Terrorism is politically motivated. It seeks to use violence, or the threat of violence, to achieve political ends. Like extortion, it is pointless unless the victim knows and understands what the extortionist/terrorist wants to coerce the victim to do, and unless the victim recognizes that he is being extorted.

The fires don't fit that profile, unless a terrorist organization plausibly takes credit for them. The idea makes as much sense as an extortionist who causes all sorts of bad things to happen to someone, but never lets the victim know that the events aren't just bad luck or 'acts of God.'

Meanwhile, FEMA is training Community Emergency Response Teams in the techniques of firefighting: training.fema.gov/EMIWeb/cert/

If these fires are in fact terrorism, then the "victim" knows and understands, because the government is actively training civilians in firefighting through the CERT program. The authorities recognize fire as a terrorist threat, that's all I am saying.

That's ok. Farah along with his anti-muslim-agenda buddies will do it for them. It should make them real proud.

...What if the idea here is not to take credit for the fires, just sit back and watch a BUSH-Supporting ARNOLD be forced to go back on his promise not to raise taxes because of the cost of these sudden massive fires in 2003..?

Enter President HILLARY in 2004.

HILLARY aided Terrorists during the Vietnam War.

HILLARY is aiding Terrorists now.

Sometimes HILLARY's Terrorist Friends keep silent ..for effect.
