There are several reasons why I'm not scared of the Al-Qaeda navy:

If the AQ navy? gets anywhere near our shores, they will join Kaga, Akagi, Hiryu, Soryu, Yamato and Musashi at the bottom of the sea.

So after an explosives laden ship pulls up next to a cruise liner or navel ship, you're going to detonate it with a missle? Al Qaida would hate that. Not!

Yes, I understand that Farrah likes to spread the hype, except that this story has appeared elsewhere (of al-Qaida's flotilla).

The problem with all of our weapons is that the al-Qaida navy will not look like this:

But it could likely look more like this:

or much bigger of course...

...or this:

Neither of these types of vessels have had much difficulty crossing borders anywhere. We read of Chinese illegal immigrants making it right to US Shores, never mind the myriad of such landings in Europe.

But the al-Qaida creeps might go for an easier target that couldn't possibly avoid them...

Suppose they planned on using their 15 pitiful little ships to sink 15 Ocean Liners in one day... couldn't happen?
Both of the above types of ships can get very close to ocean liners like this. Even 15 at a time. Al-Qaida might even have a better disguise...

Nah, they wouldn't dare...

If you can find them first. They won't be making any advance announcements of their arrival.
