One jihadist in the Army - 12 dead, 31 wounded.
One jihadist on a submarine - 100+ dead.
One jihadist on an aircraft carrier - hundreds dead?
Which leads me to believe one of two things, maybe both:
a) Since they read Arabic, they found him online and an international terrorist connection;
or
b) they had some call ins immediately from Maryland and elsewhere who knew the guy personally and reported how devoted of a Sunni fanatic he was, and they (C.A.I.R.) read the tea leaves and moved to batten down the hatches with utmost urgency.
Very curious, that one.
Even I found an Arabic language Middle East newspaper source that called the guy a Muslim right in the opening paragraph. Sheesh. And the US media at that time?? Still PSTD-ed out, ignoring the 1,000-pound camel in the living room.
NO- how about five thousand, more than 9/11?
