Under Cover Vultures and Sharks

Are they really that stupid?!?

I just read this morning where Saudi Arabia has arrested a vulture as an Israeli spy! The vulture had been tagged by an Israeli university as part of a migratory study. The vulture was released and it flew into Saudi Arabian territory where it was captured (just how dumb is this vulture to be captured twice?) by Saudi authorities. They found the radio tracking device with Tel Aviv University on it and of course, concluded that the vulture was in the employ of Israel as a spy. The vulture is currently under detention.

Couple this with the Egyptian politician who last month suggested the shark that attacked and killed and or maimed several tourists may have been sent by the Mossad, and you are getting picture of the thought processes of our enemies. These people are either dumber than a box of hammers or they believe their subjects are and will believe any crap they tell them, or quite probably both.

For the moment, let’s return to the vulture. Let’s just say that it was possible to have a politically conscious vulture who has taken Israel’s side, or we have a material vulture who is just in it for the money. Why would such a sentient vulture agree to having a radio transmitter attached to it with Tel Aviv University boldly printed on it? Or let’s say, on the off chance that the vulture wasn’t a willing participant, that Israel was using the vulture as a spy against his will. Would Israel be so stupid as to label anything on the vulture as coming from Israel? I don’t think so. They have proven to be a little more clever than that. They would have mis-labeled it with something soothing to their arab brothers, something like “Property of Al Quid Athletic Department”. You know, something their enemies would not find suspicious.

And as far as the shark goes, come on now. That’s just plain crazy talk. 

Yes, I know Bugsy Siegel had some shark like qualities, but he wasn’t a real, honest to goodness shark. The last I checked, sharks weren’t capable of rational thought and didn’t show much discrimination within their choices of food categories. I don’t believe they could be taught to check for signs of circumcision before attacking someone frolicking at the beach. 

For this Egyptian politician to say that the shark attack need to be investigated as a Mossad attack with a straight face is amazing. 

Yes, I know there are muslims who are nuclear scientists, that doesn’t change the fact that the majority of those who are so easily convinced that America and Israel are the great satin and should be wiped from the face of the earth, are operating on a 5th century developmental level. I mean, really, who in their right mind arrests a vulture as a spy?????

So I guess, the next question comes, why do we try and use 21st century logic while dealing with people who believe vultures and sharks can be spies and agents?

Maybe we ought to forget all the 21st century nambi pambi crap and solve this problem the way problems were solved in the 5th century.
