    Taliban Chief Vows 'Amazing' Attack on Washington 'Soon'

    Taliban Leader Vows To Attack D.C. "Soon"

    DERA ISMAIL KHAN, Pakistan — The commander of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility Tuesday for a deadly assault on a Pakistani police academy and said the group was planning a terrorist attack on the White House that would "amaze" the world.
    Yes, his boast is of interest. Yet what seems to be more of interest:

    The AP has spoken to Mehsud several times in the past and recognized his voice, and a request for an interview with Mehsud was submitted through his aide. The militant leader also granted phone interviews to other media organizations
    The AP can get a hold of this guy... but we cannot find him.

    Brilliant.

    This guy has never been to the District of Columbia. There is like 10 cops just hanging out on every corner and the White House has snipers staring at anything that moves.

    In the tourist, government section.


    And then guarding the White House alone is a unit of the US Park Police and the Secret Service. The FBI HRT is easily in range to support as is a battalion of the US Army.

    Not to mention Marines assigned to Yankee White detail. You can't even get close to the White house anymore. I was just there in August and they keep you way the hell back.

    Yeah the streets are blocked off. And the gates have this steel piston thing that comes out of the ground. I don't thing a tank could plow threw it.

    Well Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines on Yankee White Detail (the White House Limos are US Army vehicles, and US Army EOD provides bomb disposal for the Secret Service, also we provide White House Comms. White House cooks are Navy as is the White House Doctor. Air Force One is... well you can guess.)

    That is in the White House. On call in no time are the FBI's HRT (which trains alongside Delta Force and SAS, basically the US equivalent of the SAS for domestic jobs), the 1/3 Infantry Regiment of the US Army (yes, those guys who do funerals are all Infantrymen who keep up with training), 2 other companies of Army Infantry (part of the 4/3), a US MP Company, a US Army Combat Engineer company (specialized in Urban Search and Rescue) and various other units. Now you may say, Farnan they'll just use suicide bombers. Suicide bombers or trucks won't get close enough to scratch the paint.

    Lol Nah dude. Even though my Grandparents are pashtun, they have a long history in the service of the Pakistani Army. My Grandpa was a major general during the 1965 and 1971 wars, while also being part of the first 15 cadets to come out of the Pakistani Military Academy in 1947. Hell, His first battle was against these same goddamn afghanis that plague us to this very day
