NO, don't you twist my words! I said i was doing my duty by notifying the authorities and letting the public know. This topic probably is most relevant to the political talk board, but I posted it here because this board is where the most posters are this time of day.

what do you get if he was wrong? A fricking sticker? I didn't read into his patriotism, nor do I care. You're just reading his actions, or what he said he was going to do, and replying off of that. I really don't give a shite whether he thinks he would jump on the bomb a shoot them or save the day. I'm talking about the realism of the PERFECT target. You obviously don't see bombing walmart as a serious threat.
And your trying to rationalize that a person that would blow themsleves up would NEVER try a dry run a walmart. IT MAKES NO SENSE. How can you even begin to rationalize that? You question the stupidity of making a dry run but never question the stupidity of blowing themsleves up.

where did I say that?
I said if they were gonna blow up Wal Mart they DON'T NEED TO DO A frickING DRY RUN!!!!!!!
Note: I have a bit of experience with "arabs" and I know a little bit about how they act. I lived through 2 suicide attacks in a well secured area, and believe me, they didn't do a fricking dry run there, they certainly wouldn't do one in a fricking wal mart.

The opportunity costs of doing a dry run in a well secured area are much higher than those at a lax security Wal-Mart.

You don't practice blowing yourself up. What do you not get about that? If they were just there casing the place they wouldn't have back packs. You keep acting like these guys are retarded. Yes, they blow themselves up, but before doing so they are pretty tactical about not drawing attention to themselves.

People like Jose Padilla and Richard Reed (the shoe bomber) were borderline retarded if you ask me. Do i think doing a dry run for bombing a store would be stupid? Yes! But do terrorists exhibit intelligent, rational thought when attacking? A lot of the time the answer is no, except when you are talking about attacks that are planned out over many years by Al-qaeda.

I know we are beating a dead horse here with Michael J. Cocks. I just can't believe someone could think that a suicide attack on shoppers at WalMart would not have serious effects on the economy. Anyways, I am going to try to get some sleep, but the adrenaline is still running quite a bit. I will update yall tomorrow if I talk to FBI agents.

I assure you, if they were planning, they would not have been wearing back packs.
Posted on 6/14/08 at 1:43 am to Michael J Cocks
someone check it out. there are two lurkers over there with backpacks on.

Yeah you practice taking other lives. It's not about blowing themselves up. A fricking suicide bomber can stand in the middle of a empty corn field and push the button, but they know that won't make a difference. So why an empty walmart. And i'm not saying this was the case....I don't live in illinois and I don't know the situation. But a can assure you they aren't doing it for shits and giggles, they are doing it to take some lives.

I don't think anyone is arguing this but yet pointing out that there is no practice needed to do it.

Thanks for explaining that to me, I had no idea of what a suicide bombers objectives were.

they fail to realize that planning requires no back pack.

Yeah that's right, you were there so you're point is completely valid. Unless someone here says, "hey something weird happened, let me tell you about it." You're quick to tell them that they are stupid, even though that's why our family and our friends are over there.

why would someone carry backpacks into Wal-Mart?
Maybe they forgot something back in the car?
Dude, bad guys don't target Walmart in Champaign. Seriously. Even if someone did such a thing it would be yahoos without a clue.

Planning? Walmart in a college town at 9 at night? They go in there thinking it's a perfect opportunity to "pull the trigger" but see that not as many people as what they wanted are in there, so they walk out. How hard is this to grasp? You don't want to think, you want to be right. Unfortunately, people have to think about these things.
Are you saying that general lee is wrong for calling the cops?
