Change you can defeat Al Qaeda with

by Tim Russo on December 29, 2009 · Comments


Al Qaeda seems almost miffed that we aren’t panicking. I can’t really recall Al Qaeda so loudly and immediately claiming credit for any attack, not even 9/11. And yet, they’ve done so here, praising testicle toaster as a failed martyr, making him a banner headline, because the American response isn’t giving them enough ink.

In fact, there is a growing tinge of mockery of this terrorist for toasting his testicles. This dude who can’t light a fuse is gonna raise the terror threat level to orange? Please. It strikes me as practically British – laughing at the Nazis all the way to the rubble pile in the East End. We’re laughing at Al Qaeda, for the first time, in unison, as a country. Think about that.

Make no mistake – in the Muslim world to which Al Qaeda attempts to speak, this episode is a total humiliation, seen as such, and will hurt Al Qaeda. I can’t think of a more effective way to scupper Al Qaeda recruitment than to turn one of their attacks into a worldwide joke. Yes it will enrage them. Yes, they will try harder to hit us again.

But now, we have leadership that can crush them, by turning Al Qaeda’s weaknesses into our strength.

That’s change. Come to think of it….why didn’t we try this before?

1. a little guerrilla marketing would be a very powerful weapon against al Qaeda, I've often thought.

My immediate thought upon reading reports of the incident sent me to a similar conclusion as Russo. In a fiercely patriarchal society, shame can work wonders.

2. TV11 was going to "tighten security" after a cat appeared in their weather garden.

4. Laughter is far more likely to be useful than sending more troops to a lost war.
