“We have intercepted electronic communication indicating that al-Qaeda members are actively plotting to stay out of the way while America as we know it gradually crumbles under the weight of its own self-inflicted debt and disrepair,” FBI Deputy Director Mark F. Giuliano told the assembled press corps. “If this plan succeeds, it will leave behind a nation with a completely dysfunctional economy, collapsing infrastructure, and a catastrophic health crisis afflicting millions across the nation. We want to emphasize that this danger is very real.”

Was Vietnam a threat to the West? Was Iraq a threat to the West? Was Afghanistan a threat to the West? Are Palestine or Lebanon threats to the West?

As bin Laden said, the US loves to open another war front. It doesnt matter if people in a place ever heard of the US. The US will find reasons to go there and bomb there if the people just want to be left alone and not suck on the dick of the empire.

And like every empire in decline the US and their fascist pitbull Israel are overextending while alienating more and more of their allies through constant aggression.

Bin Laden was working for the Americans before he was working against them.

Guy saw regime change from the inside out, both as a US backed ~~terrorist~~ freedom fighter and a Saudi Prince.

Bro you're sounding like a real threat to the West right now.

Out of curiosity, do you have any oil or commies nearby?
