What the heck does .... IMO mean?
Yes, not only should they have been locked up, but what I wonder about is that it seems there is a nice cache of AK's in France. I wouldn't even know whom to talk to in Germany, or maybe I should try walking into a Mosque in Frankfurt or Berlin and ask around. It's really not easy getting your hands onto one, quite impossible really, or at least it was supposed to be that way.
Forget Hebdo. Let's talk about targets and the increase of sophistication in their operations.
You talk like we are not afraid to be targets, it's because nobody reads such here, and we sure won't change our life styles because of these nutcases. Yet, it is America that had the biggest change of life style on the planet. A sign on Doha airport states "All Passengers please arrive 2 hours before Check In. Except Passengers to the United States who should arrive 3 hours before."
The first and original target was the botched attempt at the World Trade Center parking lot. It reminds me of the first suicide bomber here in town who threw himself on top of the Korean Ambassadors Car with something resembling a large firecracker. Fuck all happened. Just like the poor guy they loaded on a plane with explosive panties. They each burned their balls, but that was it.
But then they learned. And learning they do.
East Africa, Tanzania and Kenya, US Embassies. They had progressed and arrived with a bang. After that came 9/11. And the World could not believe it. You bet you changed your life style! Not you as per se, but your Government sure did. From useless suicide bombers they progressed to taking down 120 soldiers during a parade, walking into the Defence Minsitry here and gunning down anybody who they walked into, including the German GM of the GIZ, the last attack a few days back. They have sure learned!
So what are they actually after? Recognition, honour, glory. And some, especially those on top, money.
What would it need to have something "awesome" happening in the US nowadays? Some Fanatic walking thru New York shooting down folks? You got the Blacks doing that, you got high school kids doing more damage in their school than any decent fanatic could ever achieve. It would be just another day in the States. However, try to run a publication like Hebdo, and sure enough NOW you would have a target. Taken out in the most "honourable" way, now THAT's something that people might talk about. Or like in France, go onto the Streets by the millions. And heavenly glory is guaranteed! Among their brethren at least. So for the States you would need something seriously big. Shooting a few folks? Pffft, any good and decent American can do that very much by him or herself.
America knows that. Here for instance the Drone program is having some funny side effect, which is why it is also so popular. The Arab or tribal way is simply if you walk into my house and shoot my family, I, or my tribal brothers, will now hunt down you or your family and tribe, and do the very same thing. Easy. Now with the Drones however, even so they know who is actually behind it, they still don't have anything tangible, as in a real person, hence are left highly confused with what to do. They can not retaliate. However, of course if now somebody comes along and grooms that hatred and gives it a target among the tribes, many a young man will go then and join the ranks of those fighting America, which is mainly Al Qaeda.
Funnily enough, the banner of the Houtis, which by now is all over the place, on walls, next to roads, says in its first two sentences "Death to Israel, Death to America", yet, Al Qaeda and the Houtis hate each other with a passion.
Anyway, back to the Fanatic Muslim problem.
ISIL has attracted many. How did they become so powerful in so many ways? Veteran fighters who have been in Pakistan and Afghanistan say they have not many anything as organized, coordinated, well equipped and clearly highly trained as them. And those Afghan Mujahedin sure kicked some ass! The Kurds are shocked! Bless them.
The British told the Americans they are making a big mistake shortly after they put their former close buddy Saddam up the rope. All his Generals and Officers came from one side. The Americans installed the other. So basically all of a sudden you have a jobless and pissed off army with fuck all to do. Same thing happened to Khomeini shortly after he took over Iran. He almost wiped out all the Generals and Officers of the 5th largest army on the planet that time, as they all belonged to the Shah. Thank God Saddam shortly after started a war with Khomeini, resulting in Khomeini calling many a General down from the chopping block so to please fly those planes and lead the left overs from the army. Surely they wouldn't mind as they were about to die shortly anyway. True story.
So back to ISIL and all this radical movement. You got a huge capable pissed off military that has everything an army dreams about. Know how, equipment, detailed knowledge of where the country keeps its weapons and what are the weak spots, now add a bit of radicalism and propaganda to it, and many a rich Arab will send you a monthly check, sponsored by the never ending need for oil by mainly America and West European countries. The irony!
No, you as in a country, were the first and harshest to change your life style. that's for sure.
But just like me, your Government learned what to watch out for and to kick ass, whereby Europe is still what I consider full of tree huggers. I just have to look around here. Not a single American with any of the UN organizations. Apart from the lone lunatic raving reporter who falls into that same category, i.e. Luke, you will not find any Yank moving around here anymore. The only ones are with the US Embassy, and that place got turned into a fucking castle!
But Europeans? All of our UN friends are from there, Asia or Middle East. We must help this poor place. Look at how beautiful it could be. Surely if we help enough there will be some change, some hope. Fuck it I say.
What to do? I have not the slightest idea. At least not right now as I'm going to join Jade now in the bathtub, then get up at 4am to fly out into the desert to check our camps for a week. To me it's simply all just dirty business. If there is an office in the States that would bring out a few million people onto the streets if they shoot it down, trust me, it is being considered right now! White House would be a dream come true. But those are well known and watched over by your security guys. I actually think they must have slapped themselves when they heard about those lone lunatics that managed to get into it.
"Mashalla Ahmed, surely if some silly infidel can walk into that place of evil like into a shopping mall, why not one of us?!"
"Because of the beards Ali, because of the beards."
Seriously, what the heck does IMO mean?
