Bin Laden endorses failed attempt

Classic bullshit bravado:
"CAIRO – Osama bin Laden endorsed the failed attempt to blow up a U.S. airliner on Christmas Day and threatened new attacks against the United States in an audio message released Sunday that appeared aimed at asserting he maintains some direct command over al-Qaida-inspired offshoots."

Note the classic example of taking credit where none is due: bin Laden steps in and endorses, as an after thought, the stupidity of those who would kill themselves for no purpose. ISuch an act has one result, the myth of bin Laden remains alive.

Unfortunately. bin Laden is only a myth. A failed leader of those without futures for whom suicide is the only possible means to gain their fleeting fifteen minutes of fame.

Does the mythical Jihad achieve anything -- aside from the death of suicidal misfits and semi-educated idiots who lack the brains to achieve anything meaningful?

If we examine thier actions in terms of the Koran, we find that they violate every specific prohibition of moral conduct. They kill innocents. They kill themselves. They are not soldiers -- for they lack a defined leader, a chain of command which defines an army and nation or national status. There is no goal, or objective beyond random pointless murder. Even the most incompetent criminal has a goal. These idiots have none.

There are only a few more stupid, more incompetent, more self-destructive than al-Qaeda ... they are those who say we are at war. There is no war. War's are between nations ... not between police, or policing authorities in the form of martial law enforcers, and criminals. Without a doctrine, a nation, a constitution or charter, al-Qaeda and other terrorist -- or, more properly, anarchist -- groups are and shall remain a passing annoyance to the civilized world. They are barbarians and vandals in the most derogatory sense of those terms.
