The Pentagon, also, a rather well thought out target, given its mission.

While I agree with you that many of the jihadists are probably not very sharp tools, I'm inclined to think the people leading those movements are nobody's fools.

It was a well thought out target, as was the Pentagon. However, my comment was that they didn't care who they killed in making their statement. Not that they didn't choose targets well. They just aren't that loyal to the idiots who defend them.
