They’re not that smart
Although I generally agree with Charles Krauthammer that the terrorists want President Bush to lose (“Terrorists’ Candidates?"), I don’t think they’re of the right mind to think a Madrid-type bombing would backfire on them. That would suggest an extended sophistication of thought beyond their capacity. The terrorists’ thinking is more linear: “It worked in Spain, maybe it’ll work in America.”
"That would suggest an extended sophistication of thought beyond their capacity."
ReplyDeleteThat is nothing but wishful thinking mixed in with western arrogance.
Nope. Wishful thinking is that a major vile terror plot gets undeniably busted before the election due clearly to provisions of the Patriot Act.
ReplyDeleteWestern arrogance? You calling us cowboys?
