How about a Freeper rushing to post that the Pentagon and the White House say it is not terrorist activity.

(Personally I don't know how they can rule this out so quickly, but that's what they say)

Liberals don't want to see Muslims blamed for anything, conservatives don't want to see Bush blamed for anything. Ergo, it's never terrorism - even when it is.

They are saying it DOESN'T APPEAR to be terrorist related and that there is NO EVIDENCE of terrorism SO FAR. It is the idiotic media like Fox News that paraphrases that into the definitive "isn't terrorism", because they are more interested in short, catchy headlines than accuracy. Not sure what is so hard to understand about the difference between "doesn't appear/no evidence yet" and "isn't".

Fire official interviewed on MSNBC says that the debris pile and other evidence strongly fit the pattern of a gas explosion. Some witnesses said they smelled gas before the explosions, other say they never did.

They said the shooting at LAX a few years back on July 4th was not terror related. Six months later, they said otherwise. As to the Pentagon, isn't it a bit early to draw a conclusion as to the cause of the explosion?

At this point in American life, a nuclear bomb could go off in mid-town Manhattan and the government would deny it as being terrorist related.

I doubt this incident is, but you're right.......the government issuing a no reponse so quickly makes you think or wonder just a little bit.
