I tend to believe that Al Qaeda is part of a larger organization, a terror international which includes people from all across the political and religious spectrum who cooperate for the common goal:the destruction of Western civilization.

: "Zawahiri described Al Qaeda as a bunch of grapes — even if you manage to pull off
one grape, you still have a lot more grapes left."


Good, now we know the dimensions of the problem.
There are a finite number of grapes in a bunch.

All we have to do is squeeze them all and destroy (even pre-emptively) any new bunches.

Having watched PBS FrontLine's "Siege of Bethlehem", I can give the nimrods of national
security a hint: the stereotypical American female teenager can't hold a candle
to terrorists when it comes to cell-phone use.

Even if they are products of "The Great Satan".

Each day Mecca comes closer and closer to be nuked and when it is nuked it will throw all these loudmouth primitives into total confusion. Oh..... And also take out the top 100 Jihadist Mosques/Madrassas of the Islamic world via cruise missles. Also Medina and Qum. This is my cruel plan for dealing with cruel Islam.

My take on it is, if you have an Arabic-sounding name, you are the enemy.

Symbolism won't help. They need to be dealt with individually, up close and personal. The terrorist handbooks state you should be in physical shape, a good marksman, and good at martial arts. I think this is good advice for every American as well.

In the end, we'll have to find them all and kill them all. Period.

There's no getting around that salient fact.

Be Seeing You,

the more centralized network once led by Osama bin Laden,

The dude is still in Afghanistan, hiding underground with his body temperature carefully matched to that of the surrounding rocks in order to fool infrared detectors.

"What we're seeing now is a radical international jihad that will be a potent force for many years to come."

A Militia, well organized, will be our salvation.

Symbolism will be a very good start. Same for turning Mecca to glass. Why fight all the Muslims when there is a (very) good chance you can demoralize them by doing it my way.

I say that Muslims consider their bloody Jehadis to be the Islamic nobility. They who can conquer and are well versed in how to strike fear into the heart of the non-Muslim.

Not to mock, but upon reading your post, my first thought was "S.P.E.C.T.R.E."

And among those in that network are American-born muslim-converts like Padilla. We're going to have to recognize who the enemy is. They are just "terrorists." They are radical Islamists. We need to call them by name.

And to make himself even harder to find, he's stopped breathing and spread his atoms out among those rocks.

I guess that nitwit hasn't heard that when America harvests grapes it does so by the megaton.

Yes! Al Queda = SPECTRE. Fiction becomes fact, sometimes. The line between art and reality is blurry.
