“Wasn’t the word in the past couple of weeks that we’d see an attack here within the next six months?

This may not prove to be one, but the administration was saying that just recently.”

VP Biden says he’s worried about another terrorist attack, says more likely from lone plotter

Fox still on the incapacitated pilot party line, plane was seen flying erratically, dodged wires before hitting building.

Incapacitated, yet dodging obstacles. Check.

One would assume they have video of the plane crash via the traffic cam?

well, the pilot was at least trained to dodge wires and was in control of the aircraft to do so- so as to make it to the target

sorry, dodging wires makes it sound even less erratic and more deliberate

Is president BO’s national security team working on his statement to be released in about 2-3 days?

Not if it’s loaded with diesel fuel and fertilizer.

It’s Texas, but the liberal part.

The building is about 6 stories. That’s about as high as they go if you aren’t downtown—which is where I thought the crash took place till I stared seeing pictures and location info.

“Weather was beautiful this morning. No clouds to deal with...”

Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?

Did CNN say it was the Echelon building?

I'm not watching - just following along here in my cubicle. I just googled Echelon Building and yes, that was the building that was hit. Some of the comments from people who saw it are interesting. They are saying the plane deliberately flew into building at full speed.

“isolated acts”

Only if it’s a muslim or a leftist. Otherwise it’s “unleash the dogs of all war, this is an attack on us all, this day shall live in infamy”

It's sad, but you're a hundred percent right on this... if a conservative is fingered - we'll all be condemned. If it's a Muslim, the right will be condemned because they might notice... They hate us that much.

The ‘high rise’ comment was my bad. When it first came on Fox, the camera angle made it look like a high rise. I hit post before I realized my mistake.

Have they declared it’s not terrorism yet?

After the Cheney/Biden back-and-forth on Sunday, there's no way in hell the administration will ever let anyone even consider the possibility of terrorism. If another plane hits another building in the next ten minutes, they'll still find a way to deny it.

A terrorist attack right now would be a death blow to Obama and the Democrats.

it looks like the pilot may have had some kind of accelerant on the plane.

You mean, airplane fuel? :-?

Actually this part of Austin is quite conservative...

"Incapacitated, yet dodging obstacles. Check."

The unfailing illogical opining of the network news-babe. You can set your watch to it.
