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.

[JavaTheHutt]

This guy was not a part of a terrorist organization; therefore it was not an act of terrorism.

Sorry, that answer is incorrect. Shortly after 9-11, a teen girl in New Joisey (???) was charged with making terrorist threats for sending hate emails and death threats to other kids at school she didn't like. If memory serves correctly, she was not affiliated with any terrorist organizations, yet they had no problem with charging a 13 year old girl as a terrorist.

Lets compare the two:

Teen girl, American citizen, no known affiliation with any terrorist organizations, sends anonymous hate email to her perceived "enemies" at school --->

TERRORIST

Middle Eastern man, not American citizen (???), possible affiliations with known terrorist groups, targets a specific ethnic group long known for being victims of terrorist activity by terrorists groups he is known and/or suspected to be affiliated with, opens fire, killing two, wounding several others of his perceived "enemies" --->

NOT A TERRORIST

Hmm, as they use to sing on Sesame Street, "One of these things, is not like the other, one of these things, is not quite the same."

[TomGuy]

I read one "official" comment yesterday that went something like this: "This isn't a terrorist incident because he acted alone."

Of course, by that logic, shoebomber Reid "acted alone" too, so he isn't a terrorist. So what if he was funded and trained and supported by terrorist groups. He acted alone; thus, he shouldn't be considered a terrorist.

"Officials" either don't have a clue or they are trying to keep the public isolated from the real dangers that exist--because of the infiltration of ME/Islamic/al-Qaeda/Jihad persons. We have nests of these cockroaches in many of our major cities, but little overt action to clean out the infestations seems to be happening.

[cksharks]

Yep what you said!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[#3Fan]

The guy was a nut case. What difference does it make if he was a disgruntled employee, a Jew-hater, or a wannabe terrorists. This was not some well organized event. I fail to see any conspiracy by the FBI to cover this up. There really is no point.

You're right yet again. These "conspiracy behind every tree" believers make it hard to get to the root of the real conspiracies because of too much static noise. Conspiracies exist, but not everywhere.

[Stentor]

Why do all the conspiracy nuts on FR continually jump to the wrong conclusion and then aid the enemy by spreading fear and confusion?

Agreed. It is not the job of the FBI to declare that someone is a terrorist on the public airways. It is their job to present the results of their investgations to the relevant authorities in the Justice Department. I don't want these guys defining anything.

[TLBSHOW]

not a conspiracy but the fbi is clueless about how to fight these people. They are trying too hard to be pc and not to profile is stupid.

[Redhd2]

"...knee-jerk bozos who never hesitate to find the most dumbass point of view and broadcast it loudly.

LOL ... Thanks for sharing...broadcast moderately of course.

[freeperfromnj]

they are trying to keep the public isolated from the real dangers that exist--

That's probably true but they have to know that Israeli intelligence will fully investigate this attack and find out the full story on Hadayet. No doubt we will hear it from Israeli goverment before we hear it from the FBI

[Mixer]

I mean they tell us we will be attacked and then we are attacked and then they say this was not a terrorist attack.

I have been trying to figure this out right along. Even 9/11 would have not been explained as terrorism if there had only been one plane involved. No group to this day has come forward to claim responsibility for 9/11 so if it had only been one plane an accident would have been ruled and we would have went on as usual. Now we have high alerts but then when something happens the FBI is right there to deny terrorism before all of the facts have even been revealed.

Flight 587 and flight 800 along with a lot of other unexplained "accidents" are no doubt in my mind the acts of Muslim terroists.

[TLBSHOW]

You are wrong. The guy was a terrorist and you are in la la la land my friend.

The government has no problem calling McVeigh a terrorist

Interesting point. The government (esp. at the time) likes for us to believe he was right wing nutcase acting alone, and he is a terrorist - but this radical Islamic nutcase walks into an airport armed to the teeth bent on killing as many Jews as possible (fortunatley he's taken down before many more people were killed) and this is an isolated incident. Let's review the Websters definition of terror:

4 : violence committed by groups in order to intimidate a population or government into granting their demands

Is radical Islam not a group?

What a sad state of affairs...

[Paulus Invictus]

Why was it not a terrorist attack? The Israelis say it was, it sounds like one, it involved a Muslim with weapons, only Jews were killed at the El Al airline desk, hence it was a terrorist attack. The FBI is out to lunch on this one. It also may just the start of similar attacks at airports or anywhere else the Muslim plants in the US wish to attack people. We are at war. Add the LA victims names to the already long list of casualties. Deport all Muslims!

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.

We are either being played for fools or the terrorist just maybe are within the FBI.

Apparently you are not being played for a fool, you must be one. The FBI isnt covering anything up. Havent you seen wall to wall coverage on TV and in the papers about the attack at LAX? I would say they must be doing a poor job of covering it up.

There seems to be a lack of preciseness in language around here lately. When the government is talking about terrorism and terroists they are not talking about long wingnuts who might be copy cats but the real thing that is part of an organized effort to cause harm to our country. The lone screwballs that go postal are always going to be with us and there is nothing that the government can do to prevent them from doing harm if they are willing to die in the process.

The FBI is still investigating this case and they say it may turn out to be terrorism. Based upon whats made it into the Press, there are no known links to any terrorist group, the guy was NOT on a watch list, there are a lot of contradictory claims that need to be investigated before one can make a snap judgement like those here on FR feel so free to do.

What would the FBI lose by calling this terrorism? To me it would seem that they and the government would benefit by calling it terrorism. If in the nine months following 9/11 all the "terrorists" can manage to accomplish is to kill off two Israelis at an International terminal, that is likely to make the US public less fearful of the terrorists, not more. If attacking El-Al is the new M.O., then just avoid El-Al and Temples and you can breath easily.

[TLBSHOW]

this is a terrorist

[Sans-Culotte]

I don't think it matters so much whether the FBI calls him a terrorist. I, for one, think the real danger is that he represents the tip of the iceberg in "disgruntled Arabs". They may or may not be connected to MidEast money, but they are neighbors and shop owners and businessmen who have been here for years, and who one day, decide to join the Jihad and start killing Jews and Americans.

I think it was a mistake for the FBI to attempt to characterize him as a lone nut, because this is going to make many (non-Arab/Muslim) Americans see a potential terrorist/disgruntled muslim everywhere they look.

I believe there are many of these types out there.

[dagoofyfoot]

When I look at the pic of this beautiful girl whose life was cut short, I have to remember that according to the Koran;
She is a descendant of Apes and Pigs. Killing her guarantees 72 virgins if one dies doing it. Killing her is the duty of every muslim. One will be celebrated as a martyr for doing so, and the remaining of the killers family will be so proud and achieve higher social status.
When will the American people rise up and say enough is enough!
Islam is an evil cult that needs to wiped off the face of the earth!

[John W]

I've seen the "not on watch list" used regularly in "LAX not a terrorist attack" articles and posts.How many of the September 11,2001 hijackers were on a watch list?

[Paulus Invictus]

Are the Palestinian suicide ( homicide) bombers terrorists or merely people with a bad attitude and an ingrained death wish? Perhaps someone who objected to seeing the Israeli flag being flown? Clue for the FBI: the Egyptian killer was a terrorist!

[Dave S]

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

No they are educated in an environment of hate. Then they are recruited by a terrorist organization, given training in what to do, and then sent off to do a particular job for the terrorist organization whether it be that Martyrs Bridgade that Arafat controls, Islamic Jihad, Hizbullah, or some other group. Occasionally a nut case might do his own solo thing but then he would be more likely to use a gun or grenade or other weapon of convenience.
