An FBI team arrived in Israel today to work with Israeli police investigating last week's Hebrew University bombing that killed seven people, including five Americans.
I imagine the conversation at the bomb scene goes something like this:
FBI agent Chris: I can't imagine who would have done something like this, Biff.Seriously though, the FBI isn't likely to add much value to an investigation, as such. I assume that they're there mainly to help provide justification for a U.S. move against Hamas. And as an American, I hope that our response will be more comprehensive and less restrained than the Israeli responses have been. Posted by Stefan Sharkansky at August 05, 2002 12:24 PM
FBI agent Biff: I can't either, Chris. You don't think it could have been terrorism, do you?
FBI agent Chris: I doubt it.
Shin Bet agent Shlomo: Guys, we already know who did it. The Hamas claimed credit for it already. Look at this. Shlomo shows them the Hamas web page that claims credit for the blast
FBI agent Biff: Well that doesn't do us any good. It's in Arabic.
FBI agent Chris: Yeah, the FBI isn't going to hire anybody who reads Arabic. Only pot smokers read Arabic. Losers.
Biff doesn't work for the FBI any more.
He's been replaced by Orlando.
This was funny! Loved the FBI dialog stuff. I thought the FBI got trained looking to see if Clinton had an erection in the white house, or if he spent himself while at work. Meaning? They kind'a check out crotches on guys. And, at airports, the older the better, at keeping grandpa from terrorizing passengers while in flight. The less than brilliant strategies of our government absolutely amazes me. But what can ya do? Clinton's left office. And, the FBI prowess hasn't much street value anymore.

Do the MATs (Moslem Arab Terrorists) need the suave and sophisticated CIA to figure out how to strap bombs under toilet seats, etc.? And how great that George Tenet came to Israel - now there's a fellow who loves to help Jews!
(Does anyone know often these birds do a sweep of weblogs to find who in America doesn't just love them?)
The FBI will do nothing as long as Colin Moron Powell is around. The State Dept is such an apologist for Arafat and its murderous friends that nothing will be done. Powell is effectively mooning Bush by having talks with the very people Bush said should be replaced. Why isn't Condo in charge instead of Powell?
