You got that right. When I think of the hundreds of millions of dollars available to the terrorists, and the thousands of people willing to die for the cause, and the tens of millions of supporters,plus the unawareness of the targeted infidels, and the lack of ability of the infidels to defend themselves, or take action against the Muslim killers, or identify the problem (Islam) -I have concluded we are lucky to have such incompetent people trying to kill us.>
They even made there move on us years too early without having established cells for future attacks in this country.
We were clueless and had they waited about 3 more years we could really have been in trouble.
I can think of many inexpensive terrorist operations that could be done easily. I am sure many Freepers can also. Like you, I don't want to give them any ideas either.
I remember when the attacks started I said to my wife, they can't possibly have any infidel white traitors advising them because they made major bungles in the way they went after us Infidels especially the way they came after us Americans.
We should be thankfull for their - incompetence. - tom
Thanks good post CT. You are so right on.
I agree that they moved too soon.
But they most likely thought (incorrectly) that Bush would be as ineffective as Clinton was.
They misunderestimated him!
"When I think of the hundreds of millions of dollars available to the terrorists, and the thousands"
The thing that still terrifies me when looking back on the Sep 11th event, is the cost. Effectivley, the attack cost them the cost of a few couple of dollar box cutters, 20 airfares, a microsoft flight simulator computer 'game', 4 or 5 people breifly attending flight school, a couple of hotel nights for them each plus the expense of getting into the USA.
Now, looking at that you realise that you don't need the resources of multmilion dollar networks of organised laundered funds to rock the world to the core. In fact thinking about the above I realise that I as in individual could fund maybe 60 or 70 such attacks and I am no rich Arab. I remember in the mid 90s reading papers on the coming age of assymetric warfare, but even in these I don't think they quite foresaw the magnitude of what could be done so comparitvley easily.
Likewise the London attacks that hit us last year were costed at around a few hundred pounds. Well within the means of anyone with nothing more than determination to their starting locker kit.
Scary world.
They can still get in with minimal problems via Mexico.
