ALERT!!! ALERT!!! Alert in the Persian Gulf!
This time, it's WAY worse than blowing up buildings in the US or detonating dirty bombs in our cities. MUCH WORSE!!!

al Qaeda (tm) has threatened to attack oil rigs in the Gulf!! YES!!! OIL RIGS!!!!

It's time to institute a draft, invade Iran AND Syria. Those evil brown non-believer bastards will never get our OIL WELLS!!!




It's October and I'm surprised.

1. If they actually do it, maybe, but if they threaten it, then it's time to
wonder if maybe they want the rethugs to win, rather than the dems as is so often attributed to them.

There is the possibility that Al Qaeda issues its threats on its own time regardless of US elections or does not expect to influence them one way or the other (really hard to believe Al Qaeda wouldn't think the dems just as bad - Americans are probably all alike to them) but if they believe the RW propaganda and expect to have some effect, this show they prefer the rethugs.

6. LOL. For the next couple weeks it would be good not to joke too much
about this topic. Although I'm not saying people shouldn't be telling jokes about it.

"Training exercise" for the US was a deception, but they clearly enough stated they'd be practicing intercepting ships and searching them for smuggled weapons of terror.

With the UK maritime warning it seems evident they will be stopping and searching suspect ships.

Remember the Cole, and don't forget that before the Iraq invasion during war simulations little boats were shown as a huge threat to American naval ships. Tension will be high and mistakes more dangerous than ever.

9. yeah, if I was a terrorist... I'd wait until the
largest armada of warships since WWII was assembled in the bathtub called the Persian Gulf before I took my little motorboat over to attack some of those oil platforms.

It's the Persian Gulf of Tonkin. Right on schedule.

I love it. That is so true. I wish the election would just come and go. Who knows what they have up their sleeves??? The suspense is killing me.
