Now why would our F.B.I. cover up the terrorist attack at LAX on July 4th, 2002?

Now why would our F.B.I. cover up the terrorist attack at LAX?

I mean they tell us we will be attacked and then we are attacked and then they say this was not a terrorist attack. Now why would our F.B.I. cover up the terrorist attack at LAX?

The PEOPLE WHO WERE ATTACKED knows what it was and IT WAS a TERRORIST ATTACK.

We are either being played for fools or the terrorist just maybe are within the FBI. We know the democrats are terrorist helpers so maybe just maybe the FBI HAS BEEN SUBVERTED TOO!

Just a question for comments.

Now if you had that happening in ten or twenty different airports simulataneously, then you might be right.

I think a reasonable person would be able to see a pattern develop without having the bar set quite that high.

"So I guess all those misguided nutcases making suicide-homicide bombing attacks in Israel are just a string of coincidences?"

That is certainly what we're learning from the nutjob authorities and the brainless fools who "report" the news.

The only exception to their "isolated incident" mantra is when two homicide bombers work together so the second bomber can try to kill the rescue workers. The FBI, however, would call this type of attack a coincidence.

No an action motivated by the terrorism is still a terrorist action.

So I see you must favor hate crime legislation then?

[EggsAckley]

Your question is a good one. What IS terrorism? Does it have to be a well-conceived, complicated plan such as the 9/11 attack, to be called "terrorism?" In my opinion, the term can apply to something as mundane as a group of surly teenagers blocking your way on a sidewalk. Terrorism is anything that causes a rational person to believe that they are not as safe as they are accustomed to being. Of course OKCity was terrorism. Once people have been relieved of their misguided "it can't happen here" beliefs, it then becomes terrorism.

JMHO

Well, looks like ya made your point!

Sorry to see you go.

Concerned about the definition's of words, eh? Well the government does not agree with you. See JabbaTheHutt's reply 41.

The LAX shooter was a terrorist. Did he have any connections with "official" terrorist organisations? That is likely, given his background. Did he carry out this act of terrorism under the direct order of some official terrorist organization? We may never know. Was he prepared or supplied for this terrorist act by an official terrorist or terrorist organization? That is possible -- not that easy to come by hanguns in California, as I understand.

[Dave S]

Also, whatever happened to the reports of one or two others being arrested in conjunction with the attack? What about the reports of bomb-sniffing dogs hitting on his car and apartment? What about the FBI watch list? What about the reasons for the INS denying his request for permanent residency? On and on go the questions, but the "authorities" have no answers

Likely crap created by DEBKA or conspiracy spinners that never had any factual basis.

Since when did terrorism take on a new meaning?

ter·ror·ism   Pronunciation Key  (tr-rzm)
n.

The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.

[JavaTheHutt]

I don't think it matters so much whether the FBI calls him a terrorist.

I agree and disagree with you about that.

A spade is a spade is a spade. I can start making up my own names for various things if I choose to. Just because I decide to call the apple tree in the front yard a sailboat, doesn't mean it's not a freakin' apple tree. So yes, you are correct, the FBI can call him whatever they want, use the term "freedom fighter" if they choose, because he's still a terrorist. Regardless of whatever motivation he had, it's the act itself that is terrorist.

The man that goes to the store to steal food for his family could be called a creative shopper if you choose to, but it doesn't change the fact that he's a thief.

I also disagree, because if you don't stand up and shout down all of this PC B.S., it will only get worse.

When Americans are being labeled as terrorists by their own government, and the real terrorists get pc handles like "freedom fighter", and are discribed as someone who just couldn't handle the sight of the flag anymore and snapped, we are treading in very dangerous waters.

We are in dire need of a major overhaul in our government.

Any reports or anything specific you've heard about. Seems to be a total dearth of followup stories.

I was expecting limo companies to be interviewed on TV.

Airports at other cities stories but nothing.

Families sent home is a big thing,IMO, (In the middle of the Egyptian summer, BTW). Most people would prefer the cooler climes of December despite the school vacations in the US.

Having observed your performances these many months it is my sad duty to advise you that you haven't a clue.

Had he carried a bomb, oakie doakie...but he brought two guns and a knife...and when he got into trouble he fought with the knife...theguy wasn't a terrorist...he was nuts.

They wanted to get home and watch Sheryl Crow on ABC?

Okay I wont raise the bar that high. Where was THE OTHER airport attack in the US on the 4th, or did the FBI cover that one up better than LAX?

[MadelineZapeezda]

Because our gubmint doesn't want the people to know we are vulnerable to attack and they can't protect us. We might have to defend ourselves and our gubmint doesn't want us doing that. All the billions in the world that we are spending on defense seems like a waste......our enemies walk among us.

So, according to what you just said here, if a Palestinian shoots up Israelis on the street, I guess to you that isn't terrorism. Or, if one attacks and kills Israelis on the street with a machete, that isn't terrorism either (both have happened, BTW). And since the 9/11 attackers only used box cutters to hijack those planes, they must not have been terrorists, either.

I guess you should call up Websters and have them alter their definition of terrorism to only include attacks with explosives.

[TLBSHOW]

at this point, as I told dirtboy, yours is as good of one as any

[dirtboy]

Where was THE OTHER airport attack in the US on the 4th, or did the FBI cover that one up better than LAX?

Al Queda only attacked ONE destroyer of ours. What on earth does the number of attacks have to do with whether an action is terrorism or not? Calling the guy a lone nut doesn't change the nature of what he did.

Someone, actually more than one person, has pointed out that if the two jetliners had struck the WTC twin towers at the same time, instead of about 15 to 20 minutes apart, that we'd all now still be talking about the horrible plane accident that caused the towers to fall; Michael Rivero would still be on FR; and the debate here would be about whether or not there was an explosion in one of the plane's center fuel tanks that caused it to crash into the other plane and then both into the towers, with Rivero averring that, no, it was really a conspiracy, and the goobermint shills here mocking him. You know the drill.

Every conceivable terrorist incident since 9-11 has been passed off as "unrelated to 9-11," and "not a terrorist incident."

Ding Ding DING!!!

You win with the first correct answer!

[TLBSHOW]

No one asked you to attack me. You want to comment comment on the subject stop acting like a liberal.

As for your comment on a terrorist. You are wrong. Don't let that stand in your way of attacking TLBSHOW.
