Now THIS Is A War On Terror We Can Sink Our Teeth Into!

by Jim Newell  2:12 pm December 28, 2009

Eat shit Yemen!GAHHH, trying to find the funny news, but everything today is just about the American Empire transparently destroying itself. Which is funny! Humor has come full circle, maybe. Like what is this?: “‘The president is very confident that this government is taking the steps that are necessary to take — to take our fight to those that seek to do us harm,’ Gibbs said, emphasizing stepped-up military activity against al-Qaeda in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.” Next stop, Branson Mizzou!

HEY: how are four wars targeted at like 20 (replaceable) people going to stop some rich Nigerian dipshit from trying to blow up Detroit at some point? And did anyone even bother asking Detroit if maybe it wanted to be put out of its misery?

Osama bin Laden’s whole goddamn strategy has always been to draw the United States into a direct confrontation with Al Qaeda on as many fronts as possible. Our crack team of analysts have determined that he has been successful in this pursuit over the past decade. Because it’s been so easy. And it’s just getting easier! At this point a Mexican or Filipino can throw an orange through a storefront screen anywhere in the United States and it will be labeled muslin terror because some other Mexican in “Yemen” maybe e-mailed him at some point and was probably in Al Qaeda and we will have to bomb Jordan and Syria and Lebanon and Turkey, to save airplanes.

Twin anger articles from you and Ken posted a minute apart using the same pic. Is this some kind of creative writing experiment or is Malkin’s toothy grimace in the left sidebar driving you both to zombie-like rage (28 Days Later zombies, that is)?

Here’s the thing, if you are going to light the torch on a plane you do it at altitude, not on final approach. THIS MOTHERFUCKER DID NOT DO HIS HOMEWORK. And the heroic disarmer was some Dutch filmmaker, which is another example of why GAYS MUST NOT BE ALLOWED TO MARRY, because of fingers in dikes.

MIZ!!!

That picture Is disturbing. I realize it’s a shameful part of American history, but really, it’s too much, twice.

Redhead December 28, 2009 at 2:30 pm

Maybe someone forgot to tell W (and Cheney and Lieberman and Gibbs and Obama and the whole lot) that bombing the shit out of everyone does NOT mean buying rounds of Yaeger bombs until everyone’s too shitfaced to drive.

People (the usual suspects) are howling for Janet Napolitano (Big Sis) to step down as she should have known about this guy. And the other 20,000 or so that are on the list.

Prepare to walk naked through a scanner for your next flight.

It’s too late to save Branson. That failed state is irrecoverable. Though apparently (viz. Yemen) that’s insufficient reason to holster the Hellfires.

Come here a minute December 28, 2009 at 2:32 pm

Where are Riley, Juli, and Sara’s entries?

OTOH, three pics of that awfulness makes Malkin’s tooth-grinding leer seem pretty harmless.

[re=485651]chascates[/re]: Flying in the buff would solve the terrorist problem AND it would save our health care system – after one flight in the buff, everyone would stampede from the airport to the gym.

Thrice as nice……..NOT!!! (Say like Borat)

Does anyone else find it disturbing that a Nigerian Banker was linked to this? I’m going through my spam to see if I can find a connection…

RoscoePColtraine December 28, 2009 at 2:45 pm

I think I know the formula now:

THEY: Slip a solitary fanatical suicide bomber onto a plane.
US: Bomb and invade an entire country.
(Repeat)

It’s gonna work. You just gotta be patient.

give us a bob December 28, 2009 at 3:01 pm

[re=485652]user-of-owls[/re]: Why is it only now that they recognize Branson as the source of all ills? Coulda saved boatloads of cash on airfare to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Warziristan, and Whereverthefuckelse-istan, and instead sent a some drones down the I44 corridor.

Jim89048 December 28, 2009 at 3:03 pm

I withold judgement until I see what Sarah twats about this situation.

drpangloss December 28, 2009 at 3:03 pm

All Al Quiada has to do is get some wildeyed douchebag to make a threat that he has a bomb. Doesn’t even need to be real (someone might get hurt) and we’ll tear ourselves apart trying to find terrorists in congress or some equally stupid shit.

When did this country get so afraid of it’s own shadow that one guy with a toothpaste bomb can cripple our infrastructure.

Way Cool Larry December 28, 2009 at 3:10 pm

the truly ridiculous part of all this is that the odds of getting “attacked” by a terrorist on a US plane are like four times worse than getting hit by lightning…

“No terrorist would have dared attack us when George Bush and Dick Cheney were in office.”

Way Cool Larry December 28, 2009 at 3:13 pm

sorry, it is actually 20 times worse… my bad

Hey,
I think this guy’s dad is trying to wire $400,000,000 into my personal bank account. Should I send him my social security number?

2goats December 28, 2009 at 3:23 pm

Palin/Perino ’12! Some Truths are more important than your pedestrian facts.

RoscoePColtraine December 28, 2009 at 3:26 pm

Whoever has the most comments on his thread at 5pm Hawaiian Standard Time, wins. Loser has to give the winner an hour-long foot rub. HAS to.

Jennasaurus Rex December 28, 2009 at 3:40 pm

[re=485661]AxmxZ[/re]: Yeah, if they could survive the flight without gouging their eyes out. I fear the aesthetics (or lack thereof) might be too much to bear.

TGY December 28, 2009 at 3:45 pm

Flammable Slurpees do not concern me.

BeWoot December 28, 2009 at 4:47 pm

I heard talk on the radio that we may start getting body cavity searches FOR FREE! This could save me so much fun money.

elburrito December 28, 2009 at 4:50 pm

Typical liberal 12/24 thinking.

problemwithcaring December 28, 2009 at 4:50 pm

[re=485717]RoscoePColtraine[/re]: I like Ken’s post better (Fuck was in the headline after all) so as penance I am commenting here.

rocktonsammy December 28, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Wow, crooked teeth, what type of oriental is Malkin?

sezme December 28, 2009 at 11:45 pm

Jim, that second paragraph will be carved onto America’s epitaph.

mynameisdetroit December 29, 2009 at 12:06 am

If a bomb falls on Detroit, does it make a sound? Depends which neighborhood! HUMOR.

Custersdeadhorse December 29, 2009 at 12:43 am

[re=485661]AxmxZ[/re]: Flying sans clothers might be discriminatory, not to mention butt ugly, against religious Muslims, since I think they consider nudity outside of the bedroom an afront against their religion. Consequently, the religious ones would travel by ship or train. Roman Catholic priests, however, might find it to be a totally religious experience.
