Why Al Qaeda is Unlikely to Execute Another 9/11
« on: September 01, 2011, 09:58:25 AM »
By Scott Stewart | September 1, 2011

It is Sept. 1, and that means we are once again approaching the anniversary of al Qaeda’s Sept. 11, 2001, attacks against the United States. In the 10 years that have passed since the attacks, a lot has happened and much has changed in the world, but many people can still vividly recall the sense of fear, uncertainty and helplessness they felt on that September morning. Millions of people watched United Airlines flight 175 smash into the south tower of the World Trade Center on live television. A short while later they heard that another plane had struck the Pentagon. Then they watched in horror as the World Trade Center’s twin towers buckled and collapsed to the ground.

I posted the article, but, I feel everyday brings new dangers for Americans as long as Obama's skinny bottom resides at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. ::evil::

I'm not so sure. 'Slims carry out terrorist attacks every damn day. The fact that they haven't hit the US in a high-profile way is a testament to the policies put into place by the George W. Bush administration, not any lack of desire or capability on the part of al Qaeda. It did not require a high level of sophistication. Plane tickets and box-cutters.

While I agree that al Qaeda is greatly weakened as an organization, I think as a movement and a philosophy, it is as dangerous as ever.

We have to keep killing Muslims until the entire rotten Satanic ideology is cowed into submission.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

Obama is just lucky, many attacks since Obama have luckily failed, doesn't mean they were foiled. There are many Jihadists living in America now. If these plants decided to start shooting, it would cause mass hysteria, like this Country has never seen before.

With a border as porous as ours, a Regime indifferent to illegals and morons like Incompetano in charge of security it is not because of a lack of determination in our enemy but by the grace of Almighty God and vigilant citizens we have not been hit again.  But that could change quickly, and these Isslamists don't have to do what they did last time...they just have to get in, plan & organize an attack.  It could be low-intensity/high-volume type stuff or God forbid deployment of WMD's and everything in between...nothing is unthinkable to this scum and entering the country has never been easier.  And remember, this scum has infinite patience to match their infinite hatred of us and of Israel...they will not stop their evil until we wipe out every last one of them!

From a logistical standpoint another airliner type attack is unlikely . Look for something simple and low tech in execution but large in results .

Just think what Jeramie Loughner did with a Glock 9mm? Now imagine 20 Jihadists at 20 different Shopping Malls through out the Country? No we ain't safe, but, one thing is for sure, I am ready. I just hope others are! ::rockets::

Nothing of this kind is necessary.  They're peaceably conquering us from within, with the full help and cooperation of the Ruling Class; why on earth would they risk jeopardizing that with a violent attack that will wake up a multitude of people they'd prefer stay asleep.

Yeah there is that...

But that just makes the work we need to do to flush the deadwood aside that much more important.

That's why I more and more find HIV/AIDS to be the most fitting analogy for what the Left is. They are a form of cultural AIDS. Just like the virus, they don't destroy the host directly, but they weaken its ability to identify and respond to threats, until it eventually succumbs to invaders that would have ordinarily been brushed aside with ease by a healthy immune system.

The unpublished and unmentionable secret is that 85% of all Americans know them for what they are.  
This 85% of America keeps a vigilant eye all day every day and they know it, those that creep across the border know it, those in the cities wearing white shirts and ties know it.  Our wariness to these people is unbounded by political or racial or socio-economic identification and they know it.  They are much more afraid of us than they are of some pauncey flock of bureaucrats badges or not.

"Pauncey"!!! Now these a word ya don't hear everyday!


But the infiltrators know that when the domestic enemies need to disarm the good guys, a shooting spree will fit nicely into the plan. If o is back in, I think well start seeing some bad stuff happening, and the left will say the problems is us[/] and our[/]guns! Those on the right who practice "go along to get along" politics will fall right inline and somebody will try something then complaints of "this is what they want so stop" will be squealed from all sides.

That's my prognostication, but past failures are no Guarantee of future performance!

You're right Dan. Remember the so-called "American al-Qaeda" who recently posted a video instructing jihadis in America to acquire weapons? He parroted every leftist cliche about how you can get fully automatic weapons at gun shows, etc.

But to the point raised about them committing random acts of terror here in America, I have for quite some time now expected that tactic to be used at some point. Look at what they do in Israel, they bomb restaurants, buses, night clubs, and such. Or the shootings at those hotels in Mumbai. Such attacks would be nearly impossible to stop, and could produce mass panic when people feel like going down to the mall or grocery store could make them a target. It would not take more than 2-3 such episodes happening in America to radically change the dynamic, IMO. All the pretenses about it being wrong to stereotype based on race/ethnicity/religion will be out the window, even if the official line remains unchanged. I think people are already intently wary about Middle Eastern looking people, especially in certain contexts like being on a plane or crowded public area. This is what Juan Williams was plainly observing, without any malice or ill intent, and he got fired for it.
