Al Qaeda calls for a cyber attack tomorrow. Do they know how to use a computer?

Answer 1

Your ignorance is disgracing those who are religious. Please read your Bible and see how open-minded and loving your god is portrayed. I am quite certain that should Jesus ever meet you, he would be quite saddened to see you using his name.

Answer 2

This is the first I've heard about this...

Of course they know how to use computers. Some members of Al Qaeda have college educations and make a living off of technology. Give them a bit of credit, even if they are complete idiots.

Answer 3

YOUR BIGGEST MISTAKE IS TO UNDER ESTIMATE THESE TERRORISTS!!!
They have one agenda and that is to kill you. They are smart, well educated and well financed. Get your head out of your A** and do some research on the bastards and you will see we are in a worldwide war for survival.
See attached please.

General Hawley, is a newly retired USAF 4 star general. He commanded the Air Combat Command [our front-line fighters and bombers] at
Langley AFB, VA. He is now retired and no longer required to be politically correct. A true patriot!

"Since the attack [9-11], I have seen, heard, and read thoughts of such surpassing stupidity that they must be addressed. You've heard them too. Here they are:

1) "We're not good, they're not evil, everything is relative."

Listen carefully: We're good, they're evil, nothing is relative. Say it with me now and free yourselves. You see, folks, saying "We're good" doesn't mean, "We're perfect." Okay? The only perfect being is the bearded guy on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. The plain fact is that our country has, with all our mistakes and blunders, always been and always will be the greatest beacon of freedom, charity, opportunity, and affection in history. If you need proof, open all the
borders on Earth and see what happens.

2) "Violence only leads to more violence."

This one is so stupid you usually have to be the president of an Ivy League university to say it. Here's the truth, which you know in your heads and hearts already: Ineffective, unfocused violence leads to more violence. Limp, panicky, half measures lead to more violence.
However, complete, fully thought through, professional, well executed violence never leads to more violence because, you see, afterwards,
the other guys are all dead. That's right, dead. Not "on trial," not "re-educated," not "nurtured back into the bosom of love." Dead.

3) "The CIA and the rest of our intelligence community have failed us."

For 25 years we have chained our spies like dogs to a stake in the ground, and now that the house has been robbed, we yell at them for
not protecting us. Starting in the late seventies, under Carter appointee Stansfield Turner, the giant brains who get these giant ideas decided that the best way to gather international intelligence was to use spy satellites. "After all, (they reasoned,) you can see a license plate from 200 miles away." This is very helpful if you've
been attacked by a license plate. Unfortunately, we were attacked by humans. Finding humans is not possible with satellites. You have to use other humans. When we bought all our satellites, we fired all our humans, and here's the really stupid part. It takes years, decades to infiltrate new humans into the worst places of the world. You can't just have a guy who looks like Gary Busey in a Spring Break '93 sweatshirt plop himself down in a coffee shop in Kabul and say "Hiya, boys. Gee, I sure would like to meet that bin Laden fella. "Well, you can, but all you'd be doing is giving the bad guys a story they'll be telling for years.

4) "These people are poor and helpless, and that's why they're angry at us."

Uh-huh, and Jeffrey Dahmer's frozen head collection was just a desperate cry for help. The terrorists and their backers are richer than Elton John and, ironically, a good deal less annoying. The poor helpless people, you see, are the villagers they tortured and murdered to stay in power. Mohammed Atta, one of the evil scumbags who steered those planes into the killing grounds is the son of a Cairo surgeon.
But you knew this, too. In the sixties and seventies, all the pinheads marching against the war were upper-middle-class college kids who
grabbed any cause they could think of to get out of their final papers and spend more time drinking. It's the same today.

5) "Any profiling is racial profiling." Who's killing us here, the Norwegians? Just days after the attack, the New York Times had an article saying dozens of extended members of the gazillionaire bin Laden family living in America were afraid of
reprisals and left in a huff, never to return to studying at Harvard and using too much Drakkar. I'm crushed. Please come back. Let's all stop singing "We Are the World" for a minute and think practically. I don't want to be sitting on the floor in the back of a plane four seconds away from hitting Mt.Rushmore and turn, grinning, to the guy
next to me to say, "Well, at least we didn't offend them."

SO HERE'S what I resolve for the New Year: Never to forget our murdered brothers and sisters. Never to let the relativists get away
with their immoral thinking. After all, no matter what your daughter's political science professor says, we didn't start this. Have you seen that bumper sticker that says, "No More Hiroshimas"? I wish I had one that says, "No More Pearl Harbors."

Answer 4

Yes I'm sure they do, but I'm a bit worried G. W. Bush doesn't, may think that big red button on this desk is the restart button.

Answer 5

Al Qadea works for the U.S. Government.

Answer 6

Are you serious? The US sold them the technology, so I am sure they know how to use a computation device (computer).

Answer 7

this group is rather proficient in the use of technology. kind of makes the idea of their trying to bring back a 13-th century caliph style government kind of odd.

Answer 8

cyber attack?! whatever


yeah they know how to use computers i guess, since they post their letters on websites.

Answer 9

I'm so scared!!!!! How on earth will I ever survive without my computer? HELP! HELP!

Answer 10

Underestimating your enemy often leads to divine mistakes.
