Jordan thwarts al Qaeda plot

| October 21, 2012

Fox News is reporting that the kingdom of Jordan claims that it has foiled a massive plot by it’s own citizens who brought explosives and weapons from Syria to stage a kingdom-wide attack against civilian targets;

“They were plotting deadly terror attacks on vital institutions, shopping centers and diplomatic missions,” he said. “They sought to destabilize Jordan,” he said. “They plotted against Jordan’s national security.”

Jordan’s state TV broadcast headshots of the suspects — all in their 20s and 30s with most of them sporting long beards — identifying them as “militants.”

A statement by Jordanian intelligence said an investigation showed that the group “adopts the ideology of Al Qaeda” and that it nicknamed its terror plot as “9/11 the second” — a reference to the Amman hotel blasts, which happened on Nov. 9, 2005.

Since June, the suspects have been surveying targets across the country, bringing in rockets from Syria to use in the alleged plot, the statement said.

Well, it seems that US troops have arrived just in time. And, oh, by the way, al Qaeda “explosives experts” from Iraq were advising the militant Jordanians. And there was also a mention of “chemical weapons” that were to be used against civilians. Wonder where those came from.

Wait, didn’t Obama tell us that Al Qaeda was on the run? Then he dropped that reference from his speeches? So, they were on the run before they weren’t on the run? I is so confused….

The chemical weapons did not come from iraq. Rachael Maddow and Code Pink told me there weren’t any weapons of mass destruction and Bush made it all up to seize oil for Dick Cheney and halliburton.

“They plotted against Jordan’s national security.” Sounds like that’s that. Line ’em up and shoot ’em. Next item.

Now I know why radicalism, left or right, is so attractive to people. They don’t have to wash up or shave. It encourages bad personal hygiene, and no one will come near them because they smell worse than a camel farting.
