Come on no one can have shit in the world with out the US intel knowing about it. Aren't you worried that US intel is monitoring SI, and tracking your stupid Islamic fundamentalist ass down as we speak? I mean, we have some serious technology, dude, stuff your boys in tents drinking camel milk can't even imagine. Have you heard of nanointelligence? We're fashioning cyberflies that will buzz around your tents giving us real time intel on everything you do and say. They are satellite-linked to Predators and other UAVs so that the last thing you might remember before becoming a spot of grease is thinking "My, that is an odd looking fly." As far as 9/11 is concerned, your boys got lucky, is all. Won't happen again. Now you lost Afghanistan and can't stick your burnoose out of a filthy cave to relieve yourself for fear that a Predator won't bag you. Face it, your boys had a nice run that ended on 9/11. You won't be picking your nose without our permission for centuries to come. Get ready for hamburgers, fries, Budweiser, Hooters at Mecca and Medina, NASCAR at Amman, and WalMarts selling your women thongs and bikinis. Shoot, I'm signing up for the first Burger King franchise at Mecca and, yes, you'll be able to get a bacon cheeseburger. Your kids are going to like skate boarding, Limp Biskit, and pizza delivered to your tent as they play their Play Stations and text message to each other talking about the bad ol' days when Mom was running around in a veil. Now, she looks good after all that yoga and Pilates, and the pool boy has a smile on his face, too. It's what you want, but can't admit it. You are going to get them courtesy of the Marines, some SEALS, and a few battalions of Air Cav not to mention the carrier groups ringing the Gulf as we speak. You could have things the way you like them but some of your damfool leaders really do think that it's OK to headhack and explode a couple of office buildings because somehow, some way Allah is going to make you a winner. Dude, that book was written eons ago. It doesn't apply any more. The world isn't flat. Fantasies never become real. There is no magic, except for the kind we're developing in weapons labs and Silicon Valley.

Now that's just not true. US intel has made many mistakes. Some of the holes have been filled now, but terrorism is possible because criminals are forever ahead of law enforcement. That's just the nature of the game.

All the 911 perpetrators needed to do was 1) learn to fly a plane, 2) hijack a plane, 3) fly it into a big building. Oh, one more - #4) keep their mouth shut about their plans to people not involved in the plot. That's one Moussaoui messed up. He told his flight instructor he didn't need to know how to land. Unlike you apparently, I think Muslims are capable of doing all 4 things, with Moussaoui being the exception. US intel doesn't have godlike powers. In fact, it has made lots of mistakes over the years.
