548: Mournful Mortician

The real focus and what my concern is, and I think a lot of us have had this conversation, is the lone wolf. I love this guy. You hear that? The lone wolf! It's not a wolf, it's a wolf no it's a wolf yeah What my concern is and I think a lot of us and Mike you know have had this conversation Is the lone wolf. They all kind of realize That we are very sophisticated in our allies And being able to find a major attack So what they're attempting more out of Yemen than any other area Focusing on the United States and having individuals that are under their radar

They know that this is a time when they get attention and can get the message out to their audience. And what he said this time is that Al-Qaeda operatives should land a large strike on America, he said even if it takes years of patience He said that the Boston bombing was an example of that Interesting because in the past he's also talked about lone wolf and small type attacks, and Al Qaeda sympathizers and supporters know what they should do. But the thrust of his message here and quoting directly from this audio message not a video message, an audio message quoting from it... He says We should bleed America economically by provoking it to continue its massive expenditure on its security For the weak point of America is its economy, which has already begun to stagger due to the military and security Expenditure he is trying to target the economy By terror attacks that will cause people to spend more money or making sure they're safe. So there's a couple things here one

We've also got another problem. The fiscal situation in this country is far different than when it was. Budget cutbacks demand that we review exactly how we're spending our money on homeland security... Is this not exactly the message Al Zawahiri was giving, John? What is this? Where did you get all these douchebag clips for one show because it all happens in one. Oh, I see what you said this earlier there was a douche bag theme yes C-SPAN had a meeting. You were just got in a milieu This is like ridiculous No This was every this is they had four different things on c-span that all happened just before or just after 9 11 and then you get yeah And the whole thing is smaller groups lone wolf attacks
