They just got a different tool to use than we do: They kill innocent lives to achieve objectives. That's what they do. And they're good. They get on the TV screens and they get people to ask questions about, well, you know, this, that or the other. I mean, they're able to kind of say to people: Don't come and bother us, because we will kill you. Bush - Joint News Conference with Blair - 28 July '06

"Bomb Blair" scholar is just like my Dad

db: There is a new sport beginning to appear in the UK - it's rules are quite simple and they do not require any special skills or abilities.. Tabloid journalists are the sport's main proponents. It's called Make-the-Muslim-say-something-stupid [then splash it on the front page as though it's news].

So he said Bomb Downing Street - so what? My Dad is 79 and is full of insights like 'Blair? String him up' or 'Blair? he should be assassinated' or 'Blair? I CANT STAND THE MAN' Are we going to arrest my old dad too? And if not is that because he is not a Muslim or because he hasn't had a dickhead from the Sun camped on his doorstep provoking him for the last eight weeks.

My Dad's definition of 'Britishness' includes his right to threaten treason, murder and assassination where and when the fancy takes him - subject to blood-sugar levels and the timing of his last visit to the loo.
