| ABC NEWS: Large Suicide Bomb Teams Sent to U.S., Europe |
| 2007-06-18 |
| Large teams of newly trained suicide bombers are being sent to the United States and Europe, according to evidence contained on a new videotape obtained by the Blotter on ABCNews.com. Teams assigned to carry out attacks in the United States, Canada, Great Britain and Germany were introduced at an al Qaeda/Taliban training camp graduation ceremony held June 9. A Pakistani journalist was invited to attend and take pictures as some 300 recruits, including boys as young as 12, were supposedly sent off on their suicide missions. |

| #23 Cripes Zenster! - that description is gonna give me nightmares! Zenster, be careful, someone might think you went to the Dan Rather school of journalism with descriptions like that. Alas, if only I could take sole credit for penning such turgid prose. Evidently, none of you remember when the inestimable David D. posted this nifty—if not exquisite—bit of metaphor in the Gunmen shoot elderly nun dead thread from 09-17-2006. Here is his entire post in all its former glory: #16 "They've just pissed off every Catholic in the world, and most Christians not Catholic as well, any attack on the Pope, whether successful or not, will cause an uprising you'd never believe until you see it." All of this assumes a degree of increased relativity with today's thread that tangentially touched upon this same topic. |

| #21 I saw the sands of passion clips - they are damn funny. |

| #20 On a much lighter note (compared to my previous post #16) -- is anyone watching those Sands of Passion videos over at http://nationalbanana.com? Hil-f'ing-larious. (funny because they're true) |

| #19 If they do pull something off...I still don't think W has the cajones to man up and render the Wazoo Valleys uninhabitable for the next 10,000 years. We would likely call in airstrikes, launce a few TLAMS, pop a few caps with SOF. Nothing more. |

| #18 The West is most likely to roll over if things go as they are - with left and MSM slowly wearing us down. If the muzzies do another attack on US soil they are making the right's point and will galvanize a real response. So if the muzzies were smart they'd just lay low and work on Isreal the EU and MME. But the muzzies seem to never miss a chance to miss a chance and will probably attack the US at some point and cause reality to move much closer to the muzzies death warrant. |

| #16 Speaking from inside the Beltway -- (Falls Church, not too far from that big terrorist infested mosque that sane.org brought to light last week) -- this confirms my worst fears. It's gonna get a whole lot worse. Think the DC Sniper X 30, Schools attacked like what Russia experienced. I'd have more hope for the West if I saw some glimmer in the people (outside our amazing U.S. military folks -- they can't do it all). Maybe if some soccer hooligans were to take out a Mosque -- or a Waco-like raid at Islamburg. SOMETHING. ANYTHING. |

| #14 The compliant little jihadis in the video seemed kind of phlegmatic and unenthused. They waved their little jihadi flags half-heartedly. I must say they have the propaganda (bullshit) thingee going. As was stated in the article, an official in GB said we have to be lucky every time. They only have to be lucky once. I only hope our decision makers have the will to build a good wall and control our borders. However, I suspect we already have jihadi sleepers waiting for the opportunity to blow up some shit in the U.S. I don't have a lot of faith in Washington to do anything with any effectiveness or efficiency. |

| #13 Suicide bombers in the US would most likely mean a faster abandonment of Iraq, and probably Afghanistan, too. While I understand your position, Rob, I sure as Hell hope you're wrong. I still hope that couple of shopping mall booms would galvanize America so as to overcome its squeamishness and finally (as David D. would say), "peel back the Islamic world's Foreskin Of Ignorance and apply briskly the Wire Brush Of Enlightenment". |

| #12 Sounds like the usual sound and fury. The Iranians had their thousands of suicide bomb recruits too, which have never shown up anywhere. |

| #11 Actually robert crawford I think the opposite would happen. I can only think of one democracy (spain) that caved to terrorism on their own soil rather than redoubling their efforts. I'd be happy to hear examples. I think the center and left (but not the nutty super-left) would all come ot the same conclusion. That Islam is not a religion of Peace, they are a problem that must be dealt with harshly. |

| #10 These are the kind of guys, I suggested long ago, that should be captured, reprogrammed, and given a "return to sender". Imagine the effect if you got a dozen of them, implanted them with a radio activated 3lb bomb in their abdomen, that would turn their bones into lethal projectiles. Then you re-wrote their minds to seek out the top enemy leaders. |

| #9 Suicide bombers in the US would most likely mean a faster abandonment of Iraq, and probably Afghanistan, too. Hell, give the press a big enough head of steam and we'd abandon Israel to the barbarians, too. So long as the press is in a de facto alliance with the terrorists, the jihadis are winning. |

| #8 blood can't soak into fused glass Hey, you write up the grant proposal and I'll work out the experimental protocol for a comprehensive investigation of how to create "Hematically Doped High Temperature Plasma Fused Silicacious Oxides". |

| #7 Zenster, I would hope that the madrassas would NOT be bloodsoaked...because blood can't soak into fused glass. ;-) |

| #6 One damed boom stateside and a whole bunch of fully occupied Pakistani madrassas had better be converted into blood-soaked smoking rubble. Pakistan's coddling of the Taliban is totally unacceptable. |

| #5 I wonder if this will have any impact on the "Open Borders" idiots...like Booooosh! Just one Jihadi detonates here and the whole (Sh)Amnesty Bill is Tango Uniform. Or not. |

| #4 Currently 20-60 thou terrorist already in the US. I'm confident that as soon as the call comes in from Iran, we go boom boom across the US. Then the American Patriot goes Stuck Mojo on their Jihad asses. Just sayin' *wink* |

| #1 Oh my gawd!! And this all happened before Salman Rushdie was knighted!!! Sounds like we should just go ahead and piss them off all we want, since they are going to do their level best to blow us the fuck up anyway. |
