If you see something, say something

I’ve been keeping an eye on the Internet forums and chat rooms used by Islamic terrorists for many, many years now and am well aware of certain patterns within these channels of distribution. Patterns are better known as “Chatter,” and specific chatter is what one focuses on when investigating the various channels of distribution of these communiqués.

Notably, in the last five days the amount of materials related to homemade explosives, VBIED’s [Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Devices], details on blowing up buildings, bridges and various infrastructure are up by about 400% - 500% over normal rate. ...

Despite what she says about buildings, it is less than likely that they will use them on soft targets. If they used them on masses of people they would cause more problems in the U.S.

If they set off several over a day or two in the U.S. they would cause real problems. Major roads in congested areas, near malls and at hotels, cities during rush hour in the mornings and evenings, by schools etc would cause government applied rules that then would to cause problems with traffic flow etc in the major U.S. cities.

That is the more likely target for them, IMHO.

Now that the chosen one has been elected we do not have to worry about terrorists any more. Peace will spread throughout the world once Bushitler is in the Hague and all Guantanimo freedom fighters are released form the torture they have endured.

When the next attack happens, the look on Obama’s face would be funny, if it didn’t come after the deaths of many innocent Americans.

You mean like they shied away from mass casualties in Mumbai?

[JSteff]

“more” likely was what I meant. Given what the actual article said, if you read it, the “chatter” on the terrorists sites said was about making VBIED’s for buildings.

Given what the fastest method using VDIED’s would be is probably less likely a building, at least inside a building like in WTC-I was.

So I would think it would be a VBIED they would use in a public place like I mentioned. Just a guess, but makes the most sense.

[john in springfield]

Ah. So you mean they would more likely be used against crowds.

I think I’d have to agree.

I don’t know about terrorist chatter but all my drinking buddies have been asking about how to make stuff that makes biggum noise.

For logical reasons I will not care to explicitly detail anything but it appears to me that a lot of people in other forums in the US are asking the same thing.

Beats pitchforks I guess.

I’d......um.......tread very lightly with such talk, my FRiend.

[Eye of Unk]

I know.

Interstate 35 in Denton County Texas was closed down in both directions this past Wednesday evening because of what initially was described as a grenade on an overpass. It was later described as a “shell”. Test run??

[kendwell]

Wonder whar % of your noted increase is directly related to news of new contract/product development? Altho that may be “chatter” it would not be notable.

My guess is that they are trying to dampen Zeros coronation. Not that it needs any dampening amongst the fine folks here.
