I don't buy it.

I mean, they may have some ideological differences, but I think they're, and now that Haqqani has the level of assertion that he does, I think there's even in the Al-Qaeda 2.0 book, they talk about the ISIS-K leadership is now directly tied to Haqqani.

but there's still this plausible deniability that could be done.

It wasn't Al-Qaeda, that was ISIS.

You know what I mean?

So I think that's one that we've got to start, our politicians and our agencies have got to start looking at that, I think.

The other one I think you see is the levels of attack could be so horrific and so localized.

that there would be an emotional overreach on the part of the United States, where the only thing we know to do is just send a bunch of 18-year-olds over there with Bradley's fighting vehicles and do it again.

That's what you think the response will be?

Go back to Afghanistan while they're all here?

I think it'll be a heavy response because we won't know what to do.

You know, there's this story about when the hijacked airliner, one of the airliners was, I think it was the one that ended up going down in Pennsylvania.

But they scrambled a couple of jets out of D.C.

They didn't have time to put armament on them.

And Penny was one of them, is her first name.

But they went up, and so their mission was to ram the airliner.

That was what they were going to have to do.

They were going to have to ram it.

And they got up too late.

It had already happened.
