Here's a question I haven't yet heard posed:

[PCIntern]

WTF did it take three, count 'em, THREE, guys to drive a Jeep into the terminal? This seems like a real waste of manpower and inefficient. Most terrorists, at least in the ME, know that you could have had three operations for the price of one (in this case).

How many (fill in the blank) does it take to drive a bomb into an airport ticket counter?

Here's another question: the airport had security posts planted firmly in the ground. Did these morons (spelled correctly in this case) think they could drive a car thru reinforced concrete barriers? Was there a sign which read: "Moron terrorist drop-off here?"

This was a not a little stupid...Oh, I almost forgot...one of the fellows poured gas on himself and lit it? WTF was that about? Why didn't they get more terrorists in the car like one of those college phone booth deals?

These guys sound like the Keystone Kops or the Marx Brothers. Thank God no one else got seriously hurt.

Morons.

1. Sounds like the Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight to me

Three attempts, three failures.

2. I thought it was odd that the veichle was a JEEP

I didn't think they were that common outside of army bases in the UK. Do any GB'ers here know how popular they are across the pond?

4. seen 'em on the M25...so there are at least a few n/t

6. Nah, Brits got their yuppies too

They don't all drive Rolls Royces. Peugots, and smart cars over there. They've got a variety of vehicles, including the usual assortment of needlessly big ones.

8. Less popular than here, but not unusual at all

There are plenty of Jeeps on the road in the UK. I've seen a lot on my travels there. In fact, a good friend of mine in Northampton just (reluctantly) sold his Wrangler.

7. Funny...

The same thing went thru my mind. Here in Philly, people drive terribly in the airport...

10. Thank God terrorists are the dumbest fucks on the face of the earth.

So stupid they couldn't light a fuse.
