Another plot to blow up an American jet passenger plane has been foiled by the CIA. Like the Christmas Ball Bomber of the recent past, this plot also involved the placement of the PETN bomb beneath the family jewels so as not to be inspected by the TSA, but this just demonstrates the holes in al Qaeda's intelligence when it comes to the TSA and their willingness to put their hands where one only gets permission during the honeymoon. Their new motto: "Over One Million Groped." But this bomb was more sophisticated and less easily detectable as it had no metal.
The plot for the bombing coincides with the take down of Osama bin Laden last May. If you believe one administration story, it seems that President Obama has been aware of this bomb plot for months but it has only now gone public, and it doesn't appear that Obama had given it much attention until now. But when asked about possible plots several months ago, it appears they were in the dark. Who knows what the truth is--Obama wouldn't lie, would he?
So, it seems that the war on terror is over and now we can begin the war on actual people who are trying to kill us. Now al Qaeda is operating large in Yemen, and this is probably their headquarters (if you can call the dumps they inhabit headquarters). This may be an indication that al Qaeda is zigging and zagging, but we must remember that any group of religious warriors who are willing to kill themselves to kill you and then get to heaven, are not going away without a fight.
