Watch the Media Discount Terrorism

The breaking news tonight has 2 commercial aircraft crashing simultaneously in Russia. Late updates indicate that the hijacking signal was triggered in one of the planes.

Now, unless you're a liberal in America your first suspicion should be of terrorism as the cause. Of course there is a "civil war" going on in Chechnya that is a likely source. However, I've already made the connections on this blog of Al Qaida operating in Chechnya in their quest to export Jihad. The second section of the "9/11 Commission Report" confirms that Al Qaida connection and operation in Chechnya.

However, expect the liberals including the mainstream media to immediately start discounting any Al Qaida involvement. I'll give them 8 hours from now and I should start hearing stories about the "separatists" in Chechnya that downplay Al Qaida.

Why? Several reasons. First and foremost is that liberals really didn't learn the lessons of 9/11 and really don't believe there is a terrorist threat to worry about. Oh, they give lip service to it. But they don't really believe it. They don't believe that Al Qaida is operating in Western countries. Surely not in "enlightened" countries like Russia that opposed our liberation of Iraq.

Also because it does not help them in their quest to unseat a wartime President who they've been accusing for a year now about lying about Al Qaida's operations outside of Afghanistan.

This is not a difficult prediction, by the way. Unfortunately it's way too easy.
