al-Qaeda Threatens Canada (Again)

For selling the USA oil! They didn't mention the fact that Canadian troops have been handing the Taliban's behind to them in Afghanistan. I'd like to think that's a big part of it though.

Via CTA: Al Qaeda's Saudi wing is calling for attacks on all oil suppliers to the United States, listing Canada among its targets.
In a message posted on its website, the al Qaeda Organization says Canada's oil and natural gas facilities should be attacked in order to "choke the U.S. economy."
"It is necessary to hit oil interests in all regions which serve the United States not just in the Middle East. The goal is to cut its supplies or reduce them through any means," reads the posting on the organization's Arabian Peninsula e-magazine.
"We should strike petroleum interests in all areas which supply the United States ... like Canada."
Canada is the main supplier of both oil and natural gas to the U.S. Mexico and Venezuela are the other western nations singled out in the group's call to arms.

Heh, they threatened Hugo too. Ironic isn't it?

1 "... the fact that Canadian troops have been handing the Taliban's behind to them in Afghanistan..."

Heh heh heh heh heh. Yes indeed, they have been :-)

But seriously we need to beef up the security and survivability of the lines of energy flow between the two countries. Canada also supplies a lot of (hyro)electric power to the U.S. from Quebec and elsewhere.

2 Maybe but you know al-Qaeda, rather than actually try and do anything like that, they'll just murder some innocents.

3 I met some Canadian troops at a bar in Guam in 2002. Hilariously cool and brave guys. Don't ever get into drinking games with them though. *arg*

Money Exchange:

Hucbald: "Thanks for being US allies in Afghanistan."

Burly Canadian enlisted guy with wrists as thick as my neck:

"Hell, we're just happy you invited us to the party."

4 DUmmies, Kossacks, and Hufftards soon to call for the USA to stop importing oil, cause we are annoying the peaceful muzzies.

5 You're right about that Howie.
Case in point, their thwarted attempt last year at attacking locations in Toronto and Ottawa.
