| U.S. Says It Told Indonesia of Plot by Terror Group |
| 2002-10-16 |
| The United States repeatedly warned the Indonesian government in the weeks before the bomb blast that killed more than 180 people in Bali that a group linked to Al Qaeda was planning attacks to kill Americans and other Westerners, Bush administration officials said today. Why, not even a month ago, they were complaining about the Merkins "pestering" them with those unfounded, scurrilous charges... The American ambassador, Ralph C. Boyce, delivered the latest warning to President Megawati Sukarnoputri and her top advisers just a day before the bombing and gave her a deadline of Oct. 24 to act, the officials said. Yasss... What's the correct diplomatic wording we're looking for here?... Oh, yes. WE TOLD YOU SO YOU STOOPID F**KS! Indonesian officials had no comment tonight, ... or if they did, they couldn't be heard through the bags they had over their heads... but American officials said they had reacted before this weekend largely with demands for more concrete evidence of a terrorist plot and Qaeda activity. Concrete enough for you, jugheads? Since the weekend bombing, senior Indonesian officials have conceded for the first time that groups linked to Al Qaeda are active in their country, although President Megawati has not said so. Thank you for that statement of the obvious. Now what're you gonna do about it? Elect them to parliament? Oh. You've already done that... |
