I know it's probably more fantasy than realistic, but crazier things have been attempted. Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, I've never heard of the site and it was written pretty poorly. On the topic, that's the exact type of response I want from the US. I understand the need of the Pakistani government to take a stand here, but we shouldn't waver. It needed to be done the way it happened and everyone knows it.

BigSqwert Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Texas Teacher Who Accused Girl Of Grieving Over Bin Laden Not Returning To Work The Texas high school teacher who allegedly told a Muslim girl in his ninth grade algebra class that "I bet that you're grieving" over the death of Osama bin Laden will not be returning to work, a school spokesperson tells TPM. The teacher was suspended last week after the girl complained about his comments to her, which came the day after bin Laden was killed by American forces in Pakistan. The girl's name has been kept out of reporting on the case, and a spokesperson for the Clear Creek Independent School District would not immediately release the name of the teacher to TPM. The incident took place at Clear Brook High School near Houston. Parents and fellow students were outraged by the teacher's remarks to the girl, which allegedly included him calling bin Laden "your uncle." Clear Creek Independent School District spokesperson Elaina Polsen declined to say that the teacher had been fired. "The terms of his departure are not accessible to the public, as they wouldn't be for any situation," she said, adding that personnel files are never released.

Balta1701 Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Link For the second time in five months, the Pakistani authorities have angered the Central Intelligence Agency by tipping the Pakistani news media to the identity of the C.I.A. station chief in Islamabad, a deliberate effort to complicate the work of the American spy agency in the aftermath of the raid that killed Osama Bin Laden, American officials said.From the list of "Actions they can take to show anger at the U.S. but that won't cause the U.S. to slow down the free money train."

I think it'd be pretty easy to have gunmen storm the stadium/arenas during several minutes after halftime of a basketball or football game. Maybe they have eye in the sky people watching but I doubt it. I've been to a lot of pro and college football and basketball games and the minimum wage security people don't seem like they have a clue.

Look at what happened in Mumbai, 164 dead and over 300 injured. You unleash some automatic weapons in a college football stadium and you could have thousands dead depending on how quickly it empties and how quickly they reload.

Soxbadger Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Its not really that easy to get ak-47s into a football stadium. 9/11 was a unique terrorist attack that used the resources inherent in a plan as the main explosive force. To get those type of results you need a lot of fuel and that just takes up a lot of space. The biggest threat remains a OKC bombing style where a truck/etc is used with fuel to create the explosion. You could possibly ram it into a stadium etc, to get maximum effect. Other possible options would be train, airplane etc. The blimp would be hard simply because of access. Regular people dont ride in the blimp to take over the cockpit. Im not even sure if they offer blimp pilot training. At the end of the day it takes a lot of resources to pull these things off, terrorism is a bad business model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I hope colleges and pro teams quit hiring middle aged men and women to stand guard as security and actually take this seriously. I still say the prime targets are these schools and pro teams where the team is a religion like Alabama or Auburn football or Kentucky basketball. Or Packers or Patriots football. You can't tell me with 10 minutes to play in a Kentucky basketball game or Alabama or Nebraska football game the security forces aren't just standing in the arena watching the game. You get 10 assholes with machine guns to run in at that point and it would be awful. I had a friend say it would be the end of spectator sports.

Texsox Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 Instead of the team being a religion, how about a Christian school? Notre Dame, Boston College, BYU, SMU, or a Jewish college like Brandeis.

Jenksismyhero Posted May 10, 2011 Share Posted May 10, 2011 anyone else hear about this: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/may/0...s-pakistan-deal The US and Pakistan struck a secret deal almost a decade ago permitting a US operation against Osama bin Laden on Pakistani soil similar to last week's raid that killed the al-Qaida leader, the Guardian has learned. The deal was struck between the military leader General Pervez Musharraf and President George Bush after Bin Laden escaped US forces in the mountains of Tora Bora in late 2001, according to serving and retired Pakistani and US officials. Under its terms, Pakistan would allow US forces to conduct a unilateral raid inside Pakistan in search of Bin Laden, his deputy, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and the al-Qaida No3. Afterwards, both sides agreed, Pakistan would vociferously protest the incursion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
