I heard it on Fox News but we have to start with the possibility that their info was wrong. But I have heard all day that the packages were addressed to specific locations. Jewish centers in Chicago. That sounds like the intended target not an intermediate jihadi.
True. Which is why I surmised the possibility of an intercept. But, what’s the likelihood of that?
None of it adds up. Could it be an abstract warning for an attack not on synagogues, but somewhere else? I’m just not buying the wag the dog scenario. There were too many players here: Saudi intelligence, Dubai, Yemen, and Britain.
I keep reminding myself that AQ has a fetish for returning to the scene of past failed attempts. And Times Square comes to mind - Thanksgiving Day Parade....
I am beginning to think the administration is handling this no better than they handled the underwear bomber. It seems the only lesson learned was get obie in front of the camera ASAP.
PR and public perception is top of the list instead of our security. They do not want Obama to take the beating he did Christmas. Not with the election days away.
