I think Al Queda would make a more sophesticated bomb with all of their expertise in doing it around the world than what this appears to be.

Of course it could be some independent Al Queda symphathyzer who learned how to make the bomb from the internet rather than any real training.

We will know soon.

notofworks, just curious why you "loved it" when witnesses saw a 40ish white guy leaving the SUV? Whether this instance proves to be Islamic terrorism or not I have no doubt that Al Queda is recruiting and training white people and that will be the next wave of foot soldiers. The last muslim that tried to blow up that airplane said as much.

maybe the bombers could have made a more sophisticated one but materials were hard to come by. Anyway I've seen incidents in the news and Al Queda deny they were involved, why would the Taliban claim responsibility if they did not really do it?

Now they are saying it wasn't even the right kind of fertilizer...

Either they were super dummies or they didn't care as long as it sparked fear

Fertilizer?

As to the location... it turns out that Viacom's headquarters are in the same building as the Minskoff Theater on Broadway where the Lion King production has been showing.

Viacom is the media conglomerate that owns CBS, MTV and... Comedy Central which allegedly aired (sort of - but really not at all) several depictions of "the Prophet Muhammad" on its South Park "cartoon" series last week.

To be accurate - and I did tape the two-part episode and watch it just because of this controversy prior to any bombs or threats - "the Prophet Muhammad" was NOT depicted nor was "he" even in the "bear mascot" suit nor the U-Haul Rental Truck.

In the cliff hanger... the "boys" had tricked the "Hollywood actors," led by "Tom Cruise," into thinking that "Muhammad" was in the costume when in reality it was just "Santa Claus" and "Muhammad" was safe all along from those Hollywood weirdos.

Now, that probably doesn't make any sense... but the fact of the matter is: The Prophet Muhammad was definitely NOT depicted in any way on the recent South Park episodes. There was a "CENSORED" box shown at a couple of points - but later events revealed that this was probably "Santa Claus" as that's who turns up in the bear suit.

"Muhammad" was however depicted in a benign fashion many years ago in an episode where "he" teams up with "Jesus" and the "leaders" of other world faiths and philosophical systems to combat an "evil cult" led by British "magician" "David Blaine." Since this was well before 9/11/2001, no one paid it any mind and no one cared - including the Taliban that was then fighting to control Afghanistan.

I can't see how any off that makes any sense either.

I think great points have been made in this thread... I'm for what will keep America safe, I don't care about profiling, it's necessary.

But I want to interject something into the conversation here. I want to give God thanks and glory for protecting the United States. It may have been the hand of God that protected us from another terrible attack. Give God praise and worship our King and protector.

(laughing) Now Prax you brought up turbines etc etc......note that it would be good to learn to discern the difference between serious comment and simple, good old fashioned tail twisting.

Face it and thankfully this gomer is obviously not the brightest light on the street. Hopefully they catch him soon and he can follow his buddy mcveigh to the "happy hunting grounds" of right-wing zealism.

You brought up the issue of the perp being a white male and I said I was fine with profiling white males or anyone that fits the perps description. What I offered was that if it turns out the suspect was an Islamic extremist we would not be able to profile them...because they would be so offended, the left would be screaming..and you kind of proved my point by your responses.

Of course I brought up turbines. I brought up the topic of profiling.

Since this act was so obviously targeted at Viacom, Comedy Central and the South Park "cartoon's" so-called "Muhammad" controversy, why do you associate the suspected "bomber" with "mcveigh?"

McVeigh was a killing machine who knew how, and was willing to take the time to prepare his "ingredients." This "gomer's" attempt just fizzed and smoked like the following attempts...

It seems like the the Scotland bombs and the recent one in New York all came from the same lab as the "underwear bomb;" though the "underwear bomber" was able to get his hands on some PETN, he too had a real problem understanding detonators. Thankfully.

You know, I'm a pretty free and easy going kind of guy... but can we tighten it up a bit? Wii has fallen into this misuse of the Queen's language and it's probably our fault.

"Turbans" are worn by various cultures indigenous to South Asia.

"Turbines" are used to spin a cam.

Just sayin'

If we're taking bets, I think the guy in the video taking off his shirt looks like a liberal, tree-hugging, commie loving, Obama backing idiot! He probably figured he could take out Fox News and bring the nation together under Obama at the same time.

Hey...my theory is as good as anyone else's for right now!
