Is Al Qaeda That Stupid, or Do They Really Think We Are That Stupid-- Or What the Heck Is Going On Here???
Earlier I quoted a NY Times article on foiled terror plots:
Okay. What does this really mean? What is going on here?
First, I will make one key assumption-- after 9/11, a true plot by terrorists to hijack airplanes and take them over simply would not work. First, security was heightened and passengers were screened better. Second, other passengers on an aircraft would not sit passively if a few poorly armed Arabs tried to take over a plane. Third, we have to assume that the FAA and the US Air Force would get their act together, and would intercept a hijacked airplane in a timely manner. This is all according to the official story, of course.
In reality, of course, Al Qaeda terrorists did not hijack planes and pilot them into the targets on 9/11. It was carefully rigged up to seem that way-- it was an illusion.
In any case, what do these other hijacking plots after 9/11 tell us?
There are only two real possibilities:
1) Al Qaeda (represented by KSM here) is simply stupid and delusional to think they pulled off 9/11 and to think they could "pull off" another attack, or
2) Al Qaeda is simply a fake organization whose job is to dream up "terror plots" that can then be co-opted by Western intelligence agencies for their own ends.
Of course, these are not mutually exclusive and it is likely that Al Qeada has both delusional and fake elements.
What this story says about the US media and the US public-- that they fall for this garbage-- is another question entirely.
Mr. Mohammed envisioned carrying out a new plot on targets in the West Coast in 2002, after the Sept. 11 attacks.The article earlier says this was a hijacked airplane plot:
a failed effort in 2002 to use hijacked airplanes to attack "targets on the West Coast,"and apparently there was
a similar plot on the East Coast in 2003.

Sorry -- I did not mean to get your thread locked at DU. i should not have said that word MIHOP. That place is a joke.

no problem skeeterbit-- the mods would have gotten to it sooner or later. They are getting worse and worse about 9/11.
You should come on over to the Rigorous Intuition discussion board. Lots of discussion of 911 going on there now. I'm sure your knowledge would be welcome.
