Jihadis Post Scenario for the Defeat of the United States (Threat of terror attack not overblown)
The Jamestown Foundation ^ | May 22, 2007 | Abdul Hameed Bakier, Erich Marquardt

Posted on 05/31/2007 10:08:11 PM PDT by garjog

On May 14, jihadi forum users Abu Kandahar and Roslan al-Shami posted a five-point scenario for the collapse of the United States and the rise of the Islamic ummah, entitled, "The Next Strikes in the Heart of America, When and How."

The first stage in the scenario involves multiple terrorist attacks on three major U.S. cities, preferably with nuclear weapons, using an unspecified number of trucks.

While [New York, Miami, LA] are the three primary cities for attack, the writers of the document suggest that if the mujahideen wish to expedite the collapse of the United States, they should also conduct attacks in Seattle since it is a strategic border city ….

According to the writers, the purpose of attacking these specific cities is to cause a sharp decline in the U.S. economy; mass amounts of casualties; the support for the mujahideen by anti-U.S. countries such as Cuba and Venezuela; a decrease in American support for their own government. http://www.jamestown.org/terrorism/news/article.php?articleid=2373415

This could be just some boasting propaganda, but if you read the article you will see that it is consistent with AQ's promises to kill 4 million Americans and OBL's command that it is the duty of every Muslim to acquire nuclear weapons.

Tell the jihadis not to waste their time.

The US is going to turn over the country to the illegal alien wave. The jihadis have no quarrel with hispanic America.

Either that, or any democRAT (s)elected as President will simply surrender. Better get in line now for that Anal-rape prayer rug, Queeran, and "Dhimmitude for Dummies".

The terrorist just don’t get it do they? If they hit all the cities they want, and especially Seatle, they will be killing all of their supporters.

There five primary targets have been stated to be: LA, Seattle, New York, Boston and Las Vegas. Hitting those five cities should just remove most of the blue from political map.

"illegal alien wave."

Actually another article speculates that Mexican gangs are being hired by AQ to smuggle in the nukes.

This Man Leads Nuclear ‘9/11' Plan NewsMax/ Friday, June 1, 2007 He is the most wanted man in America yet most Americans have never heard his name. He has been described as the "Fixer" of the Sept. 11 attacks. Several captured al-Qaida operatives have revealed this is the same man who bin Laden has tapped to lead the terror group's diabolical scheme to detonate nuclear devices simultaneously in several U.S. cities. Meet Adnan el-Shukrijumah, now believed to be operating within the U.S. – a man the FBI warns is likely armed and dangerous. The U.S. government is offering a $5 million reward for information leading to his capture.

After the terrorist strikes, Adnan became a key figure in al-Qaida's plans to escalate its attacks on the U.S. Williams compiled evidence that Osama bin Laden designated him to arrange a simultaneous nuclear attack on seven U.S. cities – New York, Washington, Los Angeles, Houston, Miami, Boston and Las Vegas." http://www.newsmax.com/scripts/printer_friendly.pl?page=http://www.newsmax.com/archives/articles/2007/5/31/211635.shtml?s=lh

Well, I would hope to God that if an American city got nuked, Mecca would get the same. Automatically and immediately.

Wouldn't it be easier if the jihadis just came across our southern border and all got instant legal status? Heck, maybe they could even get Z visas. No need for all that messy violence. I'm sure the Catholic Church would lend a hand. Maybe Jorge would invite them to the ranch.

I wonder which of our policies L. Ron Paul thinks could have provoked this?

Yes, I agree. It would be comforting to dismiss this as empty propoganda--and perhaps it is--but I would not be too certain. Especially over the long term (say, the next 15-20 years).

Continental Europe is already practically defenseless. Britain is a bit less underprepared, but hardly a bastion of military strength anymore.

Given the US's weak-kneed response to Iran, it appears that we are headed in the same direction--just a bit more slowly. And once the US capitulates--perhaps because it is simply more comforting to regard the jihadist threat as "overblown"--who will be left to defend effectively against it?

One of the worst slanders perpetrated on a conservative in the past few years was the media response to Tancredo's suggestion that Mecca be publicly announced as a MAD retaliation target.

I think it was Tancredo, anyway.

“Mecca would get the same. Automatically and immediately.”

Maybe, but only after we confer with our allies and mandate that attacking troops be required to take in sensitivity training first.

The Congress would also need to be prepared to pass a $30 billion dollar bill to rebuild the middle east with a new “Marshall Plan” so that the rest of the world would like nice about us.

I would hope the same. But I would not count on it.

Remember, we are living in an age in which "restraint" is widely counted as a virtue--no matter how heinous the provocation.

The jihadis have a mortal quarrel with Hispanics. Most Hispanics are Catholic. Most of the rest are at any rate not Muslim. They enjoy music, dancing, beer, etc. In short, they enjoy life. And for all those reasons, the jihadis have put them on the list for destruction when they get a chance.

we should release a TV news show showing actual ICBM weapons that have been programed to target Mecca .

Forget the words ....a picture is worth a thousand words.

Discus what the targeting accuracy would approximately be expected to me , the kilotons involved , what the blast effects would be . And finally have them discus how long it would be before any part of that region would ever be habitable again....

Really put it out there in way that would cause the entire Muslim world to take a huge ‘gulp’....

and DO THIS NOW !

Not as long as they convert.

To keep my post alive, how about this scary stuff:

“Al-Qaeda’s No 2 claims to have nukes
(Agencies)
Updated: 2004-03-22

Osama bin Laden’s terror network claims to have bought ready-made nuclear weapons on the black market in central Asia, the biographer of al-Qaeda’s No. 2 leader was quoted as telling an Australian television station.

The moonbats will never believe alquaeda did it. They will be sure it was planned by Karl Rove.

Maybe not a good idea to nuke Mecca. If we do that, in doing so, we’ve committed to a genocidal war to the finish with Islam. It would probably lead to the ruin of both the U.S. and of Islam. The rest of the world would outlaw both, and neither we nor that religion would be in any shape to do anything about it.

The ambitions of the jihadis will, if they can get nukes, lead them into nuclear attacks on everybody, everywhere. Russia, China, Thailand, they’re all infidels. London, Paris, Rome, Moscow, etc. etc. would be targeted as well as U.S. cities. In fact, London, Madrid, and Moscow have already been the target of terrorist attacks.
