“…” said one U.S. official who also asked to remain anonymous out of fear of losing his life for speaking with Western media

Okay that’s pretty good.

Tough to argue with the logic here:

“We’ve seen how veterans in the West get the red-carpet treatment, visiting the sites of their greatest achievements,” said an al Qaeda spokesperson, who remained anonymous out of fear of losing his life for speaking with Western media. “We thought, why not give our members a chance to reflect on their ‘mission accomplished’ moment, just like the American veterans who visit their war memorials?”

oh snap

Wow.
