DOJ Evacuated

MSNBC | 9/17/01

[Catie]

The Dept. of Justice (D.C.) has been evacuated. No further info. available.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

He said that if they had more serious weapons, they'd have already used them.

I have believed that from the very beginning. Osama bint Laden is nothing more than an Arabic Timothy McVeigh. McVeigh hoped to precipitate a race war with a truck bomb. Osama bint Laden wants a Jihad.

PS - in Arabic, "bin" meanse "son of," "bint" means "daughter of."

As far as I am concerned, Osama bint Laden is a coward, and every way we can label him as such should be used.

[PoisedWoman]

Osama bint Laden is a coward, and every way we can label him as such should be used.

You mean we have another bent -- er, bint -- one? Cowardice seems to come with the "territory."

[E. Pluribus Unum]

You mean we have another bent -- er, bint -- one?

They're probably bosom buddies.

[gfactor]

This plan has been in the making for years.

Says who?

[Osinski]

but I know it's true because one of my friends who is working at home today called me because he saw it on tv

It's a hoax...no evac, but you "know" it's "true". Be careful upon who you're relying.

[CubicleGuy]

They are obviously playing some psy war head games with us (that's what terrorists do).

And, then again, they could be setting us up for the ultimate "boy who cried wolf" scenario. You keep calling in the fake bomb threats until nobody takes them seriously any more, and that's when you send in a real bomb and call in a real bomb threat, knowing that you won't be taken seriously this time, either.

[wingnuts'nbolts]

Ollie has experience, the others just have heads that talk.

[ExSoldier]

I disagree with Ollie this time as well. If you're going to take on an opponent much bigger and much faster than yourself, you're first going to start when he ain't lookin' and then you're sure as heck not going to let him get up...so he can PULVERIZE you for making the attempt in the first place! Follow up attacks are a given...and given this guys record, he'll do something even BIGGER and more horrorific--like a Chemical Attack. NOT a bio-attack. Biological weapons take time to incubate and even then it would take some time (depending on the agent used) for it to be identified as a terrorist action. But victims barfing up their lungs from SARIN or SOMAN will be immediately identified as being the victims of terrorism. This is especially true as first responders pouring into the area who are improperly trained or improperly equipped will also then begin to die from this new exposure to a very persistant agent.

FREEPERS, look around your towns and cities...are the Emergency Operations Centers conducting disaster drills or especially Chemical Attack drills with the fire departments and hospitals? ASK LOCAL GOVERNMENT why this is not being done. These "rehersals" are critical to success in the event of a real attack...for in the rehersals the glitches and snafus will appear so they can be planned for in advance. If this is not being done, then your city or town is about as ready for an attack as those poor souls in the WTC.

"Fox News just now reporting it.... Rita Cosby has no more info."

I wonder if Rita will classify this morning's successful evacuation/bomb scare as an apparent victory for Al Gore.

WTC & Pentagon attacks

Here's the best collection of photographs I've found:

[Catie]

Given that the Attorney General and the FBI Director just appeared at a press briefing, I assume this too was a false alarm (Thank God).

[StarFan]

Another target for Marty Meehan. I doubt we will be hearing much from that moron for quite some time. BTW Drudge mentioned having inside info that the threat (not spin) was also directed at the Bush girls.

[homeschool mama]

He subbed recently for Hannity on the Hannity and Colmes program. FOX News.

[Post Toasties]

That is what I tend to believe, also. However, this is a wake up call to America that a few years down the road, the best shot is liable to be a nuclear device, and that we've been given fair warning that somebody out there will be willing to set it off in the US or Europe, unless decisive action is taken now.

[blam]

"...and that we've been given fair warning."

I agree. ...at least adequate warning.

[Post Toasties]

True; it is not 'fair' warning, but it is hard to ignore, even by the most indurated Lefty.....

[TERMINATTOR]

Prepare for the worst, hope for the best!

Luke 22:36 (KJV) --Then said he unto them, But now, he that hath a purse, let him take it, and likewise his scrip: and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one.

Got sword? (M1 Garand ==>CMP)

No mercy, no quarter!
May the jihadists burn in hell for eternity!
Help speed them on their way!

[pray4liberty]

Is somebody after the Clinton papers?

[Clive]

The Lee Enfield No 4 Mark 1 Star is a better rifle.

And the spike bayonet is better for its intended purpose, although I admit that it is useless as a knife.

Flame away, Yanks!

[TERMINATTOR]

No flames from me Clive. I have a Longbranch No.1 MK 4*. It is indeed a fine weapon. I am unable to decide which I love better, my M1 Garand or my Lee Enfield.
