An Al Qaeda website noted yesterday, that between the less than effective Hurricane Katrina relief efforts along with military base closings across the US, that America, the Great Satan, was no longer considered a worthy target for terrorism. "We feel sorry for them," said an Al Qaeda spokesman who preferred not to be identified, but if it were absolutely necessary, he said, reporters could call him Jeff. "I think it's a cool name," he said.

"The Mexican / US border has some interesting possibilities for mischief," said Jeff. "Easy in, easy out. We could storm the border. It could be another Pearl Harbor, except this time it'd be on foot. But why bother? "

Jeff says that plans are underway locate an interim target for terrorist attacks "while America gets its act together." Speculators feel that North Korea might be a good target since "they're so easy to dislike."
