I dunno shit ..... you dunno shit ..... but lets speculate about Skivvy Bomber
Was he a lone guy or part of a plot? Do you think he was a test mule for a bigger/better/coordinated later attack?

11. lol

Whatever turns out about the boy, and I suspect we are going to find a very innocent (naive) personality who had a very good father.

2. I'm gonna guess much like the shoe bomber he was a useful person with severe problems mentally.
Religion found him when it needed to...then someone who could abuse his mental state just pushed him in the right direction.

Dunno shit though...

18. What makes it really twisted is that the Koran mentions pitying the mentally ill.
I guess the fundie cherry pickying method is in flavor again...

3. Given AQs preference for multiple, timed attacks
I have to figure this was the only guy out of several who was willing to risk barbecued balls to make a political point.

I think most men would rather risk death than sautee their scrota.

8. I just think he was an idiot
A want to be, who, if he did have connections, was taken full advantage of by Al Queada.

This so called "terrorist attempt" was so unsophisticated, One would think that if Al Queada were behind it, they would be ashamed.

Sounds just like Cheney an the bumbling BFEE though. Everything they attempted while Jr. was in office turned to shit and so did this terror attempt.

13. IMO they are distributing that skivvy-bomb kit
This kid couldn't have put that together. And since someone was picked up in Somali two months ago wearing a similar rig, I'd say it's being made in Yemen or Somalia and fed out to anyone itching to die.

Which they will... if the design ever gets fixed.

14. Part of a plot. Someone built the bomb for him. If he built it himself, he'd know how to use it.
I think that the bomb builders thought he was more capable than he actually was.

If they can build one they can build more.

The question is whether they can slip someone onto a US bound aircraft or not.

It was pretty embarassing for them to fail another shoe bomber type attack.

credit for it.

I have never once thought that people of middle eastern decent were stupid or unsophisticated in their access to and use of knowlege. They've usually been highly educated people (at least the leaders of AQ have), and this attempt was so lame it is almost comical.

Apparently no one even tested the thing to see if it would work? Even 6th grade science students know they have to test their experiments before they are implemented for use.

17. Typical AQ recruit, loser type, sees a glorious way to end his miserable existence. Lots of those
kind of believers around.
