Terrorist plot in Tennessee foiled
Federal authorities arrested an Iraqi-born Nashville resident on illegal weapons charges.
It was after a sting operation that was set up when Ahmed Al-Uqaily (AH'-mad HAH'-sahn al YOO'-quay-lee) told an acquaintance he wanted to "go Jihad" over the war in Iraq.
FBI terrorism agents arrested the 33-year-old Al-Uquaily after he took possession of two disassembled machine guns, four disassembled hand grenades and hundreds of rounds of ammunition.
Court documents show Al-Uqaily also was interested in getting missiles used to disable tanks.
Authorities said he expressed animosity toward the Jewish community, but did not give specific plans.

How organized are they? I don't know. Will it all be independent, spontaneous action? I think there will be some of that, maybe alot. But I also believe they will have many well organized and planned critical hits prepared to go off during the midst of the other...thereby dividing our resources and distracting us before their dedicated, a-team (if you can call them that) hits.
BTW, my post 37 was in response to the democratic snipes and attacks on GOP offices. I personally do not count those events in the same class as this.
Actually, if Kerry gets his way, we wouldn't be fighting terrorists in our own country with our own guns. The minute some terrorist commits an atrocity using a gun, the Democrats will ban every privately-owned firearm in the U.S. It will be all about how a gun mysteriously caused a terrorist incident -- the left won't question about how terrorists got into the country, or how they got organized, or who is paying them, etc. Americans who defend themselves will be called part of "the culture of violence" and we will be told that if we are passive enough, the terrorists will go away.

In such a horrific scenario as you describe, then we would of necesssity be fighting all domestic enemies in the streets and in the hills at the same time.
They better keep tabs on whomever it was play acting with him wearing the camos.
You might be a redneck jihadist if you get your guns from an FBI sting.
You might be a redneck jihadist if your "war" against America focuses on attacking trailer parks.
You might be a redneck jihadist if your car bomb is in an old pickup truck.

ARTICLE SINPPET: "In the hot sun of yesterday’s languid afternoon here in downtown Nashville, an Iraqi citizen staged a dramatic re-enactment of one of the recent photos of torture from inside the Abu Ghriab prison in Iraq.
Ahmed Al’ Uquaily, a Nashville resident and Iraqi citizen, stood with wires hung around his hands and a black hood over his face. Placards on the sidewalk at his feet showed an enlarged image of the original photograph and a short statement.
His statement read in part: "I am an Iraqi citizen living here in Nashville. I want the US to leave my country. I want all soldiers to go home safely to their family.""

"author: repost al jazerra"
ARTICLE SNIPPET: "Ahmad al-Uqaili, deputy chief of the Human Rights Organization of Iraq, dismissed Bush's promise as a "Republican ploy to win the election in the United States". The problem is not changing the location or the name of the prison, he said, but to end the abuses committed in the prison by both Saddam's regime and US guards."

Now, the only thing Al-Uqaily will be interested in is who is standing behind him in the prison shower when he bends over to pick up his soap.
I'm shocked.
He's got shifty eyes.
And he does resemble Sean Penn.
Glad he got caught, and I hope they don't have early voting in TN.

Coincidence? You make the call.
Don't bet on it.
I think I heard that he had been living here for ten years. Makes you wonder how many more are also quietly planning. This guy lived too close to the airport to suit me.
Obviously, bad genetics. Too much goat blood flows thru his veins.
In your area?
