Anybody remember all that GUANO we heard from assorted liberals, Islamic 'cultural' specialists, and other handwringers including State Department pansies, that we had better not roll forward with military action during so-called "Ramadan"? See, right here you have the enemy engaged in positioning their forces at the same time bleeding hearts in our own countries would handcuff our boys (and girls) in the field. Disgusting.
It also reported the Asian targets were to be: USA, Israel and Australia, all with diplomatic or military facilities in Singapore. They had decided to pack quite a punch. Probably would have made the USS Cole look like kids' play.....
The government position is apparently meant to prevent the lucrative tourism industry from being hit even though the popular beach destinations of Phuket and Koh Samui are hundreds of miles from Yala, Pattani and Narathiwat.
On Monday, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra told reporters: "Thailand is not a target for terrorists, so don't worry about the reports that there is some terrorist movement in the south."
People die, things blow up, but not to worry: it's not al Quaeda, so it's not terrorism. Now where have I heard this reasoning before?
The only training I read about was where they would look into the the night vision, spot a hostile and train their sights on his shoulderblades. Live fire training on living subjects. Hey but it's training ok, so lay off. L-O-L.
Why does no one question this glaring inconsistancy in the propaganda of the enemy??
Most Muslims whine that they only kill innocent people because the dirty joooooos are occupying their land....
So, this groups justifies a hostile takover of the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia.....how? Same inconsistancy applies to the attempted hostile Muslim takeover of the Balkans.
If they win, THEY will be the dirty occupiers of the land....won't they? Don't THEY wanna be exactly what they accuse Israel of being...only on a much larger scale?
OH, the paradoxes.
I wonder what interrogation methods were used.
