Times Square Explosion

NEW YORK (AP) — An explosive device caused minor damage to an empty military recruiting station in Times Square early Thursday, shaking guests in hotel rooms high above "the crossroads of the world."

Police blocked off the area to investigate the explosion, which occurred at about 3:45 a.m., shattering the station's glass entryway. No one was injured.

"If it is something that's directed toward American troops than it's something that's taken very seriously and is pretty unfortunate," said Army Capt. Charlie Jaquillard, who is the commander of Army recruiting in Manhattan.

He said no one was inside the station, where the Marines, Air Force and Navy also recruit.

Witnesses staying at a Marriott hotel four blocks away said they could feel the building shake with the blast.

16. This following the burning of those model homes in California which
 were being attributed to ELF makes me wonder about some psyops to paint libruls as terraists before the election. Something isn't right about this. Does anyone remember the certitude when * said he was certain that the Rs would keep the WH and take back the legislature last week? It was the same tone that he used when he said he was certain he would win in 2004 when it looked like he would be losing that one too

  damn the idjit is strong, very strong.............doesn't know that Seatlle isn't in California...........yeah I think you're just a poo flinging barking moonbat primitive

25. I think you may be right.
 They have even dragged manson out from under his rock in an attempt to scare people into thinking hippys and leftist are radical terrorists.

18. Sounds like the alphabet agencies are trying to dismiss this as not
 terrorism. If a bomb explodes, in my mind, that is terrorism, regardless of where it comes from. The Repukes can't call it terrorism, cause then McShame can't say there hasn't been a terrorist attack since 9/11.

How do we define an act of terrorism these days?

Huh

21. "If it is something that's directed toward American troops ...."
 No, Sir....
It's more likely someone disgruntled with YOU and the recruitment people. Like a Grief stricken parent at the loss of their teenaged son/daughter; like a disgruntled troop who wasn't given what he was promised; like a stop lossed soldier who has spent too many tours in Iraq; maybe it's a crazy person who doesn't want war.

Loathsome bunch...I expect many of them are just giddy with the news.

I wonder if the Dumpmonkies would be so flippant if it was an office of the ACLU or any other one of their favorite groups?

And that somehow makes it ok?

In the twisted mind of a DUmmie it is perfectly OK to destroy other peoples property and harm others, especially when it strikes a blow against the man. They are all cowards, every last one of them.

Authorities in New York City are looking for the culprit who set off the rudimentary explosive device in Times Square early Thursday, with one witness describing a hooded man on a bicycle wearing a backpack and acting suspiciously just before the blast at the recruiting station.
New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said an ammunition box was found at the scene.

"This was not a particularly sophisticated device," he said during the Thursday press conference

Anyone seen DistressedAmerican lately?

He's the type that would do this crap.

Despite what the Dummies think it's more then likely one of thier kind that pulled this stunt. Sorry but they do have a much longer history of it then anyone in the military or their families. Bunch of bottom feeding idiots.

29. **** that.
   
I'm sorry, but if you're throwing an explosive at ANYONE without some pretty severe physical provocation (and even then), regardless of what their or your political ideology is, you deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

And you think that makes it okay to destroy property and endanger life?

If they did call it terrorism, you'd probably be one of the first ones out of the gate screaming, "fearmongering".

Oh yeah, PSYOPS PSYOPS PSYOPS. Glad you like playing with your cute little liberal buzzword. No one out there wants to harm us, it's just our own government playing mindgames.

Keep sleepwalking through life, asshole. While you're sitting in your basement eating Cheetos and dreaming up your next slogan, the adults are in charge, at least for the time being.

It was the same Blackwater operatives that beat-up Randi Rhodes.

20 page manifesto ranting against the Iraq war, geeeee I bet it was a republican conservative.

[dutch508]

hum....democratic members of the house got letters prior to the bombing and did.....







nothing.


Wonder how that is going to play out during the election?

I think someone at DU will confess about it.

[dutch508]

You're all a bunch of whiners! No wonder this country is a joke in the eyes if the world. Sniveling cowards! It was an IED. Do you know who is trained to build/detonate just such a device? The military! Probably some disgruntled military type feeling the pain of wasting 6+ years of their life fighting/supporting an unjust conflict led by liars, war criminals and supported by the sheep living in this country. Any of you commentators ever been to the Mudddle East? Didn't think so. Just continue supporting our boys by bashing each other, pointing fingers and commenting from the comfort of your own homes. Shame what this nation has become! Semper Fi

watch out .. TNO will be in here talking about 'intentions' and how 'nobody was hurt so no foul' ...

If you believe a 14-year old girl has a right to unchallenged and unfettered access to an abortion clinic but men and women 18 and older walking into a recruiting station are victims of a mind-stealing war machine then you might be a liberal.
