Y'all gonna hate me for this, but I suspect this one is probably a legitimate jihadist. Largely because I remember this story that came out a few days ago, and it lines up with this guy:
http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/...a-calls-for-attacks-inside-united-states?lite
who the US doesn't control, but whose friends Obama wanted to help in Syria. The strike plan falls apart, #1 Al Qaeda gets pissed and says "attack," and 3 days later, we get this.
The pieces fit, but not so perfect like it was constructed. The timelines add up, and the players are high on our drone target list.
I'm as suspicious as anybody and suspected something might happen to encourage the attack on Syria, but this doesn't add up to that. A false flag would have had the perp some kind of Syrian nationalist responding to Assad. This appears to be a jihadist responding to al-Zawahri -- totally counterproductive to a Syrian invasion. If anything, this will make us even LESS likely to bomb Syria to "help the guys who just shot up the DC Navy Yard." It's not an Assad subterfuge either. Assad does not have al-Zawahri under his thumb any more than we do.
Just looking at what's going down, I have a higher confidence than this is just an AQ patsy than I have had on any 'official line' on anything in the last 13 years.
That broken clock had to be right eventually.
Be on the lookout for Congress to introduce "PATRIOT IV - THE FINAL SUBJUGATION ACT" or some such atrocity.
Of course, a rational person says al-Zawahri just called for the attacks publically and out in the open. No oppressive spy regime was necessary to see that one coming.
Cui bono? If we were looking for a false flag to encourage the Syria attack, it sure as hell wouldn't be coming from al-Zawahri!
Of course, the correct response would be to snatch the two left alive up , determine if they were acting in response to al-Zawahri or not, and if so, dispatch a Marque on al-Zawahri and let some enterprising international free agents deliver him to stand trial.
Instead, the idiot in chief is probably going to willy-nilly invade another half dozen unrelated Countries and create a dozen more al-Zawahris perpetuating this cycle to justify further MIC expenditures.
Our response will be 180° wrong, and we are going to run out and make as many new enemies as we can behind this, which is horrible. Overlooking all of that for the moment, this as an indy-cell AQ attack actually passes the sniff-test.
I agree it wasn't Assad or any of his allies like Hezbollah.
But I think it was domestic, probably somebody with a grudge against the military. Why else would they chose a hard target like Navy yard when so many soft targets are available?
And it seems that these folks had military backgrounds.
