Funny thing is that some of the nuts that are bashing the Boston response, are the ones that are or advocate for building underground bunkers and stockpiling weapons and food.

When the gubmint comes to getchya stay above ground and fight like men!

One thing for certain, our media in US does not have any validity or integrity. Reporting an Arab national was responsible and spreading erroneous news, as usual.

Of course what can we expect from Fox or cnn, theres a reason Indep. media is increasing in ratings, and 'mainstream' corporate news cannot be trusted.

Now you're just repeating yourself because you don't have anything else to say, and for some reason you don't want to give credit where credit is due. Just why is that?
The only credit due is to the concerned citizens who found the suspects.

I agree, we need to adopt the Israeli tactic for dealing with terrorism and have another country pay for our Homeland Security.

Thats exactly what would happen. And those 20 shut downs would cost the US economy $6 billion. Thats a lot of economic damage to inflict with just 20 cheap pipe bombs.

Israelis should be last ones to compalin about what we did in Boston! It a Lockdown every single day of the year on the West Bank and Boston didn't wake up to military checkpoints throughout the City of Boston. The US Army didn't send tanks to make a show of force and to blast into rubble a few homes or apartment buildings containing suspected terrorists like the Israelis do on the West Bank. They also did not arrest a couple thgousand people of islamic heritage. Finally the USAF didn't send a few F-16s or F-15s to blast a few blocks in Cambridge or Watertown like the IDF routinely does in retailation on the West Bank, Lebanon and Gaza.

I wouldnt have a problem with it but do you know how many crybabies will come out and complain if we did that?

They have security checkpoints at shopping malls, IDF walking around on the streets and teachers with assault rifles.
