Stupid Terrorists

Wow, al Qaeda must be the stupidest terrorists, no wait, stupidest people period, on this entire planet. Their purported goal is to shake the will of the western powers that have invaded Iraq, and to drive them out, no? Then can someone please explain to me the logic of the London bombings? No seriously, it is time to apply logic to these events. Please do not hand me the nonsense about these people being “killers” who do not apply logic. You do not become the number one terrorist organization without having some logic, no? We are expected to swallow that these people were smart enough to circumvent our billion dollar intelligence and air defense systems with box cutters, but they cannot play coherent cause-effect scenarios out in their mind prior to carrying out terrorist activities? I doubt that very much.

Just this week, it was reported that England had drafted plans to pull out their troops, gone, see you later, victory for al Qaeda, right? So we are to believe then that the orchestrated response to these plans was to blow up a double decker bus, in England. Now, can you guess what the most likely response to such an event would be:

1) Pull the troops out faster
2) Galvanize public support, thus keeping the troops in Iraq

Those of you that selected number one, I will assume you work for the Bush administration. Those of you that selected number two, good job. Now that we have established the enormous stupidity in the England bombings, the next logical front to examine is here in the United States.

Let’s examine the political climate here in this country just prior to this “attack”. Support for the Iraq War was at an all time low. People were unmoved by the President’s speech, dropping his overall approval rating to 43%. The drums of impeachment were growing louder with each passing day, with the revelations that the Downing Street Memos do indeed prove that George Bush committed felonies in lying to Congress and starting war without Congressional approval. Also on our political front was the Valerie Plame story and how it appears there is a good chance that Karl Rove committed treason in outing a covert CIA operative, who just happened to be assigned to uncovering WMD. Considering the closeness of Rove to Bush, if these allegations proved to be true, then how much of a stretch is it to assume Bush had complete foreknowledge of the revenge against Joe Wilson by outing his wife.

Cui Bono is not the rock musician who fashions himself mankind’s ambassador to the governments of the world. It is, rather, the question asked when an official was murdered in ancient Rome: "who benefited"? It is the question gullible minds have long forgotten to ask themselves following politically-motivated atrocities.

The state saves us the difficulties associated with asking and exploring such a question. Following the bombing of the federal building in Oklahoma City, as well as the 9/11 attacks on the WTC, the political establishment locked most Americans into one explanation: "terrorists." It is amazing that, for all the criticism heaped upon so-called "intelligence agencies" for their "failure" to anticipate 9/11, federal officials were able to identify the alleged perpetrators of these crimes – complete with photographs of same – within hours after the attacks!

"poncho, you overlooked the fact that terrorists really are stupid. How bright can a person be to strap bombs on themselves and blow themselves up only to end up in hell?"

You overlook the fact that they don't believe they will go to hell.

"Okay, I don't like you, in fact I hate you, so to prove how much I hate you, I'll blow myself up and take out as many people as I can with me."

Why do they hate us? Can you prove they hate us because of our freedom as some would have us believe? Can you prove that all terror campaigns are done by Islamofascists and that no terror campaigns have been done by globalist agent provocateurs and their "useful idiots"?

"Even kids know to take their ball and go home."

Not all kids.

"Duh. If they really wanted everyone out of Iraq, they'd stop the murder and maiming, go play checkers or whatever, give peace a chance, and the Coalition would all just leave."

The victors never leave. Duh!

"Again Duh."

 

"Conquered states.... can be held by the conqueror in three different ways. The first is to ruin them, the second for the conqueror to go and reside there in person and the third is to allow them to continue to live under their own laws, subject to a regular tribute, and to create in them a government of the few who will keep the country friendly to the conqueror." - Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince

 

I've been told numerous times that anybody with Microsoft Front Page or similar software and a few bucks can put up a website Joseph. I will check these links out though thanks.

Maybe there are some terrorists out there LadyEagle that indeed do hate our freedom and "democracy" that much I will concede. But as yet I am still just as unconviced that by giving up "some" of my liberties the result will be my increased safety and as yet I am still unconvinced that by throwing in the towel on our democracy or liberties just because some group of crazed people would use our democracy and liberties against us will result in anything that could even possibly be promoted as anything "promoting freedom and democracy" through the world.

Call me stubborn but I'm just not willing to start questioning the very things that make this country great and the people free because of a few extremist murderers would use them against us. That in my mind lends aid and comfort to the enemy.
