Pakistan Calls S. Africa al-Qaida Target

This is a curious story.
Pakistan Calls S. Africa al-Qaida Target

Al-Qaeda, that nasty, diabolical and (insert preferred invective) lot are a lot even nastier things, but they are not politically inept, well not until now, if these reports are to be believed.

Their targets have always shown political intent and suss. This is a crowd that believes in, "know thy enemy," unlike some people we know -- nudge, nudge, ;) ;). This is especially interesting because they are a loosely, organized vitriol, vitriol outfit? infit? disfit? whatever.

Even this bizarre obsession with snatching unsuspecting foreign truck drivers in Iraq has a political theme. . .

So picking on South Africa is an interesting development because, if true, then they have changed tactics. Nelson Mandela called my Dubya "a threat to world peace" long before it was Prada fashionable to do so, back in the day, when it was Prava-loving and anti-American to disagree with the annointed One. The SA govt has persistently been on the wrong side of the issues, to the chagrin of those beautiful people in the White House.

In the spirit of "know thy enemy," there is a lot to worry about. The let up on "Osama Bin Forgotten" and ignoring real and complex solutions is now more telling than ever. Dubya, darling, we are so much safer, now.
Peace.
