The big ID terrorist cover
Washington Times ^ | 5-14-07 | Mark Steyn

Most terrorists seem like bumbling losers if they're caught before the act: That's certainly true of the Fort Dix, N.J., jihadists who took their terrorist training DVD to the local audio store to be copied.

It was also true of the Islamists arrested in Toronto last year for plotting to behead the prime minister, one of whose cell members had a bride who wanted him to sign a pre-nuptial agreement committing him to jihad. The Heathrow plotters arrested while planning to blow up U.S.-bound airliners included a Muslim convert who had started out as the son of a British Conservative Party official with a P.G. Wodehouse double-barreled name and a sister who was a Victoria's Secret model and former wife of tennis champ Yanick Noah.

But then Mohamed Atta and the September 11, 2001, gang would have seemed pretty funny if you had run into them in that lap-dance club they went to before the big day. The club girls remembered them only as very small tippers. Most terrorists are jokes until the bomb goes off.

The only way they win is if we become dumber than they are. Electing dems would be one way.

Quite a loving relationship they had.

There were several posters arguing that the Dix6 were incompetents who couldn't have pulled off their plan and that they were just talking big - that the whole thing was blown out of proportion by out-of-control law enforcement agencies trying to scare people.

Which reminds me that the only thing stupid terrorists need to succeed is even stupider citizens around them who don't take them seriously until it is too late.

Electing Rooty Ghoulaini would be another way.

Rooty has a plan for a national ID card, except only foreigners/non citizens would need one.

I wonder how that works when he was the king of sanctuary cities and doesn’t allow anyone to be forced to prove they are here legally?

I guess if the illegals get stopped for anything they can say they don’t need the ID because they are citizens and Rooty will take their word for it?

Rooty is just as stupid as any of the Rats.

Debate on amnesty will happen the next few days, maybe a vote in the Senate. Let then know what you think. I got an email with an 800 # provided by the enemy camp..use it to call your legislooters, because they’ve got a full scale attack going!

The email:

They provide a dedicated 800 number —
1-800-417-7666 —

for connecting to one’s senators. I tried it out Sunday
and, sure enough, after listening to a brief bout of their babble, I was
connected. alternately, to the DC offices
