Do they really expect us be buy this crap? What, are we supposed to be very afraid? Give me a flippin break already.

MIAMI - Seven men accused of trying to blow up the Sears Tower with help from al-Qaida never actually made contact with the terrorist network and were instead caught in an FBI sting involving an informant who posed as an al-Qaida operative, authorities said Friday

Federal prosecutors said the men — who operated out of a warehouse in Miami's blighted Liberty City section — took an oath to al-Qaida and plotted to create an "Islamic Army" bent on violence against the United States. Five of those arrested are U.S. citizens.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzales stressed that there was no immediate threat in either Chicago or Miami because the group did not have explosives or other materials it was seeking.

OK, ready for the famous last words?......get ready.....

"This group was more aspirational than operational," FBI Deputy Director John Pistole said.

3. Golly, I wonder if I could've infiltrated these tough hombres...

Ok, probably not being that I'm a middle-aged suburbanite white guy, but seriously, how hard would it be for even a rookie cop to get a gang of losers like this to claim all kinds of wild shit in exchange for funding?

Yea,

About as scary as Goober on Andy Griffith.

Goober and Gomer .

4. The Aspirational Seven! n/t

[Old and In the Way]

5. This oath to Al-Qaeda....was it on a Bible or Koran?

Was it a AQ Rotary Public that administered it...or was there a real AQ mullah from Pakistan on hand? These are important questions.

7. More like a squad than an army.
