Florida just seems like a strange target area to me. Except that these folks were with The Sun they're still kind of innocuous targets.

It's tough to get a feel for possible motives in this one.

Florida is not a strange target at all. Osama bin Laden hates Jews first and foremost. South Florida has the heaviest concentration of Jews outside of New York.

"Florida just seems like a strange target area to me."

Here are a few reasons I have thought of:

1. Large Jewish population

2. Numerous military installations.

3. Numerous tourist attractions

4. President's brother is Governor.

5. Site of controversy that ultimately put President Bush into office.

Additionally, we already know the terrorists were operating within a 10 mile radius of the latest anthrax incidents.

Florida gained international attention during the election "recount" fiasco. (I believe Bin Laden referred to the elections in one of his tapes.) It is also perceived to have a large Jewish population, which was highly visible in the Palm Beach ballot nonsense. It is also governed by the President's brother.

Are you on drugs? Anthrax? Florida has major targets and one little thing...A BUSH BROTHER AS GOVERNOR. I believe all of this is going strong right now and not 2 years ago because we have another President Bush and there is his brother in Florida. President Bush was in Florida during the attacks remember that. Terrorists came and trained and lived here. We have all of the major theme parks here. Palm Beach county had the worldwide attention of the election in 2000.

Take a look at Florida for a minute. It is far from an isolated attack. Something is up. Saddam tried to have Bush Sr. killed as well after he left office.
