“Spectacular”

Al-Qaeda has summer plans for you. ABCNews.com’s Blotter:  

A secret U.S. law enforcement report, prepared for the Department of Homeland Security, warns that al Qaeda is planning a terror “spectacular” this summer, according to a senior official with access to the document.

“This is reminiscent of the warnings and intelligence we were getting in the summer of 2001,” the official told ABCNews.com.

Hard to know what to make of this.  Al-Qaeda undoubtedly has had a lot of “spectacular” plans.  Execution not always feasible.  Meanwhile, what intelligence agent/agency in the post-9/11 Commission era is going to downplay any suggestion of al-Qaeda’s desire to do us harm?

A series of bungled and seemingly inept attacks — to include the Fort Dix and JFK Int’l plots along with the failed British fire-bomb attempts — doesn’t mean they aren’t capable of not screwing it up, or that the kinds of things we’ve seen can’t be highly effective, or that they are even the main events.  Successful attacks are often preceded by failures. The growing trend of what appear to be al-Qaeda-inspired local amateurs itself represents a disturbing evolution.  Those British fire bombs are now being viewed as inefficent weapons, ineffectively deployed. But 9/11, the major catastrophe of our time, was carried out with inefficient weapons that could have proven ineffective under any number of  alternative scenarios.

All of which gets us back to the old truth we all know now, even if we don’t really think it will ever apply to us.  London, Glasgow, JFK and Dix are just reminders.  Glasgow and the pine barrens of New Jersey?  Fort Dix is in the middle of nowhere.  It can happen anywhere, at any time.  Which is why you need to be alert, and need to have already thought about what you’re going to do. Whether you can or even get a chance to is what you find out later.

Here are some people who found out:

The Martyr

Cpl. Jason Dunham

Bingham, Beamer, Burnett, Glick, Nacke, Cashman etal

Those are just a few of the select few.  Spectacular.

   To paraphrase Leon Trotsky, Jules Crittenden writes that you may not be interested in Al-Qaeda, but “Al-Qaeda has summer plans for you”….

   “This is reminiscent of the warnings and intelligence we were getting in the summer of 2001,”

   “This is also reminiscent of every other warning the crazy jihadis have made ever since they started delivering crazy jihadi warnings.”

   It isn’t just what we need to prepare for in case we spot something suspicious. It’s what we need to prepare for in case they’re successful. What do we do if they, God forbid, manage to destroy the financial center of New York City, or take out Capitol Hill, or shut down the shipping facilities at Long Beach, CA? Unlikely prospects, yes, but then so was the destruction of two very big buildings in 2001.
