Title: Sort Of What I've Suspected For Quite Some Time Now
Post by: trapeze on August 14, 2011, 12:27:02 AM
I have said on more than one occasion that we have been incredibly fortunate to not have sustained another devastating attack since 9/11. I have also said that we should be grateful for our unimaginative enemies. I can think of at least a dozen different terrorist attacks any one of which would be mind numbingly effective on our population that, so far, these clods have not come close to trying. They don't even show any indication that they can focus their attention anywhere outside of the greater NYC area.

This article (http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/07/the-case-for-calling-them-nitwits/8130/) sheds some light on, among other things, their profound stupidity...

Quote
In Afghanistan, as in many cultures, a manly embrace is a time-honored tradition for warriors before they go off to face death. Thus, many suicide bombers never even make it out of their training camp or safe house, as the pressure from these group hugs triggers the explosives in suicide vests. According to several sources at the United Nations, as many as six would-be suicide bombers died last July after one such embrace in Paktika.

Funny article.

Perhaps as the world's sole economic superpower, it is the responsibility of the United States to fund education and awareness programs for the Afghan people, to teach them safe techniques for embracing when encumbered with explosives.

You know some liberal somewhere is thinking it.

I have one word for those who would think the terrorists stupid: TSA (OK, so it technically isn't a word!). If al-Qa'ida is stupid then the TSA'ers are absolute morons. It is only by the grace of God - and proactive private citizens - that we have not suffered attack. The TSA couldn't find their own azzes with a handbook and a flashlight.

A commenter at the link spoke of the original attack on the Twin Towers. It wasn't exceptionally planned or executed and they left a trail easy enough to be followed by three blind mice. So why didn't we learn? What kind of buffoons must we be to allow them a second (and successful) shot at us?

The anecdotal evidence is staggering - the TSA ignores troublesome islamic suspects in favor of nuns and grandmas. Are nuns and grandmas capable of terroristic acts? Sure. It's also possible for the Earth to shift on its axis and throw us all into another ice age.

I guess it's easier to poke fun at the goofball Achmed than actually do anything to make our lives safer.

...but Muzzies just get waved on through!

 ::gaah::

TSA is more than stupid, and they take their orders from entrenched bureaucrats who get their troughs filled by corrupt Democrat pol's and their willing Ruling Class butt-buddies in the GOP!

We outta do something about that sooner rather than later!

And 'Soup is right, if not for luck and watchful private citizens, we'd be royally screwed!

AQ does, however, seem to have quite a bit of competence when it comes to murdering muslim civilians in places like Iraq. Way to go, dumbasses.

LINK (http://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/iraq-erupts-bombings-dozen-cities-kill-l) to article detailing coordinated bomb blasts in which 60 are killed.
