Hmmm, doesn't LA have a large Iranian population? Are you sure it was unintentional?

Perhaps HAARP is automated with an NSA eavesdropping system and the wrong words in Farsi were uttered?

Perhaps this is just a small IDF downpayment.

"Well, it doesn't look like anything Israel would do. Why would they blow up a subway station?"

To let Iran know that they are not safe either.

"Quick...quick...can anyone place strategic importance on that location? Serious question."

Yeah. A Tehran subway filled with people? Strategically it will make them think about going back there. Put some fear and doubt into their heads.

I heard he was up at ANWR poisoning caribou.

Because we're finally learning from the Islamics?

I love the guys standing in the hole at the bottom of the frame saying the Farsi equivalent of, "looks like a hole to me", "yep, sure looks like a hole alright".

Nope - they were standing there and the rest of the earth suddenly blowed up around them.

Here's your sign.

That does not look like an explosion caused that hole, more like bad construction.

Plus you would know it if they blew it up. This does not look like an attack.
