Dontcha Miss the Old Days…

You know what I mean. The old days back when we knew that the Russians were the bad guys. Back when we only had to worry about mutually assured destruction. Where if things went south, they really went south.

I was think about that when I heard this story on BBC this morning. It’s just some good old Spy v. Spy corniness. I was thinking, “Gee, that wasn’t really that bad of a time.” But you know what, it sucked worrying about whether some crazy Premier or President would accidentally blow up the whole world. This time around we are really talking about a slow descent into hell.

 UPDATE II: ahhhh well I keep reading and I keep getting vindicated.  I hate it when I’m right, I really do….If you remember reading this post, I asked how smart could these idiots have been if they couldn’t even figure out how to convert a video to a dvd. Well they are so tactical it seems that they went to a local Circuit City to find out how. Geeeeee, sounds like some real “masterminds” at work doesn’t it?

The FBI learned of the alleged plot when the men went to a Circuit City store and asked a clerk to transfer a jihad training video of themselves onto a DVD. Also, they mistakenly thought an AK-47 costs $500, instead of $1,500 to $3,000.

Also, one of the men, Tatar, called a Philadelphia police officer in November, saying that he had been approached by someone who was pressuring him to obtain a map of Fort Dix, and that he feared the incident was terrorist-related, according to court documents.

uh-huh, terrorists that call the police. Hmmm masterminds indeed.
