What a shock! I suspected Mormons.
The JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOS did it.
or catholics
Or "youths".
What is the chance that all of the attackers were Middle-Eastern young males between the ages of 18-40?
Thought I'd ask.
AQ must be really desperate if they're attacking their safe havens. Their strategy of war by attrition in Iraq has failed. Now we see them employing a strategy designed to foment civil war. This will ultimately fail as well. Liberty, once achieved, is seldom surrendered.
Probably the Danes.
Skin heads. Nazis, dirty commies, maoist, chicoms, boneheads, idiots, Jacko, goons, but nobody will point the finger at the hump backed grave digger who dropped the brain on the floor then grabed the flask with the brain marked criminal brain. This is probably the guy behind this latest attack.
... or maybe self aware computers? or maybe it was Dave?
We have to remember Abu has preached all along that all the monarchs and kings and governments in the ME must fall, and a pure caliph state be created. al-Qaeda is against all forms of secular ran regiems. They want pure Sharia law to run the muslim countries. The Saudi monarchs wealthy from western money are a polar opposite to what al-Qaeda wants.
"What a shock! I suspected Mormons."
Nah, we're too busy marrying multiple wives and holding punch and green jello mixers to get involved in something like this. Kidding on the first one. We don't do that anymore.
AQ is hoping that the masses will rise up in support of them. Attacking the Saudi gov't is Helter-Skelter AQ-style. The attack isn't the goal- the goal is the uprising they anticipate.
I think the thing we might be overlooking is that even Saudi Arabia is not a safe haven for al-qaida anymore.
They're getting pinned down. The frontier areas of Pakistan are the best place to hide. Otherwise, it's down to Syria, Iran, and a few neighborhoods in Iraq.
AQ keeps trying the same tactics and getting the same result: They are not gaining popular support- they are turning it against themselves. This is the definition of insanity. And failure.
As to the ME, true. Africa, Indonesia and the Phillipines are also havens, of sorts. The WOT is being fought there as well but one thing is for certain--there's been a huge effin' dent put into their operations. That said, I'm glad they have gone after SA. It will make the House of Saud more resolute (putting aside the sympathizers within said House) and they don't have the ACLU, MSM and 'rat party holding them back...
Seems to me that a while back some stupid minister in Saudi Arabia said their problems with terrorists was solved and that ther were no more in that craphole of a kingdom.
At least it wasn't the Yobs or the Hooligans!
