Ft. Dix Terror Plot: Incompetent Terrorists or False-Flag Operation?
This morning we learned of the Huge Islamic Terror Plot to Blow Up Fort Dix and Kill Hundreds of Defenseless American Troops. Strangely enough, this "we're fighting them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" shit doesn't seem to be working.

There are only two real explanations for this: these were the most incompetent terrorists who ever lived, or this was the worst false-flag operation ever attempted by anyone, ever.

Supporting the "dumbass" theory: They were caught when they attempted to have a Circuit City employee dub a video of them shooting assault rifles and screaming about Jihad from VHS to DVD. Okay, let me get this straight: they can afford rocket launchers, machineguns, mortars, high explosives and enough ammo to take out a lot of soldiers, but $79.95 for a DVD recorder is out of their price range? Now let me ask you something: if you were an Islamic Militant Terrorist Bent On World Destruction, would you walk into a fucking Circuit City with a videotape and ask someone to copy it to DVD for you?

Supporting the "false flag" theory: This came hard on the heels of a stunning setback for Our Great President: that he had to veto a bill that provided funding for the war he started on the grounds it had a pullout date. Obviously he needed something to prove to one and all that Terrorists Are Still Out There and We Must Fight Them Over There So We Won't Have To Fight Them At Fort Dix...well, even though (if we wouldn't have caught them first and they weren't the grade of terrorist who stopped trying to blow up cars because when you burn your lips on the exhaust pipe it hurts) we almost DID have to fight them at Fort Dix. Quick! Unveil a Huge Terrorist Plot!

I'm going for the second theory, simply because you wouldn't have survived to adulthood if you were that stupid.

1. question should be "are there any terrorism or terrorists that aren't
simply false flag operations".

2. Obviously a false-flag operation - gearing up for '08
They have to do something to keep reminding us how "serious" the terra threat is.

3. Kind of favor the "dumbass" theory myself
Face it, when the guy who delivers pizza to Fort Dix decides he can take them on, that is one serious dumbass. The DVD is just gravy.

4. To be fair, it was widely known that Circuit City laid off all the experienced clerks so >
the boys may have thought they could slip one past them.

Plus I hear the al qaida quartermaster is a real tightass about non-essential requisitions. He probably turned down the req for the DVD recorder.
