If you're correct & this Lodi cell is a significant threat, and I do "put myself in their shoes", then I can think of a Target of Opportunity that would make sense.
Dare I say it & give them an idea?...or can I reasonably rely upon our finest in Homeland Security to have already thought of it?
It's obvious to the casual observer driving on I-5 south of Pea Soup Anderson's...
It supplies millions in the Los Angeles Basin with a vital ingredient of daily Basin life...
Disruption or contamination would likely result in widespread fear, panic & possible chaotic overreaction...
The California Aquaduct, of course. There, I said it. And you're right, there would be nothing silly about an credible attack on that. Allah may be stuck in Lodi...again...for a devious reason.
But I've been supportive of our present objectives in Iraq (as I perceive them) since the git-go. Gradually, one-by-one & house-to-house we will kill every al Qaida supporter who doesn't kill themself first...right down to Osama-llama-ding-dong...
A total deterrent to radical Jihadists...as each one killed is FOREVER deterred from further, radical activity...
You'll NOT receive an argument from me! :) Our military is the BEST!
The water? Yeah....we've all discussed that. NOT a pleasant thought, is it, to say the least.
