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.

This was only the JV team — the real team is watching in the background and taking notes.

... local SWAT won’t hire them. They prefer shooting dogs to eating them.

Practicing Muslims would no sooner touch a dog than you would plunge your hand into a lump of steaming cow pat. Their enthusiasm for eating dog is the same as yours for eating roaches. In Islam, dogs are vermin. The fact that Obama ate dog isn't evidence that he's a Muslim - it's evidence that if he ever was a Muslim, he's not much of one. A Muslim who eats dog is like a Jew who eats pork - a nominal one.

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.

Interesting...thanks.
Hmmm...abandoned American military equipment, Benghazi inventory, missing mh370, opposing troops were stripped to underwear (where are the uniforms?) prior to being murdered...ISIS/ISIL/IS is certainly accumulating quite the inventory with which to veil their next incursions.

Long War Journal: Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent claims 2 attacks in Pakistan

Both of AQIS' claimed attacks serve to illustrate Mahmoud's point. According to the group, Brigadier Zahoor and the Pakistani Army are "puppet[s]" of the US. And the group's second attack was thwarted by Pakistani security forces, who prevented AQIS from attacking American warships.

Perhaps straight up the gang plank. So that classic order “Prepare to repel boarders!” shouldn’t be retired just yet.

Well, remember, the United States' first encounter with Muslims was on the water, when we fought with the Barbary Pirates. They are about whom it is sung, "to the shores of Tripoli", in the Marine fight song.

We can sure do it again, if necessary.
