California doesn't need any help causing catastrophic wild fires.

They could eliminate the threat by controlled burns of dead brush.. but noooooooo.. they cater to the Envirementals (Communists who want to bring our Country down) demands.

Not to mention targeting the drug cartels that have their labs in those woods...

Well lets face it, these a**hole lunatics know how to cause chaos. If true, it would cause more damage in bringing down our already troubled economy which is what they are trying to do.

Electrical facilities, forest fires, transportation hubs, water filtration plants, suicide bombings.... there is no end. The stage is, in fact, being set for our nation’s conquering. Financial Industry uprooted, Insurance companies in despair, transportation companies barely surviving after 9-11.... US Government running out of money...

I say ... desperate times call for desperate measures. Can’t we just seal the damn borders and find out who is here!

---The fires would also create a pollution disaster, with billions tons of climate change gases escaping into the atmosphere. --

--hogwash--

Not to minimize this threat which is very significant, but this just proves how effective George W. Bush’s administration has been in keeping the homeland safe, even from something as readily available as a book of matches.

>One message warns: “Imagine if, after all the losses caused by such an event, a jihadist organization were to claim responsibility for the forest fires. You can hardly begin to imagine the level of fear that would take hold of people in the United States, in Europe, in Russia and in Australia.”?

I'd say it's more likely to spark anger than fear. Enough anger to call for wiping them all out.

If al Qaeda were to pursue this it would be out of character for them. They have always favored dramatic terror with simple media appeal—explosions, many dead, all in a few minutes. High drama with a cascade effect to follow. Worldwide forest fires? I dunno.

[NorseWood]

But they would be burning up all the illegal marijuana crops in the National Forests. See the following link from earlier today

Cooperating for national security reasons, the press showed great restraint in not publishing balloon bomb incidents.

With the press of circa 2008, we'd be reading this in Japanese, and it would be a story about the horrible atrocities of Doolittle's raiders.

[Don Corleone]

expected strike date...12/21/12..

[sphinx]

Setting forest fires would be a strategic blunder on a par with Napoleon and Hitler invading Russia.

Think it through ... they would alienate the environmentalists, and there would be hell to pay. Waterboarding would be the least of their worries.

They had better stick to killing people. The left can rationalize that away.

They’ll have to wait until next summer, because dry tinder is a scarcity from now until at least the middle of next year, unless they just want to burn down California.

[RetiredArmy]

Good, start with Chicago. It has a great history of burning to the ground.

“I’d say it’s more likely to spark anger than fear. Enough anger to call for wiping them all out.”

At least here in the U.S.

[Raebie]

“link not dead, link alive! you not alive! link find you and do bad thing; link not bad !”

That has to be the funniest thing I’ve read all week.

Let’s light a fire in his cave.

As a resident of Southern California, and seeing firsthand the amount of destruction one or two loose nuts can do when the Santa Ana winds blow, I have long dreaded the possibility of such an attack. These guys fight asymmetrical warfare. 19 fanatics with box cutters and flight training struck a huge blow.
It would be a lot easier to commit arson on a grand scale, with just a tad of coordination, when the conditions are ripe.

[Waco]

Thanks to Babbits’ roadless iniative they’ll be much more effective. What are ‘’public servants’’ for.

[Cyclops08]

Well now that Obama is president, the whole world loves us, and Al Queda just won’t have the heart to bomb us.
And if worse comes to worse, Obama will just have to have a talk with Ossama. That should do it.

[aWolverine]

I propose beating out any and all future forest fires with the nearest convenient Muslim. They are chock full of fire-extinguishing liquids.
