Didn’t we just see that joe scarface said the lyin’ king is just following his book “The Art of War” and is really Sun Tszu reincarnated? He’s just letting them think we don’t have a policy. He is the ultimate, amazing “NothingMan”.
If we do go to war with them I say release a thousand goats infected with syphilis in their camps. When we meet them in battle theyill be too busy scratching to use a blade or machine gun....: )
This happens to be an area somewhat related to my field.
Weaponizing pathogens is just not that easy. The difficult part being distribution. While creating the weapons doesn’t always require massive investment of money, it most definitely requires great technical expertise and careful attention to detail in processing.
These are just not components of the jihadist mentality.
Don’t say it isn’t possible, but I think they would have great difficulty with such a program. Someone who really believes in Inshallah is by definition ill-suited to careful precise technical work. Doing so, in fact, implies a lack of faith.
Watch the guys going into combat on video. Spray and pray is the method of choice. If Allah wills the bullets will hit. That’s not the mentality of careful biological weapon processing.
A hundred thousand madmen equipped with heavy weapons, nasty germs, poison gas and the heartfelt desire to mass murder for Allah is not a comforting thought.
This is why the border is open and the First Tyrant
and his abomination known as the EXEMPT Congress
bus and jet the infected mules to all 57 states.
Germs will do a dandy job of killing people. The challenge is getting large numbers of people infected, which is a lot more difficult than we usually assume.
People tend to object when asked to line up for their shots.
Also, assuming truly virulent contagious bioweapons can be engineered, they are an “own goal” issue. You can’t limit the effects to the enemy. Over the long haul they will do as much damage to your side.
Of course, true fanatics might not care, or they might assume Allah will protect his own.
So, while I agree it’s scary, I just think there are much greater worries out there. Sure, they want to do bad things to us using germs, but their ability to carry through on those intentions is probably quite limited.
Interesting perspective/insight. Good post.
Had the Madrid train bombers been viral loaded with Ebola, you would have seen, of course, the mass casualties due to the shock/blast forces, but then, 1st responders (fire/emt/ems) and 1st receivers (hospital pax) would be prone to spreading ebola ALL OVER THE place. It truely would be a heinous and very effective dispersal method of ebola.
Shudder.
A nasty scenario.
-------------------------------------->
Trial run, IMHO. Look how easy its been to bring disease and infections - by using children/carriers.
------------------------------->
Infected children, easily allowed to cross southern border states, being carriers of various nasty disease. TB has already been identified.
---------------->
Agree 100% - nothing else makes sense in allowing so many people, especially children, to just walk on in.
Rumor has it that Obama has recently doubled his usual order of DEPENDS (Tm).
This is purely speculation on my part, but I suspect that both Putin and ISIS have just this week scared the pee out of Obama.
In their latest attack on a Syrian airbase, they used chemicals in the water to poison Syrian troops. It was effective. So they do attemp these things.
Not having a strategy against, is actually a strategy of support. Even Jesus takes out all those who are against Him when He returns. Only then will there be true peace on earth as we sing on Christmas.
According to the article, the writer suggested using grenades near AC vents as a delivery agent. But plague doesn’t infect people that way.
Am I wrong to assume that their plan wouldn’t work that well (if at all)?
I was amused by the claim that the supposed terrorist scientist had studied physics and chemistry at university. These are, quite obviously, the most appropriate subjects of study for a budding bioterrorist. In actual fact, the person you want to be worried about is Bernadette on Big Bang Theory.
The most virulent, contagious and deadly form of plague is pneumonic, in which it's distributed through the air by droplets from the lungs of the infected person. So plague can be distributed through the air. I doubt, however, that it's very practical to make effective "plague grenades."
