Monte reflects on Chuck Cadman's work in Parliament
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing -- Edmund Burke
The London Bombings
"Grit Sen. Colin Kenny says it's only a matter of time before Canada will be terrorized. Now he says it's a race against time to get the country's 'security, intelligence and military capabilities up before the terrorists do something bad here."
"The Manhattan District Attorney's office has opened a criminal investigation into the former head of the U.N. oil-for-food program, Benon Sevan, the DA's office has just confirmed for the first time to The New York Sun.
"I do not know if, as some commentators have suggested, the Iranians were involved in the London bombings, but it really does not matter, for Iran is the most potent force in the terror network, from which the killers in London undoubtedly drew succor. As of 9/11, the terror masters were five: Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia. Today they are three, which is certainly good work on our part. But it isn’t nearly good enough. We cannot possibly have decent security in Iraq unless we end the murderous tyrannies in Tehran and Damascus, and convince or compel the Saudi royal family to shut down the global network of terrorist brainwashing centers they spend billions of dollars to operate.
"In conclusion, while many details are still obscure about yesterday’s attacks in London, the elements for such an attack have long been in place across Britain. The asylum awarded jihadists by that country may be just one of its dangerous flaws in the fight against Islamic extremism. Islamists have long harnessed the ability to wage jihad across the globe from Britain, and the recent attacks are no more than a natural evolution of that process."
"We can only conclude that they're adapting to new anti-terrorism initiatives, perhaps even becoming more skilled at their terrorist black arts, especially in terms of operations and communications security.

" The London bombings also were a wake-up call to Canada -- arguably the safest of all Western targets, thanks to our soft approach as an incubator for terrorism.
