Why is this story identified as satire when it represents exactly as the jihadist think?
This was great satire but I’m of the inclination it’s probably true:
“An integral component of the tunnel building effort included generous aid from the United States. “The hundreds of millions of dollars the United States has given us freed up funds for the tunnel construction,” Meshal bragged. “So while the United States is nominally pro-Israel on the surface we feel confident that President Obama’s vow to stand with the Muslims is our insurance of a favorable outcome.”
Well... the same could be said of just about every one of John's satire threads.
It may not be what they would say publicly, but their actions show that they think it.
