Does anyone else think the NYC car bomb plot seems fishy?

    I suspect part of the problem is, the terrorist training camp didn't really have a lot of actual demos due to lack of raw materials and fear of being discovered. I wouldn't be surprised if I've blown up more shit lifetime than his trainers. Plus he was clearly not too bright so book-learnin' probably wasn't his thing. It's nice when your enemies are morons.

    Well, certainly an MBA isn't proof of intelligence - nor is a wife and kids - but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and assume that he was suffering from some sort of brain degeneration in the past year.

    Yeah, you aren't necessarily a genius if you have an MBA, but you can't really be a "fucking moron"

    You've never heard the phrase: "So easy, an MBA could do it"?

    Where did they learn their explosives techniques? Wile E Coyote cartoons?

    I'm glad you recognize that you shouldn't trust the Government to effectively do much.

    I think that when they hear that not only did the bomb not go off, but he actually got out of the van and tried to escape the country, they'll rescind his diploma...

    I'm confused as to what you're suggesting. It's fishy? What are you suggesting happened?

    Well. First of all, that Pathfinder was full of GOLD BULLION. Isn't is odd that the news reports don't mention that? And eyewitness reports suggest that the Pathfinder was as much as seven feet from where the police claim it was. Finally, experienced SUV drivers say that there is no way an untrained person could have parked in Times Square, turned the flashers on, and left the scene in the time required. Clearly the surveillance tapes have been altered and the Administration is covering this up.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Inspired by a Daily Show joke, I'll note that the fact that he was able to secure such a great parking spot on 45th Street at that time of day suggests that this was a very well-trained individual with elite skills.

    I'm thinking...covert Navy Seal black ops.

    This person failed because of his explosives training from unseasoned Muslim trainers. Timothy McVeigh succeeded because of his explosives training from the war-tested US military. Which training organization has terrorized more people over many years?
