It's never terrorism. Even when it's terrorism.

That's right. It is always "just another isolated incident"

Is it terror or a prank.

Yeah, shooting missiles at large passenger aircraft is FUNNY!

Well, Rick Perry spent a lot of money on webcams to secure the border, so if something was brought in and shot at an airliner, we know it couldn’t have been brought over the border...

“Everyone knows there have never been middle-easterners walking into America through that porous southern border planning attacks against us. /sarc”

M.E. terrorists worth their salt do not have to cross our southern border to get in — they immigrate, attend US colleges or are simply born here.

It couldn’t be a missle with TWA 800 inspite of the Eyewitnesses and evidence, so surely this must have been swamp gas that the Pilots observed.

It may have been a TWA style exploding fuel tank. Oh, but it didn't really explode. Quick, let's think up something else.

"Is it terror or a prank."

Neither--just someone trying to "light the barbie" for Memorial Day who used a bit too much lighter fluid.

Probably a piece off a French Concorde engine inlet that it picked up because Hobby fire crews didn’t inspect the runway prior to takeoff.

LOL! That explains the “flaming projectile” in the headline.

Could have been launched from the Che Guevera wing of the Obama campaign headquarters.
