The Brits beg to differ -- and note they are extending their reach.

Investigators examining the bungled terrorist attacks in London and Glasgow six months ago believe the plotters had a link to Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia, which would make the attacks the first that the group has been involved in outside of the Middle East, according to senior officials from three countries who have been briefed on the inquiry.

The evidence pointing to the involvement of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia includes phone numbers of members of the Iraqi group found on the plotters’ cellphones recovered in Britain, a senior American intelligence official said.

Now i realize that the Left in this country considers these terrorists to be the equivalent of our founding fathers. It might, however, come as a shock to such idiots that George Washington never targeted enemy civilians. And while folks like John Paul Jones did harry British shipping within sight of the British Isles, such efforts were conducted within the rules of warfare commonly accepted during that era -- and would generally be deemed acceptable under today's more legalistic system.

Maybe we need a couple of bombings in this country to wake the Left up to the fact that we are at war for the survival of civilization, not for the partisan advantage of the Democrats.
