If they don't know what it is, how can they say it's not dangerous?..........

[PissAndVinegar]

"We don't know what it is. It does not appear to be dangerous ..."

What an ass - how you can access something as 'not dangerous' if you don't know what it is?

[The Blitherer]

This story is the joke that just keeps giving, isn't it.

[OldFriend]

Brilliant commentary from Blooming-idiot. Told everyone to just wait till the gas passes.

[kittymyrib]

The three Middle-Eastern men, two of whom were hiding in the the cab of an 18-wheeler, questioned at the Port of Miami yesterday were probably trying to enter the port area to pick up something. Then this strange gas smell that covered the island of Manhattan today. Someone is rehearsing, and I certainly hope the feckless DHS doesn't believe its press releases that say in essence: "Move along, folks. Nothing to see here..."

BREAKING news

Mayor Bloomberg resolves gas problem with new ordinance.

[Moonman62]

How could they hear the mayor with that gas mask on his face?

[dc-zoo]

Only if it's cyanide or hydrogen sulfide.

[Jeff Head]

This would bring a whole new light to that new product...Toot Tones...hehehe.

[pankot]

No mystery. Someone had sauerkraut and beer for supper last night.

[agere_contra]

What if this gas were one half of a binary poison?

[verity]

NYC sucks...and now it also stinks.

Liberal thinking when there is a crisis: 1)" Sooth the natives, let them eat cake, act according to your image, and they will be calm."

2) Never tell the truth, find out the truth and if its politically incorrect, lie, lie , lie.

This gas is actually a dual matrix explosion preparation, first the air is saturated with a gas, then the secondary component is ignited to encompass a 20 block area of Manhatten, including Mayor Bloombergs Orifice.

Long may he stink.

Conservative thinking:

1) What is the gas: We do not know, air asamples are now being taken for spectographic analysis. The analysis will be completed by tomorrow.

2) What is the worst case scenario: Answ.: a primary matric for a dual matrix explosive device.

3) Prepare for the worst case scenario until the results indicate otherwise. Find the source.

4) Tell the public the truth,and if the liberals among them can't take it, we have the Brooklyn bridge for them to jump from.

5) Prepare evacuation plan.

[Vaquero]

Oooo that smell...can you smell that smell???

[Sword_Svalbardt]

Is it? Have we taken a gas sniffer in the area, or is it just like Hoboken?

"We are waiting for the gas to pass," the mayor said.

Sounds to me like it already has!!! LOL!!! Perhaps he meant to say "dissipate" rather than "pass".

[Salvation]

Are these dry runs for Al-Quiada like I think this was?

"....It does not appear to be dangerous ... it may just be an unpleasant smell," he said. "The one thing we are very confident of is that it's not dangerous.""

Wringing out the words, we find this: "We are very confident it does not appear to be dangerous."
