DEVELOPING STORY —  An explosive device damaged a military recruiting station at approximately 3:45 a.m. in Times Square early Thursday, and police blocked off the area to investigate.

The explosive device caused minor damage, and no one was injured, police said. The explosion shattered a glass entryway.

A witness decribed the explosion as, "loud enough that people at the Marriott Marquis Hotel heard it and saw a puff of smoke."

F & F is saying that a guy rode up on a bicycle and tossed the bomb.  It shattered glass, it appears.

On edit, it appears that bijou beat me to it.  Mods, delete, please . . .

That was my thought, it comes close on the heels of the Code Pink protest at Berkeley.  Hope this doesn't spread.

I hope it doesn't either...but it certainly put the idea in people's heads.

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

Sounds mighty liberal, green = liberal = anti-war = troops are evil.

Sounds like we need to arm our recruiters.  All it would take is one dead piece of shit liberal terrorist, and the rest would think twice.  Difference between Islamic terrorists and liberal terrorists = Islamic terrorists love their cause more than themselves, liberals love nothing more than themselves.

I just can't imagine sitting in a recruiting station and being attacked.  Then again, when I served, the moonbats weren't a problem (except that lord moonbat Clinton had us so underfunded that we couldn't gat parts).  But when the Cole was attacked, it really hit home for me.  I can remember all of us joking and hollering, "Here come the terrorists!!!!!!" when the small boats came out to collect the mooring lines.  Then, less than a year after I got out.  It was true.  It just hits harder when you've been there.  And all servicemen have been in the recruiting station.

I've been listening to the news on and off today and haven't heard anyone mention any of the other explosions in NYC at the British and Mexican Consulates.  It's been a couple of years, but it was the first thing that crossed my mind when I heard the news.

Considering how similar the methods are and timing, which happens in the middle of the night, I think thye could be connected.

I spent the morning cleaning my garage.. listening to the news out there someone on FOX said that the explosives may have been foreign and that the bomb tosser was not American. interesting how McCain called it a terroristic act right away, but Hilary and the other people's offices who were targeted with letters, has been silent.

Is this her 'experience' with a crisis that we are seeing? She says nothing?

I wonder if the Berkeley Marine Recruiting Office has stepped up security because of this?
