Sure. And that's the reason why I expect any self-respecting Al Qaeda terrorist to bomb a prominent nightclub just like they did in Bali. Let's see. What would you do if you were an Al Qaeda terrorist? Go slinking around the D.C. area trying to make the locals too afraid to pump their own gas, or go blow up the Limelight in New York so that people nationwide are too afraid to step into an entertainment venue... I'm sorry, but Al Qaeda simply has never given the slightest evidence that they think on such a mundane scale. As shocking as all this might seem, it's definitely tame compared to blowing up embassies, blowing up Navy vessels, blowing up the Pentagon, and destroying the Twin Towers...

the pali versions like to make buses go boom,
usually in low to mid income areas ...

btw, given the recent humiliation of Yasshole,
i've not seen anyone mention pali symps as a possibility here.

hmmmm ...

Tame? Maybe in the number of casualties. But not tame in the affect it has on Americans. What is happening now, is far scarier to most Americans than a US Embassy being bombed overseas, or the bombing of the US Cole. All of their plans to terrorize us can not be of the magnitude of the WTC/Pentagon attacks.

You're not keeping up with the latest information that's been discovered about what al-Qaida is planning.

One of the video tapes our military captured in Afghanistan gives instruction to would-be terrorists on exactly this type of operation.

These guys are sending a message that absolutely no American is safe anywhere.

They can kill you while you're pumping gas, washing your car, mowing your lawn, going to school, shopping at Michael's, waiting for the bus, etc..

You can't protect yourself by staying out of nightclubs, federal buildings or by not flying.

Stay home and they'll come and shoot you on your own lawn or driveway.

Any American can be shot to death at any time. Age, gender, race, religion, social status, employment has nothing to do with it.

That's the definition of terror.

You make a good point, but it's possible that security here in the States has been just too hot for AQ to try to take on, so they go for something simple like picking off one citizen at a time, thereby terrorizing the entire D.C. area.

Michelle Malkin is on FNC right now saying that the AQ training tapes has this type of scenario covered.

Another thing that I want to address, even though you didn't say it, is that lots of "experts" on TV are saying that it can't be AQ because they haven't taken credit for the sniper attacks. They base that on the premise that terrorists always take credit for their work. They never did take credit for 9/11, so that blows that theory.

I don't know if it's Al Qaeda or a domestic nutjob. I'm keeping an open mind about who it could be. I hope that it's not Al Qaeda, because if it is, if the perp is apprehended, there will be more people waiting in the wings to pick up where he left off.
