Terror on the high seas

One of the most disturbing reports I've read this week comes off the coast of Gaza, where a small ship of international terrorists was apprehended by Israeli authorities before delivering instruments of war to Palestinians. 



Terrorists.


I'm no expert on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but folks, it's times like these when I breathe a sigh of relief knowing that it's not only the United States of America fighting the War on Terror.


Mikael Löfgren, the media coordinator for the ship, Estelle, began lying through his teeth on the Al-Jazeera news network, claiming that the cargo consisted of:


 "... footballs and cement and musical instruments and children's books..."

he added:


"and we have visited like 20 ports around Europe. And in every port we have been ... very open to the public and to the media  and to the authorities to come and inspect our cargo."


Ok, here's my first issue: 


When Löfgren says "footballs," he is clearly NOT referring to the conical pigskins you toss around in the backyard. Grounds for suspicion? 


Yes.


Second issue:


 Löfgren claims that the Estelle had visited roughly 20 European ports before attempting to reach Gaza, all of which were allowed to inspect the cargo.


20 European ports.


20


Folks, this is the most disturbing fact of the entire story. Not only did this terrorist plot come so close to fruition, but the ENTIRE EUROPEAN UNION aided and abetted it!


I'm reminded of my favorite quote on terrorism:


"Our war on terror begins with Al Qaeda, but it does not end there. It will not end until every terrorist group of global reach has been found, stopped, and defeated."                                                                                                                
- George W. Bush

If only President Bush knew the clairvoyance with which he spoke over a decade ago.


If anyone needs to contact me, I'll be seeking asylum at the American consulate in Paris.



Note: One of the terrorists in question was in fact an Israeli citizen. Read his declaration of war here
