Taliban Link to Times Square Bomber Grows

Less and less like a random event:

U.S. and Pakistani investigators are giving increased credence to links between Times Square bombing suspect Faisal Shahzad and the Pakistan Taliban, with one senior Pakistani official saying Mr. Shahzad received instruction from the Islamist group’s suicide-bomb trainer.

If the links are verified, it would mark a stark shift in how the Pakistan Taliban—an affiliate of the Taliban in Afghanistan—and related jihadist groups in Pakistan pursue their goals. Until now, they have focused on attacks within Pakistan and in India, not the U.S.

Just showing, once again, that the war is between the United States and Islamo-fascism. They’ll attack others, but their ultimate goal is always to attack us. They don’t call us the “Great Satan” just for the heck of it. They really believe that – and believe that our destruction is a good thing.

As I’ve said, we’ve been lucky during Obama’s tenure – and our luck will not hold forever. We must not only strengthen our defensive measures, but must also toss aside all this politically correct nonsense (“man-caused disasters”, eg) as well as all efforts to “reach out” to people who see us as subhuman scum.

It isn’t a matter of peace or total war – its a matter of recognizing who we fight and why, and acting accordingly. This is not the time for liberal illusions – those illusions will be paid for in human blood, unless we drop them.
