From another thread but relevant here, too.

I still say islami. With discipline; possibly some military or camp training. He did not shoot over the weekend. Disciplined enough to hold off. Takes one shot and moves one; regardless whether its fatal or not.

Why? New statements from Jihadis recently; attacks in Kuwait and on a tanker.

Threats against the US economy; numerous attacks at gas stations; one of the most mundane things people do.

Nailing the local economy in the area.

Perhaps two teams; i think the white truck is a red herring. Shoots from one vehicle and then moves into another.

Could be a white muslim.

Thank G-d it's just a white truck and not a truck with Arabic lettering on the side. If it was Arabic lettering the police wouldn't be allowed to "profile". But, isn't it unfair to pick on trucks just because they're white?

If this is a terrorist plot, they would get much more mileage from using different groups in cities across the country. If this happened say in St. Louis and then Denver and then Charlotte, and then Milwaukee, etc. there would be much more hysteria, everywhere.

I know that we are cracking down on their organization, but I have to believe that there are sleeper cells here and that they could easily have cash to move about the country and communicate with each other, maybe through pre-paid cell phones.

I know that we can't discount the terrorist angle, but I would be somewhat surprised that is the case.

"Nailing the local economy in the area."

Everyone I know (including me) is thinking twice about walking through any open parking lot (stores, restaurants)...not to mention visiting gas stations; or letting the kids play outside. (Thank the Lord for the rain)

This IS starting to feel like something more than the "average nut". Whoever is doing this is circling the capital and bringing this entire area to a "psychological lockdown".

I hope whoever it is..is stopped soon.

"Could be a white muslim."

Yup. That's as good a guess as any I've seen.

Yes, white truck drives off and pulls attention away from shooter who stays behind and leaves unnoticed. If truck is stopped, the driver has no signs of involvement.

Just like a stage magician. Create a diversion with one hand while the other does the "trick".

Whoever the snipers are they are victims of US foreign policy like we all are, and so their plight deserves to be heard and remunerated by the blindly-conservative tax-payers who give so much dishonor to the nation they _say_ they love so dearly.

And hopefully the next pent-up consevative shot is the one waiting to get the gun that they recently purchased, and would otherwise use in "self-defense" as they are like to say.

Is sarcasm deadly?

I don't know much about white muslims but was wondering about Bosnian or Serbian snipers (remember "Sniper's Alley in Sarajevo?). Any one know about them? Aren't they Caucasian?
