Al Qaeda Trying to Change the Look of Terror, Now They “Look Like You” to Justify Beast Spy Programs
The nation’s spymaster said the United States faces an imminent threat of attack from al Qaeda fighters training today along Pakistan’s mountainous frontier with Afghanistan.
And the attackers, he says, will look like many of us.
“It’s very clear to us that al Qaeda has been able, over the past 18 months or so, to establish a safe haven along the Afghan/Pakistan border area that they have not enjoyed before,” CIA Director Gen. Michael Hayden said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” program.
“That they are bringing operatives into that region for training, operatives that … wouldn’t attract your attention if they were going through the customs line at Dulles with you when you’re coming back from overseas,” he said.
U.S. intelligence analysts say al Qaeda knows it can’t return again with an attack by 19 Arabs, as they did during the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Instead, former senior U.S. officials say, these days they favor blond-haired, blue-eyed recruits.
Former senior U-S officials say the Bush administration is particularly concerned that attackers bearing European passports would breeze through U.S. airports.
“The use of Europeans and Americans makes travel much easier, the passports they carry make entry much easier,” said Michael Sheuer, former head of the CIA’s Osama bin Laden unit and author of “Marching Toward Hell: America and Islam after Iraq.”
‘Clear and Present Danger’
The Pakistani government has always had trouble controlling the restive territory that borders Afghanistan. In late 2006, U.S. intelligence and military analysts say, Pakistan privately concluded it had failed in a military campaign to control the territory along its border with Afghanistan.
So President Pervez Musharraf agreed to let the tribal leaders — who are accused of sheltering bin Laden — essentially police themselves.
The result, Hayden says: an “absolute disaster” that presents a “clear and present danger” to the west, particularly the United States.
Hayden said the United States is doing everything it can to capture or kill bin Laden and al Qaeda’s top leaders.
LOL Is that like “the softer side of Sears” campaign? They should try that look on Hillary. I think she would look sexy in a headscarf. Less threatning. Frankly speaking, this new Al Quaida covergirl looks a bit like elle mae Clampet from the Beverly Hillbillies. Guess they are all getting makeovers. Like the “New and Improved Osama Bin Ladin. He looks 15 years younger since he dyed his hair and beard black. He almost looks like the kind of stud that could do great phyisical feats like carting dialisis machinery up hostile barren mountain slopes from cave to cave. Wonder if he is so buff that he packs in his own generator so he has portable electricity to run it on.
They think or do they KNOW we are all idiots?

It’s funny because they always like to make sure you see just enough of the face to see they’re white underneath. It could be anyone. They could live in your town, on your street, or right under your dish towel.
Typically, the headscarfs Muslims wear don’t actually look like dish towels. But, since someone who took this picture was looking to cash in on stereotypes, they clearly went out of their way to wrap this woman’s head in a 70’s style dish rag that reminds me of something that as I child I used to dry dishes with. It’s a cross between that and a Yogi the Bear picnic blanket.
Either way, I can’t say that I’ve ever seen a headscarf looking like that before.
I wonder if that’s a pack of camels sticking out of her front pocket, ya know… just to push the issue that she’s part of a “dangerous cancer” that ironically most people have erroneously linked to the Middle East, while it’s originates right here in America.
