Pizza Plot Defeated
The FBI, as everyone now knows, foiled a plot by some Muslim men to attack Fort Dix, in New Jersey. They knew the entire layout of the base, thanks to satellite photos and Google Earth. Oops! My research assistant just informed me that they learned the layout of the base from delivering pizzas there, not from satellite photos. They even had a map of the base posted on the wall for the drivers. I guess this operation was a little less high tech than I had suspected.
One question that weighs heavy on my mind is, why are illegal aliens (or any civilians, for that matter) permitted to deliver pizzas to a military base after the events of 9-11? Like the military can’t accept the deliveries at the gate and have a duty driver perform the on-base deliveries?
Neighbors of the individuals arrested in the foiled plot expressed surprise, because they seemed like decent people. Yes, the women members of the families wore head scarves, but neighbors apparently thought that was just a throwback to the 1950’s. Duh! Are some Americans really so naive that they think terrorists will act mean and put up “Terrorist Headquarters” signs? Nope – apparently they’re just plain stupid or something. I hear the same tireless drivel every time someone is arrested for a serious crime, such as homicide. “Oh, he (or she) was a good neighbor and even helped me find my lost cat one time.” Double duh!
The alleged terrorists apparently are as stupid as their neighbors. They never suspected that undercover agents would trick them by not wearing uniforms and flashing their badges. They’re considering filing a lawsuit because their civil rights were violated.
Relatives of the arrested men stated that the men are not terrorists, and only went to a rifle range in the Poconos for clean, wholesome, fun. If I ever need to have someone vouch for someone I don’t know, I intend to start with relatives, because they tend not to be biased. This pretty much establishes the fact that the FBI cooked this whole thing up because one of the agents probably got a bad roofing job from one or more of the men. It’s high time we start restricting the powers of these loose cannon FBI agents.
Investigators announced that they didn’t think this planned operation had any ties to international terrorism, and that anyone who believed this, solely on the basis that all of the foiled perpetrators were Muslims, should be arrested for hate crimes opinions. I certainly don’t believe this, for the record. Maybe off the record, but not for it, so don’t come after me. I mean, don’t most people download terrorist training DVD’s from Al-Quaida? And don’t they also want to kill as many American soldiers as possible?
The news media reported that all of these individuals were in this country illegally. Makes me wonder how they owned houses, and one even had a New Jersey driver’s license! The latter is pretty much astounding, especially to any native-born New Jersey person who has ever tried to get a driver’s license in the state.
So, we can all breathe a little easier, now that the FBI has foiled this alleged terrorist (or non-terrorist) attack. Don’t breathe too deeply, though, because many others are still waiting in the wings.
