Objective: America's arch enemies plot to destroy New York, and blow up the Pentagon

Oh those stupid Russians and stupid Chinese are so behind Afghanistan in technology to attack America.
While Russian and China were stuck in the dark ages with this:




and this:



Afghanistan was truly ingenious, with THE most cutting edge weapons capabilities known to man.

On September 11, 2001 , the world trembled in fear, as a Afghanistan unveiled just a couple of the weapons in their devastating arsenal
and unleashed hell:



Only George Bush was man enough to stand against this terrifying technology, even with the pitiable and limited resources available to him.
Today , the brave struggle goes on, against the diabolically advanced titans known as Afghanistan and Iraq and their array of terrifying box cutter weaponry,
stewardesses and meal trays.

America even re-elected George Bush, the man some said had failed to protect America , because they UNDERSTOOD FULLY the menacing technological might of Afghanistan.

Bush deserved better than to be blamed for failing to protect Americans, because AMericans UNDERSTOOD FULLY that no past president had ever faced a foreign political threat as MASSIVE, INTELLIGENT, and advanced as Afghanistan and its box cutters.

Bush was re-elected because America needed a real man.

Afghanistan = superior technology.

yes, and see how important it was to disable the fearful arsenal of Iraq before- oh, wait.

The Hijackers were Saudi, Egyptian, Lebanese and from the UAE.

What's all this about Afghanistan and airliners and box cutters?

I think the point is that possession of mighty nuclear arsenals is (a) not necessary to cause maximum damage to your enemy, however powerful, and ( b ) that possession of a mighty nuclear arsenal is no deterrent at all to someone wishing to attack you. Which is true when you think about it, isn't it. Saddam was attacked because (they claimed) they thought that he may have had nuclear weapons, and they were threatening to attack Iran for the same reason, only for the wind to be (probably temporarily) taken out of their sails when Iran said they they'd stopped making them. So what they were saying to Iraq and Iran was, "if you do have nuclear weapons (or even if we think you might), we'll attack you". So so much for the deterrent.

Afghanistan? The Taliban were Al Qaeda's biggest supporters, at any rate.

I cannot believe how gullible and ignorant Americans are. Does anyone actually think the Chinese and Russians and all the other nuclear rivals of the U.S. were intelligent enough to build a massive nuclear arsenal , but too stupid to think of just flying planes into the Pentagon? Does anyone REALLY think it was that easy to blow up New York all along, but the Chinese decided instead to waste billions on a gigantic navy, army, air force, and nuclear arsenal?
Wake up!

all that technology means nothing compaired to three things, bravery, smarts, and being crazy. the terrorist were just those three things. they didn't need no damn technology. they were smart enough to come over here without anybody knowing. they were brave enough to highjack our planes, and they were crazy enough to crash them into our buildings. technology means nothing. you can say technology was even the reason this happened, we consentrated so much on the russians and chinese we let some 3rd world punks come in and attack us.

then what point are you trying to make? Do, please , enlighten us, won't you.

See...the thing is..what I don't..... understand..... is.... well, zzzzzzzz falling..'sleep mmmh' zzzz



OUCH! OH WHAT THE? I'm awake sir! just resting my eyes! Do I have to do anything?
