Al Qaeda’s bad reputation

It is always pleasant to be proven right by facts. Two weeks ago I said:

It would appear that, contrary to current opinion that equals terrorists to “evil geniuses”, they have an uncanny tendency to shoot themselves in the foot.

Now we learn of more botched attempts to create chaos in Saudi Arabia:

The terrorist organization piled up more failures and defeats, adding to their growing reputation as loudmouthed losers.
First, Saudi Arabian police cornered and killed the head of al Qaeda operations in the kingdom last week. In another battle, fifteen Islamic terrorists were killed in a three day gun battle. The terrorists used women and children as human shields, which did little for their heroic reputation. The Saudis used special police for these operations.

I hope they keep it up.
