Will we ever know the truth?
And someone “takes advantage of a crisis.” Could this be the Taliban taking the fight to our streets? Could be..it is certainly along the model of a few people (in this case, one) slip across your borders, then wreak havoc in the middle of a peaceful neighborhood.
If true, it is a brilliant strategy by the Taliban. They can kill us 10 or 12 at a time, in our streets, at the mall, in our offices, and our leadership can declare things like “we have that many murders a week in Chicago (or DC, or many other places)” to make us think it’s “acceptable losses.”
You can bet the MSM won’t begin a body count, screaming “Number 100/200/300 deaths… next!” or such nonsense…the “movement line” will be the offended, the oppressed and they are only doing it because we are doing it to them sort of story line. You know…payback for the arrogance of America..and guess what? Our President even said we were, so we’ll have to bow our head in shame and “take what’s coming to us” because we earned it.
Just watch…they can “drip” on us, just a little at a time, so it can be dismissed as nothing more than our own internal violence of our “Mean country” does anyhow, so what’s the big deal? Easy to pull off, few logistics, not very costly, and many mini-Mumbais in America, it will be our lot.
It really is genius in a very evil way. From a pure operational planning viewpoint, one person escapes a lot of scrutiny, because they are just one. One person requires far less of a communication trail to coordinate their efforts, making them even more “invisible” to an intelligence gathering system. One person, can keep a secret better than a group. One person doesn’t get carried away at the local Starbucks and, during the conversation with their cohorts, and let something slip verbally, to be overhead and reported/retained.
The one person, can operate, in groups of many, all without the knowledge of the others, doing the same thing at locations across a wide area. It keeps the actual battle plan compartmentalized. It avoids the risk of a Jack Bauer style “tell me who else is involved!” approach, even if it was fully authorized by whoever gets to make that decision based on the political wind direction any given day. The other attacks proceed, and most likely, without a pattern that is discernible.
From a financial standpoint, housing and feeding one person, and supplying them with a vehicle and a gun, and about 100 rounds of ammo (probably can’t get more than this off, before the end comes, in a best case scenario) is a lot less costly than a whole group of people. And, a one bedroom apartment is not hard on the check book. If you’re running on the cheap, then having 5 or 6 guys in a one bedroom place also draws unwanted attention. One man, problem solved.
The attacks don’t have to be time sensitive in execution. In fact, if they are not, then it makes it more difficult to roll up the operation, and, from a media standpoint, someone trying to make the connections between seemingly disassociated events will be looked upon as a conspiracy theorist…up until the whole thing happens and is exposed (bad, bad news), or…if a high profile (read politically connected/political) person becomes either the direct target, or collateral damage of such an attack, at which point, the resources necessary will be applied. Before that…it’ll be “hey…just another crazy person with a gun…move along, nothing to see here…” mindset.
Oh, and then…the anti-gunners will jump on this and tell us it’s a reason we should take arms from the Americans, so the criminals and the Taliban/AQ/Mexican Gangs can roam freely in a “gun free” society, so this won’t happen again. And trust Eric Holder to make sure the LE can’t arrive in time to protect citizens. because they’re too busy protecting “society.”
This is scary at many levels. I hope, at least for the sake of making sure this is prevented in the future, that the scenario I presented above isn’t discounted, until it’s proven it’s actually not the reality of this situation. The model, most unfortunately, fits the mold of many attacks n the middle east the last few years.
Further more, it makes it even more difficult for a Nation to react to the source of the attacks, without looking like they have gone over the edge in the judgment arena, worse so than when 19 men in airplanes attack.
