Are they targeting expensive homes and big insurance in California?

Setting forest fires would be a strategic blunder on a par with Napoleon and Hitler invading Russia.

Think it through ... they would alienate the environmentalists, and there would be hell to pay. Waterboarding would be the least of their worries.

They had better stick to killing people. The left can rationalize that away.

They’ll have to wait until next summer, because dry tinder is a scarcity from now until at least the middle of next year, unless they just want to burn down California.

[RetiredArmy]

Good, start with Chicago. It has a great history of burning to the ground.

Let’s light a fire in his cave.

As a resident of Southern California, and seeing firsthand the amount of destruction one or two loose nuts can do when the Santa Ana winds blow, I have long dreaded the possibility of such an attack. These guys fight asymmetrical warfare. 19 fanatics with box cutters and flight training struck a huge blow.
It would be a lot easier to commit arson on a grand scale, with just a tad of coordination, when the conditions are ripe.

Thanks to Babbits’ roadless iniative they’ll be much more effective. What are ‘’public servants’’ for.

Well now that Obama is president, the whole world loves us, and Al Queda just won’t have the heart to bomb us.
And if worse comes to worse, Obama will just have to have a talk with Ossama. That should do it.

I propose beating out any and all future forest fires with the nearest convenient Muslim. They are chock full of fire-extinguishing liquids.

[TribalPrincess2U]

Ah now this is really gonna piss Oprah off.

[Fresh Wind]

His Obamic Holiness will save us, won’t he?

[willk]

Why would Al Qaeda want to risk making their friends on the left mad at them? Doesn’t make any sense. The environmentalists would want to slap Osama. That’s right, slap him and then slap him on the other side of his face (sorry only South Park fans will get this).

I am certainly no expert but this seems highly implausible. To have a major forest fires I think you need certain conditions which don’t exist in Europe or in most of the US. The forest has to be extremely dry for a long period and those conditions don’t exist in most of Europe or the US. Not sure about Australia.

War is fire ... it has always been fire ... firepower ... fire arms ... fire when ready ... fire!!!! ... and when the boss gets pissed off enough, “You’re fired!” Therms are therms.

Palesimians tried this in israel in the Jewish national Forest in the 90s. They were ultimately thwarted.
