August 10, 2006Liquid explosives Primer. Just a plot against Lamont!Interesting article here giving background on the latest WMD: A more subtle approach would be to combine two or more liquids that are stable by themselves, but which form a powerful explosive when mixed together. A prime candidate for this would be triacetone triperoxide (TATP), the explosive used by the July 7 bombers. Its two raw ingredients are both liquids, which could potentially be carried on board in sufficient quantities in containers such as bottles of shampoo or contact lens solution. These could then be mixed in a toilet to make TATP, which is a crystalline white powder. The problem here is that the solid has to be dried before it becomes a reliable explosive. It can also be difficult to detonate, as attested by the failure of the attempted suicide attacks on London on July 21 last year. To no one’s surprise, the so-called “reality based” community says there is no terror threat, and all of this is about taking attention off of Lamont’s win over Lieberman. Got that? Let people know that this is what they think. It’s important to get that info out there. Mary Katharine Ham dares to go read the crap they’re writing. Last Monday a flight from UK to Boston was turned around. Ace wonders if this thing was connected. Harry Reid wastes no time in politicizing this event. That’s leadership for you. Pajamas Media has news as it breaks. Malkin, of course has the stuff. I don’t know why but this story bothers me more than anything - perhaps because it is here, and “on the ground.” And, like others, I am reminded of Operation Bojinka. Lorie Byrd has massive links and play-by-play RELATED: http://theanchoressonline.com/2006/08/10/liquid-explosives-just-a-plot-against-lamont-2/trackback/ 4 Responses to “Liquid explosives Primer.

Hey Anchoress, I got a job for you.
I’m thinking somebody needs to rise above the bickering and sniping in the blogosphere and start talking the old ,i>”let us beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great
and noble undertaking” stuff.
‘Cause whether we like it or not, we got some fighting to do.
I think you sure could help rally a confused, divided and frightened country.

UK ‘Home Grown’ Terrorist Plot Thwarted (UPDATED)
I shall be eagerly waiting for the theories of the learned left who will immediately begin with their conspiracy theory mongering, ranging from the timing of the breaking news being in question, to dismissing any possibility that airplanes as ‘flying …

To no one’s surprise, the so-called “reality based” community says there is no terror threat, and all of this is about taking attention off of Lamont’s win over Lieberman.
So, like, if Rove had pulled this rabbit out of his hat a week ago, then Lieberman would have gotten less than 80% of the vote?
Sometimes you really just need a :rolleyes: emoticon and nothing else will do.
