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

Simple, routine matter of trying to keep investigative information confidential in hopes of nabbing any accomplices.
However, it does seem rather absurd for them to deny what is, on the surface, evident to everybody else in the world.
Nevertheless, I have no problems cutting them some slack while they are obviously still accumulating, analyzing and evaluating evidence.

Keep hearing from press that the FBI has not knowledge of Hadayek being a lawbreaker. Yet we know that admit that he violated our laws when he overstayed his visa in the mid-90s. Another question. Why did the INS try to deport him. Since the normally ignore those who overstay visas. Something triggered there action to order a deportation hearing.

TBL, you're starting to sound like Dr Seuss.

Would you attacks
At LAX?

FBI covered attacks
at the airport known as L A X

Would you attacks
with broken glass?

FBI would hide attacks
with broken glass at LAX.

"Did anyone else notice that strange quote by the first witness (the trauma
surgeon in line at Singapore Airlines), who said that the shooter began
shooting from 15 feet away? He said "I held his legs. I felt the strength
go out of him. I guess he was dying."
This from a TRAUMA SURGEON? I think he was an El Al plant."

Why would you think that?

[Quicksilver]

Perhaps I missed it, but I did not hear the FBI (or anyone else) say that this was not a terrorist attack. I did hear them say that they had not ruled it out. So far, this doesn't seem to fit the MO of a terrorist operation. Granted, an Egyptian national did kill two Israelis (and would likely have killed many more if he had not been stopped). Is it an act of terrorism because of the ethnicity of those involved? Was he recruited, trained, and ordered to carry out this attack, or was he a lone wolf with sympathies for the terrorists? Was he seeking martyrdom? Or, maybe he awoke on his birthday and decided he didn't like where his life was going, and snapped.

"I am outraged that schools are busting kids!
This has got to stop! This is an outrage!
(What's that? The report is on bussing kids?)
... Nevermind."

Trying to explain anything to you would be a chore best left to a chaplain.

Trying to explain anything to you would be a chore best left to a chaplain.

Since you continue to resort to insults, I can only surmise that you have no intention of defending your prior statements. If you wish to explain to the rest of us here how using a bomb would have made this a terrorist act, but using two guns and a knife proves that is not a terrorist act, please continue this discussion. If you wish to cease claiming that you were joking and then turn around and claim you are serious, please continue this discussion. If you wish to cease playing Clintonian word games, please continue this discussion. Otherwise, please quit wasting both my time and JimRob's bandwidth.

The Black Knight still thought he was winning. Everyone else was laughing at him. And he was the one spitting insults...

[TLBSHOW]

Nope! no other screen name. Just TLBSHOW and in fact dirtboy was who I recieved my first freepmail from here at FR. No I won't go into what it said. LOL

Needless to say. Why do you ask? How about you, any names you want to tell us about?

ps

Try Radio-FR for archieved TLBSHOW'S.

I was going to spend 10 minutes explaining why you are completely wrong, but why waste good logic.

Re: Post 41 –
I myself believe that any act that is intended to cause terror is a terrorist act.
Bureaucrats, however think differently.

[dirtboy]

Nevertheless, I have no problems cutting them some slack while they are obviously still accumulating, analyzing and evaluating evidence.

Willy, normally I would agree with you here, but when I see the FBI spouting this kind of nonsense:

As of Saturday U.S. investigators were not ruling out terrorism, but were also considering the possibility Hadayet merely wanted to shoot Jewish people in a racist "hate crime," or was despondent over possible domestic problems at home, said FBI officials.

I gotta think some serious verbal contorsionism is going on to avoid the T-word...

[valkyrieanne]

The optimistic answer: it's disinformation spread by the FBI to smoke out any more Egyptian terrorists.

The pessimistic answer: because political correctness is mroe important than safeguarding American lives, and the lives of those foreign nationals who are our guests (i.e. the El Al customers & employees.)

[harrowup]

Why should I defend what you fail to grasp? If you can't figure it out then ask the chaplain.

You and showoff need rest.

I have no way of knowing if he was a member of any organization or not. I do know that I can believe little of what is reported by our news media or our bureaucrats.
I also don’t jump to conclusions. Right now it appears to be the act of one nutcase acting on his own - but influenced by radicals.
Are we to consider every act of violence committed by an Arab a terrorist act? Was the American who shot up a daycare center in California some time ago a terrorist, or a lone nutcase? He did target a Jewish center.

If the logic is good, it's not wasted. :)

There seems to be quite a lot of talk of small planes being stolen and used as missiles. Seems there was a small plane that crashed in Calif. around the same time as the LAX incident. It crashed into a picnic area. Haven't heard anything since.

[dirtboy]

Why should I defend what you fail to grasp? If you can't figure it out then ask the chaplain.

Once again, please tell us how a bomb would have made this terrorism but guns and a knife ensured that it wasn't. Put that in the context of attacks on Israelis by Palestinians wielding knives or machetes.

Once again, I didn't make this up. YOU SAID IT. Quit dodging with insults.

Can't have the horrific precedent set (horrific, at least, to the feds) that armed individuals are a highly effective deterrent to terror

Exactly. I had this argument with some liberals right after Sept 11; they asked, "What good are your little pop-guns against a jetliner?" I told them the first and best line of homeland defense was now and always had been: A well-armed citizenry coupled with a reasonably observant populace. Terrorism is planned and carried out be people. They cannot operate in a vacuum. And since I am not ashamed to say that I PROFILE, homeland defense starts right in my own neighborhood.
