The headline reflects one of the many possible scenarios considered by the radical Islamists who want us all dead. They don't care if they kill Republicans or Democrats, hawks or war protestors, Rush Limbaugh or their pal Michael Moore.
Do they have a scenario for an attack on the DemocRATic National Convention at the Fleet Center in Boston scheduled for July 26-29? Consider the following:
ITEM: On or about April 8, 2004, a 9200-gallon fuel transport truck was stolen from TK Transport Terminal in Pennsauken, NJ. It has not been recovered.
ITEM: On April 21, 2004, two pieces of highly radioactive fuel rods were stolen from the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant. They have not been recovered.
ITEM: Hussain Al-Hussaini, implicated in the Oklahoma City bombing by Jayna Davis in her blockbuster, THE THIRD TERRORIST, has a last known location in, you guessed it, Boston, MA. Al-Hussaini has had several jobs at gas stations. He only works the graveyard shift, a shift at which a tanker truck might be filled over time without too much notice.
ITEM: Those in charge of security at the DNC convention are so worried about the close proximity of I-93 to the Fleet Center, that the freeway will be closed in both directions the four nights of the convention.
What are the plans to stop a fully loaded tanker truck? How close might it be able to get to the Fleet Center?
I am sure that DNC security officials, the FBI, local and state agencies, and the Secret Service have considered hundreds of scenarios. This is probably one of them.
Speaking of "outside" influences..Yankees play the Red Sox a series just before the DNC starts..if the Yankees sweep..Beantown will NOT be a happy place..
See, you're assuming Hillary! would be the target, rather than the result, of the hypothetical explosion.
Bawney Fwank might know something about dirty bombs in Boston, and he is said to be fond of Fleet's colonic lavage..
Regarding any sports, Beantown is unhappy. But we're used to losing and don't take it quite so hard anymore. Nobody has the money the Yankees have and we are resigned to their taking the title.
Hey..I was born in the Bronx..a mile from Yankkee Stadium..and I'm a Red Sox fan...yes I have a masochistic streak..
That sounds twisted. How did you become a Sox fan? Are you still in the city?
I was a Giants fan...they moved out when I was a kid..so, out of spite..I'm in Westchester..actually Chappaqua..right next door to you know who..they're my neighbors...
Excuse me, baseball fans. How did a thread about a scenario for a terrorist attack turn into a baseball discussion? :)
(Besides, I love ya too much to tell you what to do with the bat....LOL..)
I thought the dirty bumbs were going there in August as promised?
Oh, sorry, read it wrong. I guess it said "Bombs"?
You can stay here. Let's talk about a radioactive baseball brought onto the field by a groundskeeper illegal alien from Somalia. Or, radioactive beer and all the fans glowing by the 7th inning stretch.
Hmmmmmm. What would happen if A-Rod's bat was corked with some C4 and he made contact with a 100mph fastball? If he blew up, would he be charged with an official at bat?
Or in the middle of the game, the sprinkler system comes on an sprays an aerosl WMD all over the stadium..( that's good..Hey..that has possibilities for a book)
Not bad, Ken.
You know, I never thought about it much, but my cousin (whom I thought might have had an original idea for once) was the one with the bright idea. I guess he stole it.
He (Steve) was older than I and had a Renault Dauplin. We'd ride it in the cow pasture and he'd roll the thing over on its side - we'd get out and roll it back over before the oil poured out and go again. What NUTS!!
He also showed me how to use 1 1/4" pump pipe, an M-80, and a D cell battery to make a cannon. The thing would hurl the battery abt 300yds at abt 30 degrees pitch. We learned to shoot the thing at abt 60 degrees and try to let it fall into the pond.
We were discussing the potential mood of Boston depending on whether the Sox win or not.
Now I get it. Bostonians could get very ugly, huh?
