blzrul Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The latest domestic terrorism plot involved three morons from Texas who bought 1,000 cellphones at a Wal-Mart intending, authorities say, to blow up a bridge in Michigan. Now THERE is a plot that should strike fear into our hearts. Ok, ok, it would be a bad thing, I don't mean to dis Michican and I'm sure people would die and it would be bad but...it's Michigan ok? It's not like it's a high-priority target that DHS wants to protect at all costs, like that petting zoo in Florida or something. As I recall the last big terror arrests were more Texas morons who had all sorts of chemicals and nasty things, that one a few years ago but after 9/11. I don't know whether someone should write a musical comedy about these incompetent nitwits (and thank goodness for THAT) or whether Bush ought to invade Texas and fight 'em over there...probably a lot cheaper than the Middle East and that's a war I could actually support [For those who want a source, it's on page A4 of this m]orning's Seattle Times and no doubt somewhere on the web too.

/dev/null Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 Bush ought to invade Texas 742256[/snapback] No blood for Texas Tea Besides if you think the insurgency in Iraq is bad, Texas has been known to have their own heavily armed religous zealots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wacka Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 The bridge they were plotting to attack connects the upper and lower peninsulas of Michigan . All the shipping in Lake Michigan has to pass under the bridge. Destroying that would be a big hit on the economy there. Michigan is where the islamic republic of Dearbornistan is located.

I don't think they were trying to disrupt shipping, they probably just figured that all the "big" bridges (Golden Gate, Brooklyn, etc) would be under surveillance and this one would not. Poor Michigan. Perhaps they should have looked in Wisconsin. Who freakin buys 1,000 cellphones and thinks no-one notices? I work for a wireless company and we for sure notice that stuff. Duh.

Maybe they were planning on blowing it up when the sailboats in the Chicago-Mackinac race were under it... And isn't that just what the You-pers up there want?... To be stranded and cut-off from the known world... Like that isn't already happening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
