Are they hoping to get lucky on attacks that would score a media frenzy? Absolutely. Showing a US ship damaged by missile or mortar fire would be shown to be a defeat for the US, regardless of any actual damage to the ship or whether any US sailors or Marines were casualties.
And how will al Qaeda spin this failed attack? I think the better question will be "how is the media going to spin this attack?"
Well, this story confirms my original observation. The media is trying to turn this into a win for al Qaeda.
