Remember the hundreds of arson forest fires and brush fires started by Australian children in a few months a couple years ago?

They weren't even coordinated attacks. Just lots of individual prank fires in copycat incidents. And they were devastating.

I'm sure they'll thank you for passing this on over the net.

I had a private theory that terrorists could use wildfires to attack us, but I didn't want to post it for obvious reasons, especially because it fits with their pattern of taking advantage of situations to get the maximum benefit (using nature's fuel, rather than building their own bombs, or using an American-built plane as a missile). Is it really necessary to post these theories online where anyone could see them?

Hey--to have a fire takes three elements--oxygen, fuel, and a source of ignition. In this scenario, the oxygen comes free, the Islamic radicals are purported to provide the source of ignition, but lets NOT forget the folks who provided the fuel.

The excessive undergrowth that provides the fuel for these wildfires is brought to you by the courtesy of the ENVIRONMENTAL WHACKOS, with their "roadless initiatives" (i.e. no fire roads), and "wilderness areas" (i.e. no timber harvesting/undergrowth removal).

I think the eco-whackos deserve 50% of the blame, don't you??

WE MUST BE PREPARED TO DETAIN AND ENCAMP/DEPORT ALL ISLAMIC TERRORISTS AND THEIR SYMPATHIZERS. THE TIME TO PLAN IS NOW.

Say it loud and say it proud. Happened before, may have to happen again.

You're right. I bet it never occurred to the Administration to detain all terrorists. What exactly the heck do you think they're doing?

The best post I've read so far is the one that points out the simple fact that terrorists have only hit at grand symbols of our power. How does that fit this scenario?
