BND hysterical again
Well, not really. It’s just that whenever American intelligence agencies do this kind of thing, it gets laughed and sneered at and called conspiratorial at best and hysterical at worst, or vice versa. Well, at least it does over here. Germans are generally much more cool, calm and collected than Americans are, you see. So that’s why whenever the German BND issues one of its monthly warnings about imminent al-Qaida attacks to take place in Germany which never take place, this time because al-Qaida has set up a new base in North Africa somewhere (huh?), well, people get hysterical, I mean conspiratorial, I mean listen.
That Germany still has a lot of its North African operatives still operating down there shouldn’t really surprise anybody, but a lot of these guys must be pretty old by now and, like, how reliable can these reports be (think senility and Alzheimer’s)? And that Germany should feel more threatened by an al-Qaida base in North Africa than one in, say, Pakistan is not really clear to me either, but then again I’m not an intelligent, I mean intelligence guy.
Anyway, Germany’s top spook has just announced that "The BND is monitoring with great concern what is growing over there, which has a new quality and is bringing the jihad to our door."
Germany is of course known the world over for its staunch stand against all things unpleasant and un-nice and uncomfortable to hear and many objective observers now believe that international Islamic terrorism might actually be one of them. Not that they would ever actually do anything against it or anything (like, say, shoot at them), but they are “monitoring the situation with great concern” at least.
I just hope that the CIA doesn’t come out with the same report any time soon, then the whole thing will have been nothing but another big scam.

That is hilarious. But the fact is other countries don't *have* to do anything because us "hysterical" Americans will be there to defend people the world over. Hell we still have military IN Germany.
Funny observation though. (Comment this)
