IDIOTS, ETC

We must be doing something right:

The al-Qaeda terrorist network has singled out Australia for mention while claiming responsibility for last week's bombing of the Marriott Hotel in the Indonesian capital Jakarta.

Which killed mainly Muslims, and not a single Australian. Way to go, al-Qaeda; the slow learner’s terrorist network. In other screaming freakweasel news:

The alleged head of the al-Qaeda linked terror group blamed for the Bali bombings and last week's blast at the JW Marriott Hotel today accused the CIA of carrying out the attacks to "discredit Islam."

No, pal. That’s your job.

That's not the head they found on the fifth floor, is it?

It was just another nobody.

I wasn't aware that islame had been given any credit in the first place.

"No, pal. That’s your job."

And he does it so well.

Nope. My head's still attached; it's not mine. Ah, the old trusty, "It was a devious plot by the CIA to blame [fill in the aggrieved group here]" line. Works every time (not). This is the same CIA that failed to predict the collapse of the USSR, failed to prevent 9-11.
