Al Qaeda to Blame.....

....for everything, but in this specific instance its the wildfires in California.
Note the obvious linkage between "helicopter saw a guy starting one of these fires" and "Al Qaeda detainee". Certainly its what would hop into my mind....or at least it would if I had a producer screaming in my ear to make the reference we discussed earlier in the week......Not that they plan that kind of thing..no.....

DOOCY: You’re looking live at pictures from San Diego — Santiago, CA, where the wildfires continue. We were talking earlier in today’s telecast with Adam Housley and apparently police officers in a hovering helicopter saw a guy starting one of these fires. And Allison Allison Camerota, an FBI memo from late in June of this year is popping up this morning and it is ominous.

CAMEROTA: This actually has happened for many years in the past as well. An FBI sent out to local law-enforcement said that an al Qaeda detainee had given them some information that the next wave of terrorism could be in the form of setting wild fires

Bush is desperate to distract from the fact that, like Louisiana, Southern California is taking it in the teeth from a natural disaster because federal funds for wildfire control and needed equipment were cut, and the money spent on the wars in Iraq. In both cases, Bush sent most of the National Guard to Iraq.

So, let me get this straight.

Al-Qaeda, having recently switched their concentration from world terrorisim to abstract impressionist art, has sent special sleeper artists into the woods of California by way of a time machine that can only send them back in time naked because of something to do with living human tissue, to set fires to plants, especially dry bushes, as a symbolic display towards US President Bush, indicating their belief that he should be oxidised into loose carbon-based molocules which will cycle through the ecosystem asisting life and eventually giving birth to new living things, as a way to express their new love for him?

It is a horrible idea. The whole point of doing a terror attack is garnering attention to your cause. If no one knows you did it then people know nothing about your cause. In this case it would make you just another petty arsonist.

Besides that a wildfire in southern california around this time is an annual thing, it doesn't invoke terror in an appreciable amount.
