Not even feeling close to making a big enough statement. And they would want immediate credit. It would be all over Al Jazeera and the chatter would be deafening. But Im just spitballin' here. Whoever did it, I hope they get to explain it to a SEAL team.
I disagree, I think that there is a strong possibility that the coordination came from the mid-east. The evidence is mounting up to that. Besides, in many cases, the point of a terrorist attack is to incite terror, scare or show vulnerability...not necessarily to produce maximum death tolls. Large events such as this are simply an opportunity to showcase that.

The media and their Washington instructors are already leaking out misinformation...That they suspect a dark skinned man dressed in black with an "accent" and to be on the look out for him....God Lord lets not start up this B S again. No one has a clue what really happened ....I did notice that Youtube had videos up in 10 minutes...The explosions looked like something a farm boy would create with some black powder to amuse themselves. I would predict that two twits did this...My sympathy to for the families of those that were murdered and I feel so sorry for the gravely injured.


I just hope this does not start up a new panic that will result in the crushing of more civil and human rights. My advice...don't let this crap get to you. The more they see panic or weeping the more these jerks will want to frighten citizens...Give them nothing.
It would be nice to get all the facts before we demonize any ethnic group.

I'm not sure if anyone already mentioned this but today is the anniversary of Israeli Independence and as you all know today is Tax Day. Both anniversaries are worth considering as factors of significance ......... Edit: And as mentioned below: Birthday of Kim-il Sung, founder of North Korea.

It is also the birthday of the North Korean founder, the grandfather of the current leader.

I flipped over to Piers. He seems genuinely flustered that he can't somehow figure out how to tie guns to this.

Then I flipped to Maddow. My God, could that hideous woman scrunch up her face any more? What a silly woman. Maybe her ears are full of wax and she has to scrunch to hear better. Or somethin'.

Back to Animal Planet.

What facts would those be? No new facts have been discovered.

He merely bowed to pressure.

Funny, really. Such a silly little man.

Seems like an organized effort, but no group has claimed responsibility.

9/11 wasn't claimed immediately either.
