Military recruiting station damaged in Times Square explosion

That is disgusting. Glad to hear that it sounds like everybody is OK and the cowards' bomb didn't do much damage

 

still under investigation, but would this qualify as a terrorist attack?

 

Technically anytime someone plants a bomb and sets it off, it can be considered a terrorist attack. I doubt the media will care though since no one got injured.

And BTW, we've had what could be argued as Islamic terrorist attacks in this country in the last couple years. The incident on a college campus with a Muslim running over people with his car. The shooting incident at a Jewish center(I think that was in Seattle). And that mall shooting last year. The media tends to bury these stories though.

Just because a bomb isn't involved, doesn't mean it ain't terrorism.

 

What are you basing your insinuation on? The article says this is similar to 2 bombing incidents in 2005 in NYC at the British and Mexican consulates. Similar device used in all 3 and they were looking for a man on a bicycle back then as well.

 

Your divisive demagogy never fails to disgust me. You care nothing for the troops, except as some GI Joe cartoon caricature instrument in your masturbatory fantasies of a neocon Pax Americana.

You care about as much for the wellbeing of the troops as a horse racing junkie actually cares about the horses who are racing - you care about them as long as they provide you rousing entertainment. Once the race is over, you couldn't care less if someone takes the horse out back and shoots it in the head. But because the race excites you, you try and claim that you love horses.

You are the one who is duplicitous when proclaiming great concern for the troops. The irony of your political rants is stupendous.

 

I'm offended by this remark. I loved Smarty Jones.

 

This is a quote from your linked story:

This is no doubt the work of some right-wing zealot who voted for Bush and is a big supporter of the GOP. Clearly, they are upset at the illegals storming our borders and meant to send a message to Mexico to keep their people home. Likewise, you can clearly attribute motive to the other bombing by recognizing that only right-wing nutjobs would bomb the British because of their less than total commitment to the Iraq War. This current bombing of the recruitment office was obviously another manifestation of the funeral protests from right-wing gay-hating losers.

basso, why do you associate with these people who hate America and think the only way to solve a problem is through violence?

(See how easy that was? If I was stupid, I might even find fun in it.)

 

I like your style.

Additionally, borrowing a page from U.S. foreign policy, I decided to send a message to a government that was becoming increasingly hostile.

Bombing the Murrah Federal Building was morally and strategically equivalent to the U.S. hitting a government building in Serbia, Iraq, or other nations.

Waxing eloquent doth not a politico make you... or something.




So, let me get this straight...

People that bomb recruiting locations really love the troops?




The sense of elitist superiority of some is more disturbing than a known GOP fan boy stating the obvious.

(I see your point, due to your verbal prowess. Now I will vote democrat.)

 

Since you haven't spent much time posting in here the last couple of years I'll just assume that you don't understand what is going on here.

Basso is fond of saying that everybody who doesn't support George Bush's eternal Iraqi war doesn't support the troops. Republicans, Democrats, whoever. If you express doubt about the quagmire in Iraq, he pulls the mocking 'support the troops' card.

So in effect, by revisiting that phrase here, he is accusing me of being one of these people. If I don't support the war, then I hate the troops and might as well be out bombing recruiting stations. I know beyond a doubt that I care more for the wellbeing of American troops than basso, or T_J or bigtexxx, who have all shown elitist contempt for the 'peons' who choose to enlist.

He has made a habit of inserting these snide little snipes when he posts these long articles. I think he believes he can slip it under the radar if he is subtle enough. I don't particularly care for people who try aren't plain in saying what they intend. I don't care for jingoistic divisive hatemongers. I can ignore one of the two, such as when T_J spouts off. But the combination of the two in one person is too much to bear. If basso wants to accuse me of being a terrorist because I don't want to get Americans killed banging our heads against a wall in Iraq, he can go **** himself.

 

It should be obvious to all that these people don't support the troops. So when you include the phrase "support the troops" you are referencing something else. There is only one thing that this can be. At least have the decency to admit what you imply when confronted with it.

 

Also basso: no doubt, some folks who support the troops are responsible.

So you believe terrorists support the troops now?
