I couldn’t agree more.

I think the FBI “acted stupidly” in this case. As was true in the Gates affair, the forces of the law inappropriately “profiled” an innocent “person of color.”

They are also idiots to be training as soldiers. The 9/11 hi-jackers didn't need any serious mil-type training. The rest wouldn't need it if they hadn't pissed us off so much and left us capable of responding.

Their training camps are a waste of time, effort and money. They attract attention and provide a way of gathering intel on them and locating them, their sponsors and their money sources. They can't possibly win in any battlefield situation outside of the odd circumstance. Our ROEs are their biggest advantage.

If they had hit us the way I described, and been quietly invisible within their own societies (and ours), they could have followed up with a different strategy. One that had been pre-planned and employed shortly thereafter.

I would give the Crips or MS-13 gangs more credit for intelligent strategy and deployment.
