So they expect us to believe (most will actually) that in his diary he said the following:
"In Usama bin Laden's private journal, he kept pressing his followers to find new ways to hit the U.S., including striking smaller cities, targeting trains and planes and killing as many Americans as possible in a single attack." Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011...l-seized-raid/
Imagine that, more useful scare tactics for the government to use to convince us to give up more liberties in the name of protecting ourselves. That's all this is about. Even though the original mission was to capture or kill him we now will have more reasons to justify continuing the war on terror while invading our liberties with security checks and patriot act invasions of privacy. What I wonder is why more people can't see through this stuff. Why do so many fold so easily and believe everything we are told. It is never ending but apparently not obvious enough to people. The war on terror is no different than the war on drugs and the war on poverty. There is no end, it just continues forever, except in wars countries eventually go broke. Though many naively believe that wars stimulate the economy and bring about boom times, but if that were true then why are we still in the worst recession in our history after 10 years of government war spending. But anyway, I guess we need to prepare for more of the same old scare tactics, this time smaller cities are the target. They probably chose to go with smaller cities to scare those who live in them since they probably are the ones who feel safer. And let's not forget trains and planes, which will convince us to let them put security checkpoints in trains too, and maybe buses. I wonder what else they will find out in his journals. I guess the guy just writes down all of his exact plans every night before going to bed. For the longest time I was fine with all of this but at some point you have to ask yourself how long does this go on. If nothing else we are going to literally collapse financially. You can't spend trillions of dollars that you don't have forever. S&P just warned us that we are going to lose our AAA rating which is a very bad thing, and continuing to keep 100,000 plus troops overseas and countless contractors is not going to change that warning. If we lose that rating our dollar will slide down a steep slope to worthlessness.
