An American Lion

Thanks to Brian Ross, I’m now in a tizzy:

American law enforcement officials have been told to be on the lookout for female suicide bombers who may attempt to enter the United States, law enforcement authorities tell ABC News.

One official said at least two of them are believed to be connected to al Qaeda in Yemen, and may have a non-Arab appearance and be traveling on Western passports.

The threat was described as “current” but not imminent, said the official.

“They have trained women,” said former White House counterterrorism official Richard Clarke, an ABC News consultant.

Separately, Britain raised its terrorism threat level to “severe,” its second-highest level, days before London hosts major international meetings on how to deal with militancy in Afghanistan and Yemen. Britain’s threat level had been labeled “severe” for several years before being lowered last summer to “substantial.”

American officials say a U.S. air strike on Christmas Eve against suspected al Qaeda training camps is believed to have killed many, but not all, of a group of suicide bombers being trained in Yemen.

The man accused of attempting to explode a bomb on Northwest flight 253, Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, told FBI agents there were a number of other people who trained with him in Yemen.

“There are others who are still out there who have been trained and who are clean skins — that means people who we do not have a record of, people who may not look like al Qaeda terrorists, who may not be Arabs, and may not be men,” said Clarke.

Everyone knows Brian Ross is clued in! Oh noes! He’s never wrong about anything.

Look, I hate to point this out, but if that Nigerian 419 scammer turned lonelyhearts terrorist says “clean skins,” he means white people. What I want to know is, who is condemning this man for his blatant racism? Wait, that takes me off on a tangent I don’t want to go off on.

Look, if he says that they “may not be men,” then he means virgins. He means dudes who have not lain down with a lady as of yet. Guys who can’t score. He’s not talking about women. Women are too smart to fall for that al Qaeda bullshit. Women can convince men to do just about anything. Men cannot convince women to do anything, unless they’re American college girls, and then they can be convinced to kiss each other and flash their breasts.

Anything beyond that, forget it. I don’t put a lot of stock in this. I think that this fellow was just a plant, a patsy if you will. This is what happens when you are reactive, and when you don’t have a strategy. You can be led down a lot of blind alleys. This is what happens when you tie your military in knots fighting costly wars of occupation when, really, they should be rested and going to wherever you want them to go to disrupt enemy operations and throw the terrorists back on their heels.

We are not going to win a war on these people until they are paralyzed and afraid to make a move. We are not going to accomplish anything unless they are reeling and confused about what our next unpredictable move against them is going to be.

God, I need a greenie right now.
