| Al Qaeda Issues "Request For Proposals" |
| 2008-06-07 |
| Frankly, it seems like Al Qaeda is becoming more like the Pentagon with each passing day. Women want equal rights to wage Jihad; the bureaucrats issue nasty memos and want to coordinate strategic communication; and now they're putting out the equivalent of a "request for proposals" on how to cause madness and mayhem. "Senior al-Qaida leaders through a password protected Internet message board periodically ask their loyal readers to send in their best ideas for attacking their enemies," reports National Defense, quoting recent remarks by Rita Katz, of the SITE Institute. Katz claims Al Qaeda gets "thousands" of responses. “Basically they are using all the jihadists throughout the world as their eyes,” said Katz. The request called for members to look for vulnerabilities in U.S. government facilities or for targets “anywhere in the world,” she said. This shows that terrorist groups are not lacking for ideas when it comes to cooking up deadly plots, but Katz warned that it’s important to distinguish “chatter” from real threats. What next? A DARPA for terrorists? A prize for the most innovative terrorist idea? |

| #7 A standard Purchasing organization technique, Mr. Wife says, used at his company, U.S. government bureaus, and so forth. One of the Al Qaeda MBAs clearly is flexing his expensive education. |

| #3 Hey, I think I too could prove a threat, I could have plenty of wild, wicked ideas to harm people and spread chaos! I'm so bitter and frustrated, it's like I'm being turned inside-out by a never-ending black hole of sourness and hatred for just about everybody... so, yeah, I could have plenty of such ideas, in fact, I have. What I need is an outlet. Perhaps I should convert? |

| #2 I have a proposal for them, but they'd need to be insanely flexible to do it. |

| #1 Wel-l-l, iff this was Afghan War = Afghanistan and I was in cahoots wid Osama, I would be criticizing him for not nuking NYC + Washington DC, etc. the first time. THE ONLY REASON TO USE AIRLINERS THAT WAY ON 9-11 IS TO SPANK = LIGHTLY "WARN" THE USA, NOT KILL THE USA. THE DEVIL IS IN THE POLITICS, NOT WAR ITSELF > IS THE GOAL TO WAGE WAR FOR VICTORY, OR TO WAGE POLITICS + PERVASIVE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS-DENIABILITY??? |
