Fort Dix murder plot foiled, 6 arrested

[RamblerGambler]

Surprise, surprise, another impractical Terror Plot in America. 6 untrained civilians attacking a Military base are going to accomplish what exactly? Perhaps I'm slightly jaded coming from a navy town with several bases, but first hand experience with base security tells me that a car full of questionable, armed individuals is going to arouse suspicion at the gate.

What I find amusing is the fact that this "plot" seems to have been solved by nothing more than rutine police work. Not by Data Mining our communications or illegal wiretaping sans FISA approval. Just tried, proven methods. The same methods we've been told won't work in this "Post 9/11 world"

Look at what one punk accomplished at Virginia Tech.? This shit is VERY real!

Have a good one!:s4:

It is indeed very real, I don't think people realise just how much of a threat Islam is to the way of life we all enjoy.

It's amazing what some people will go through for 72 virgins and a jug of wine.

To oversimplify this problem as a clash of cultures is not only misguided, its foolhardy. The problem rests with any sort of radical religious interpretation, and lucky us, thats who we have today.

Take a look at history Ambler, just a few hundered years ago you could easily replace Islam in you sentence with Catholicism. Or have we forgotten the crusades, the multiple bloody attempts at retaking the holy land and for what? Nothing. Then came the Inquisition, and those who were deemed blasphamers or those who did not match the accepted level of devotion to official church doctrine found themselves in the clutches of thoroughly pious tortures. For the love of god, The Catholic church fought scientific fact, and quite ruthlessly too. Do you suppose enemies of the church echoed your sentiment amberler, that this religion was "a threat to the life they enjoyed?"

This is one of the very reasons I moved away from organized religion. It seems common sense goes right out the window when these discussions pop up. Yes radical Islam is dangerous, just like radical Christianity and any other radial interpratation of anything. There's no difference between terrrorists of any religion. 72 virgins is just as idiotic as a Path To Heaven for bombing an abortion clinic.

And to conclude this overly long post, I find myself compeled to point out the massive difference between VT and Fort Dix. This would not be an unarmed populous, untrained and confused. These are TRAINED Military personel and they'll be "packing heat" as the expression goes. More worrisome is the idea that these untrained Jihadists could somehow overpower our well trained Military on U.S. soil. Has our once proud military fallen that low?

This bloodbath was stopped by ONE off-duty cop. You doubt our military could do better?

Im sorry but i agree with pisshead after reading & more reading of this story it should be in conspiracy forum....FBI saves Fort Dixs....:S2:

Duh. they were going to attack a "MILITARY" base in wartime. We should have let them go, those guards at the gate with M-16s, they have fully loaded magazines in them and are trained to look for any suspicious idiots that may pose a threat, and are fully trained in killing. it would have been Bye-Bye birdie for those guys, they may have got off a lucky shot, but their demise would have been swift and sure, no long drawn out court bullshit.

They were pretty stupid about it though, i mean they got caught trying to turn their VHS into DVDs....who WOULDN'T have turned them in. Besides, the Gov. said that their plans weren't even thought out very well.

I have taken a look at history, Islam has had a lust for blood since it's very inception. Islam has spread through violence and fear for centuries. Yes the catholic church had a few ropey years, but it has moved on, Islam hasn't it is still using the same primitive doctrine and applying the same stone age laws to people today.

Are you afraid of the Catholic Church now?
Are you as afraid of Hindus as you are Muslims?

LOL 6 guys were going to attack an army base in America lmao with auto matic weapons rlmao and this is your war on terror?guys like this lmao.The american public is suppose to be scared of dumbasses like this.Who is training these guys Wiley Coyote.They forgot their Acme rubber bands so they can shoot themselves outta there once they kill everyone.

You're looking at this too narrow-mindely fish. Yeah, in terms of ultimate physical damge they probably wouldn't have gotten too far but...

- Soldiers on a base in Iraq are on high alert. Soldiers on a base in New Jersey are on pizza alert. In other words, you can cause a lot more damage to someone who isn't expecting it. Sure, they'd be shot down pretty quickly but they'd be sure to take out a decent amount of U.S. soldiers in the process.

-The damage (gain for them) would be more psychological than anything. "We'll attack your bases no matter where you are" Whether or not they were gunned down in the first few minutes they'd score a big victory for the bad guys in this regard. These crazy Albanians would be the best recruiting tool that radical Islam has ever seen. Well...after G. "Dubya" Bush that is .

Are you afraid of the Catholic Church now?

Ask any boy under the ager of 12 that question.
