(Note to self: rethink plans to storm American aircraft carriers.)
Doh!
Of course walking by an aircraft carrier you might mistake it for a very large building.
An aircraft carrier could use a frigate for a life boat.
...and so they said, “Frigate! Ships is ships...”
attacking the wrong ship... they could get jobs as local SWAT officers...
Impossible. Al qaeda is on the run. You all heard obama say so.
I'm thinking we should tie up half a dozen jon boats at a dock in India, then hang signs on them saying "Poorly defended American aircraft carrier." Then when the wackjobs go all Allah Akbar, we can shoot them like clay pigeons.
Newbies ?
Ally-Ooop-Fubar!
GREAT BIG SHIP full of armed and angry Marines and enough Airborne Urban Renewal (Read: Cobra Attack Helicopters) to level downtown Detroit.
Vs.
Itty Bitty Ship with small deck crew and sailors far away from their Battle Stations.
There’s a choice here?
>>>An Al Qaeda group just established in India have bungled their first mission.
>>>The terrorists tried to storm what they thought was an American aircraft carrier in Karachi.
I don’t understand link with India here. Karachi is in Pakistan, these terrorist must have got training in Paki frigate. They did according to practice.
Al-Queda announcement was in Air/sorry in sea to appease Paki Army/Navy.
I bet that the marines on that aircraft carrier will be on full alert wherever the ship moors.
Including at any of the US ports.
After all, ISIS is present wherever Muslims are, even if they are ‘peaceful’.
If they did attack our aircraft carrier, I am assuming there would not be any terrorists alive to be arrested. They should be grateful they are stupid.
According to informed sources, the attack was carried out entirely by serving Navy personnel, along with Owais Jakharani, a former Navy cadet who could have been given access inside without too much trouble.
“It seems the intention was to hijack PNS Zulfiqar [a frigate purchased from China and inducted in July 2009],” said one of these sources. “The group of would-be hijackers, led by a senior officer, was even saluted by the guard at the bottom of the gangway, before another became suspicious of their intentions and alerted other personnel.”

I knew it. It was Paki operation.
An Allahu akhbar fubar.
