Baitullah Mehsud, the leader of the Pakistani Taleban, threatened yesterday to launch an attack on Washington that would “amaze everyone in the world” as he claimed responsibility for the raid on a police academy in Lahore and boasted of a new regional militant alliance.

Mr Mehsud, for whom the United States offered a $5 million reward last week, said that Monday's raid, which killed seven police officers, was retaliation for US drone attacks on Pakistan's northern tribal areas, now the main hub of Taleban and al-Qaeda activity.

1. Why are the "attacks" on the U.S. always so BIG & comprehensive compared with....

...the smaller scale activity seen in other countries?

Odd, huh?

4. Everything's bigger in Texas.

Not that I'm implying anyone from Texas helps them out in any way. No sir, I would never in a million years want to imply that. Forget everything I said.

12. As the USA stomps across the globe as a superpower creating millions of enemies

.
.
.

noone should be surprised when another 911 style attack happens on its soil.

Iraq had NOTHING to do with 911, yet the World is still complacent about doing anything to get the USA out of their country.

Never mind all the other nations the USA is meddling with -

but watch out

when the bully nation stumbles,

many will rush in to kick it to the finish.

Some Presidents should read, AND UNDERSTAND more history methinks.

ANOTHER SURGE ???

yeah

that'll work

(sigh)

14. He's just pissed because

the reward on him is only $5 million and the reward for Osama bin Laden is $50 million.

makes him look like a second rate jihadi. Oh, wait .....

15. "the leader of the Pakistani Taleban"

Does he claim to be the leader of the Pakistani Taleban? When did he become the leader of the Pakistani Taleban? Did he give an acceptance speech upon becoming the leader of the Pakistani Taleban? For example, I imagine him thanking his supporters and expressing respect for his rivals in the campaign for the position of leader.

16. OOOO....... I'm so scared....

I know it will be "The Mother of All Attacks"..... Any American is twelve thousand times more likely to die from cancer than from anything any terrorist group can throw at us. Yet we make a big deal out of this type of crap....More people die every two days from tobacco related causes than died from terrorism on 9-11 and yet we still subsidize the tobacco growers..America is definitely not a very smart nation.
