CAIRO, EGYPT — The Pakistani Taliban has claimed responsibility for the failed car bomb attack in Times Square in New York City
You know, there is something that just doesn't meet the eye here. It was such an amateurish attempt, and now "The Pakistani Taliban" is taking credit for it. "The Pakistani Taliban" is a huge generalization of a lot of different groups, and there is no specific group mentioned, just the general Pakistani Taliban.
Could this have been a false flag operation planned by somebody? Could the bomb have been a dud for a reason, with it's only real purpose to instill fear in Americans, to socialize us for yet another war of some kind, or to socialize us for expanding operations in Afghanistan? In connecting the dots, those dots could lead anywhere.
BTW, I am just playing Devil's advocate here, and attempting to get some discussion going on this angle, in order to see where the discussion might lead.

~10 years since the hostilities started, and they can still infiltrate New York City.
Can be spun five ways: [1] the wars in Afghanistan/Pakistan are fruitless, and we are still as vulnerable as ever; [2] the mission isn't complete; [3] the Iraq excursion was an unnecessary detour, and our real threat has always been the Taliban/FATA al-Qa'ida; [4] Bush failed; [5] Obama failed.
Infiltrate New York? It's not a secure location. Anyone with a car, bike, train ticket, helicopter, wheelchair, skateboard, or pair of legs can get in.

No connection..
The main 4 terrorists in the 7/7 bombing were British and Jamaican.
Were they Islamic?

That is not the group Catz was talking about
A few Pakistani immigrants (including a doctor I believe) used the same method as a means to try to set off a car bomb at Heathrow I believe. It failed to blow up. Instead it just caught fire causing the suspects significant burn injuries
Yeah they were Muslims.
of course, but if they're Pakistan Taliban then should have one hell of a time.
You just cant walks right into Mordor.
Yeah that is, what I think too Catz Part Deux that this was someone who sympathized with the Taliban.

I thought when Obama was elected this nonsense would stop.
What happened?
