IMO, the terrorists are losing it. Attacking military bases??? What happened to *soft* targets?

Military bases are soft targets. Didn't you know they're guarded by deserters, drug abusers and pot-bellied rent-a-cops? /sarc

I'm sure they considered "visits" to the Cherry Hill Mall, or K of P, as well.

Work you rRosaries, people. One of these times, the Feds won't catch b@stards like these in time.

You might be surprised how soft Fort Dix, NEW JERSEY is. Thanks to the state and the Army, there probably wouldn’t have been a single armed soldier outside the cop shop. Just like Virginia Tech.

Nobody said terrorists have to be the brightest bulbs in the socket. These guys probably wanted to strike a blow for their “oppressed brothers” in Iraq or Afghanistan or Someturdistan, and ended up picking the most convenient place they saw as a symbol of US imperialism or some such drek.

“Albania and the former Yugoslavia”

Odd that they don’t say ‘KOSOVO’ here instead of former Yugoslavia.

My thought is that they figger that the public relations value of hitting military base is much better than attacking a mall, where some of the victims may even be Arabs.

Not totally clear on the concept, are they.
