NEW YORK — Federal investigators are examining what appears to be an inoperative military rocket launcher tube found Friday morning on the front lawn of a Jersey City home that sits directly in the flight path of busy Newark Liberty International Airport.

Jersey City Police removed the tube, and the incident is now being investigated by the Joint Terrorism Task Force and the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

The New York office of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms told FOX News that it appeared to be a military firing tube, and that there was no evidence of any explosive device discovered at the scene.

The Associated Press reported that the tube was an inoperable military training device, and that it was given to Army officials at Fort Monmouth.

Isn’t a spent “rocket launcher tube” about as much of a threat as an empty toilet paper roll?

Maybe this is a way to keep the FBI’s interest diverted and busy elsewhere.

If that’s the case, what a bunch of morons.

I mean, even the FBI can quit investigating duds if the agents need to be doing something else.

Unlike al-Quaeda, whose purposes are tunnel-vision-oriented: Blow up infidels, pick up your “Pass Jail and Go Straight to Paradise” card.

Just wait until they get to their so-called paradise only to learn that it was Satan all along, and he’ll just stand there saying, “Just kidding, you idiot. Now keep shoveling.”

“...Republican is president, they can complain about why Bush didn’t discover this”

Bush wasn’t on patrol in New Jersey that night.

I want to know if the woman that called in the report will now be sued by CAIR and the dhimmicrats?

I think that must be one of those mufflers Tom D’Asshole promised us ... I never got mine.

Not if you're at a roadside rest area.

Pretty much, but it sure causes a lot more commotion when left laying around near an airport. I’ll bet it is some jokester trying to cause a panic...not funny.

“What kind of trailer trash moron leaves a rocket launcher sitting out on their front lawn?”

Probably with the same mentality of the reporters who wonder why their beer dosen’t get cold in the cardboard box they found by the dumpster that says GE Refrigerator on it.
