The attack on a Times Square Military recruiting station in NYC still has intelligence agencies and homeland security officials baffled. The NYC police department and commission Ray Kelley have been baffled for awhile so I don't think it appropriate to blame the attack for that.

Seriously though the latest Washington speak is that it wasn't an Islamic-fascist attack at all...how did the genius that keep us safe come to this conclusion partly because no one has claimed responsibility.

Hello, maybe just maybe no one wants to claim responsibility...I mean why should Islamic-fascists bent on the destruction of our way of life be given so much credit for perfection? Maybe it was just a terrorist who isn't very proficient, you know an unproven terrorist or to steal a theme from Hillary Clinton an inexperience terrorist who hasn't been vetted. You know a young terrorist long on fundamentalist ideas religious fervor and hate and short on actual proven ability.

Law enforcement has even suggested that it was too simple and unsophisticated a device to fit the terrorist model. Hello, how about a little respect for the blue collar terrorist on a budget. You know some terrorist--long on anger short on cash.

I mean if America the richest country in the world is in a recession it stands to reason given our global economy and international markets that the terrorist might be feeling the pinch as well. These people live in mountains in huts in the hinterlands some pretty poor countries. Maybe this was just terrorism on the cheap.

And what is this bullshit about not claiming responsibility? Maury Povich spends an hour everyday making millions on the unclaimed responsibilities of young black and Latino males. Would Washington have us believe these fatherless babies aren't genuine children simply because they haven't been claimed?

I guess government agencies wiretapping and stuff are not helping keep us safe. I guess all our postal regulations have stopped those mail and package bombs that used to be in the news all the time.

I did not read about this; assumed it was our government leading up to support to invade Iran. Now that I read this, I say: anti-war protester. I would say pro-peace except targeting military recruiting stations like in Berkley makes 'war'. Their targets should be people that profit from war, like Bill Clinton, Neil Bush, Marvin Bush, George H W Bush, George Bush, Dick Cheney, Halliburton and it's subsidaries~guess the chain goes back to Prescott Bush and Hitler times. Or it could be just a teen prankster trying to have some fun, his way. Then again maybe Hillary Clinton paid someone to do it coming so soon after after 3AM phone ad.
