Al-Qaeda grooming 'western' militants - LOL

CIA director Michael Hayden said today al-Qaeda was training operatives who "look western" and could enter the United States undetected to conduct terrorist attacks.

Give me a break, are they seriously expecting us to swallow this thinly veiled fear mongering?

The article goes on to state -

"They are bringing operatives into that region for training - operatives that, a phrase I would use, wouldn't attract your attention if they were going through the customs line at Dulles (airport near Washington DC) with you," Gen Hayden told NBC television.

Does anyone else read this as blatant racism? But wait there's more...

The new recruits "look western" and "would be able to come into this country ... without attracting the kind of attention that others might", he said.

Jesus Christ! Are you saying anyone of us could be a terrorist?! What a joke, don't waste our time with this diversionary trash.

This only accomplishes the continuation of racial stereotypes that make people fear and hate one another. Here's an idea, why don't we embrace our differences?

Nice try media whores, but I'm not buying it.

Wake UP said...

Reading that article really does make me sick! Does anyone read these articles over Sunday breakfast and accept the words as they lay?

So... terrorists are going undercover now days, shaved off their beards and whitening their skin... next the US administration will have to increase the powers of 'homeland security' or put some of the military on 'domestic duty' so they can better police the community on home soil...

WAKE UP!!

Let's look at some more quotes from the article:

bin Laden remains an "iconic figure"
...and that's about all he's been all along

But he's not operationally involved
...I know, simply on the CIA's payroll as an "iconic figure"

Al-Qaeda's number two is the Egyptian militant Ayman Al-Zawahiri ...top target(s) for US forces
...I guess you'll have to invade ANOTHER country then and take out more multi $billion contracts then...

Bin Laden has claimed responsibility for the September 11, 2001, attacks on the US, which killed nearly 3000 people and prompted the US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
...isn't that convenient of him to admit. I suppose the "iconic figure" personally sent you an email memo to let you know?
Killed nearly 3000! Better go blow some shit up, play the footage in prime time, then and kill a few million or so randoms...
