True, like when they tried to hide 9/11, very discrete

I know you are just being sarcastic, but try to understand my argument before mocking it. I didn't say al-Qaida tries to hide their handywork, I said it's conceivable the ETA could do so for political reasons. Who better to blame than Osama? They get to slaughter people, interfere with elections, and the public is distracted by Muslims, so they can plan for their next attack. There is absolutely nothing illogical about it.

I'm just ribbing you, but I can't believe even ETA would do something like this, OKC bombing- T McVey right?? I thought it was Islamic terrorist then and I still do- Everyone tries so hard to convince us otherwise. I'm going by my gut... If Spain finds out that Al Queda and let's say some state like Syria had something to do with this- well then let the Spanish whop ass begin. That one Mid Eastern dude on Fox (the little guy with a mustache) last night he thought it was Al Queda and a state sponsor. The media would love for us to believe it was a European terrorist group to show that Irish, Spanish-Basque and Danish perverts are just as bad as Mid East terrorist, but they aren't. No Euro weanie, Basque or otherwise would take out 200 of their own. In France the trains were messed with last week, and in Bulgaria today 5 trains of propane were wired to BLEVE. Basque live in the hills of Spain, not in Bulgaria.

If we were talking about a serial killer who gets his kicks by killing, I'd say you got something there. But terrorism is supposed to have a purpose. It's supposed to accomplish something, like convincing a government to withdraw from an area, or stop supporting some group, in exchange for an end to the terror attacks. This purpose is defeated if the attacker stays completely anonymous
