You can't reasonably argue that failure to use a non-obtainable weapon is evidence that there's no interest in using it. I'm not trying to make the above argument. Where and why did you get the impression I had? It's the argument you're effectively making when you drag the foreign bombings in. The point is, this is a group which has demonstrated an interest in using car and truck bombs. It's a group which has demonstrated a willingness to use truck bombs when aircraft aren't available. If you limit your argument to al-Qaida attacks within the US they used commercial airliners (i.e., airplanes) 50% of the time (assuming both WTC attacks were made by al-Qaida). -- Paul Baechler |
