I'm not so sure about that, but, with the old Vietnam War protest playbook, we are about due for the "Tet Offensive" phase. Terrorists in Iraq are not getting the airtime, and having a few go off here at home might be the game plan, just like the timing of Tet was supposed to show Americans 'how the war was a failure'. Actually, the end result was that VC forces were pretty much rendered combat ineffective after Tet and NVA regulars had to take over. In spite of this, the American MSM bought into the concept of "failure" and continued to push antiwar crap at home with increased vigor.

A few of these incidents, and the media will be spewing about how the WOT is not getting the job done, see, they are right here at home, stop the war and they'll quit, and other such crap.

I think the Muslims involved are using the same communist playbook. There are lots of Muslims right here in the USA, and maybe a few outright jihadis, so it does not even have to be a foreigner...

Good point. My understanding is that Tet was a horrible disaster for the VC -- last operation they were involved in. After that time, the NVA had to pick up the ball and run with it...

Of course, Hanoi Jane and Senator Kerry decided to AID THE ENEMY in any way they could, and help kill more Vietnamese and Americans...

(Just a reminder that Loose lips sinks ships...)
