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

Thanks Code Pink...IVAW...DU and Kos...you've bombarded certain weak minded individuals with your anti-War...soldiers are evil bullsh*t that someone decided it was open season on a recruiting station.

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.

But don't you DARE question their patriotism or support "for the troops".

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.

Well said.

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.

What a bunch of scumbags to target a recruiting office.

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?
