Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi and the Obamaniacs have assured us there is no Al Quaeda…except in Afghanistan!!! …and they would know!!!

Obviously someone in Yemen has wandered into Afghanistan without realizing it!!!

Exactly. We kill ‘em over there so they can’t bring their jihad over here. Thank you, President Bush!

That takes care of AQ but doesn’t stop peaceful Muslims from shooting up El Al in Los Angeles, running over College students in North Carolina or attacking Fort Dix. Not to mention preserving their family “honour” in Chicago and Texas.

Let’s keep killing them until the words “al Qaeda” are completely forgotten and no longer part of spoken language.

Well said. Like a modern version of Admiral Halsey’s famous quote about Japanese.

Al-Qaeda behind attack on US embassy

AQ, they are the ones who have hijacked a noble religion aren’t they? Lets not confuse crazy hijacking extremists with the beautiful and peaceful religion of Islam. Did you know they invented peace and tolerance? Make sure you kneel when you are near a mosque, you never know which one holds special meaning in Islam, the religion of peace………./S

It’s not helpful to minimize the threat of Islam by implying AQ is some twisted tool of Bin Laden in Bin Ladens quest for whatever. Bin Laden is dead, just a symbol now, but people insist on personalizing this to protect the ideology of Islam.

Just get Bin Laden and it will all be over.

Meanwhile priests have the shit pounded out of them in their church yards by “hooded Asians” because the Asians are disenfranchised and the women and children among the Muslims suffer the most from it.

There are enough mirrors and smoke without contributing to it. Unless, of course, you believe George Bush’s words about the Noble religion of peace, then your toast anyway,ask Hesham Islam.

Some wiz in a Reynolds-wrap cap is going to decide that we have technology that can push mortar shells in flight off course, that we knew they were coming, and that we deliberately steered them into the school to make the terrorists look bad.

Those who can’t quite swallow this idea will blame us for having an embassy in Arab lands, or by inflaming righteous passions by having Marine guards in that embassy.

Not that there’s much difference in the quality of logic.

Why the assumption that the attack was botched?

This may be the Middle East, Danny, but it’s not Iraq, where any hint of cooperation with the Coalition once meant certain death (now, it’s just less likely). It’s Yemen, where things are relatively calm. Mortaring a school simply because it’s near the American Embassy threatens everyone in that area, and that is not likely in this scenario.

No, it’s more likely this was indeed a botched operation, by Occam’s Razor.

Best Comment of the Day … and it’s only 10:30!

Martyrdom operations don’t produce experienced fighters.

Worse yet, they don’t produce experienced leaders. So the jihadists are doomed to repeat their mistakes over and over again.

But pre-plotting firing data between two known points is doable, especially in this day and age of cheap but very accurate hand held GPS units and Google Earth and firing tables. It’s been done before. These guys were newbies.

…the trainees are all they have to use for operations elsewhere.

That’s the basic flaw in the overall jihad strategy. Martyrdom operations don’t produce experienced fighters. They could do a lot more damage if they were willing to postpone paradise for several operations. Hopefully, they won’t figure this out until after they get to paradise.

Exactly. We kill ‘em over there so they can’t bring their jihad over here. Thank you, President Bush!
