people who don't comprehend that we are at war.
