I'm sure the poor, confused Liberals are wringing their hands, wondering what to do. "There are just so many different points of view. It's all soooooo confusing. What to do? What to do?"

Exactly!!! Italy has put up with the red brigade and the mafia for years. Terrorist attacks are not new to them. And there intelligence agencies are top notch and trusted by us.

Capt. Jim Tilmon on Msnbc is saying this looks suspicious, when you look at the building. He says there was too much room for the pilot to get around the building, it shouldn't have hit.

...This morning a Caller into FoX -&- Friends who reads sign language stated that OSAMA bin LADEN was giving sign language signals with his left hand in the tape that was released yesterday to the world's Media.

...No wonder the BUSH Administration has called for the Media not to air these OBL Tapes in -Time of War-...???

Berlusconi has been unequivocal in his support. Don't lump Italy in with the other Eurowimps. Italy's pilots were down on the deck, flying some of the most dangerous missions in the Gulf War, while the French were whining/complaining about the missions that were assigned to them, and bragging that their rations were better than anyone elses. Looks like they took Napoleon's admonition that "an army travels on it's stomach" to the nth degree. That's all they're good for now. Foo-foo MRE's.

That's no accident.

Is Cynthia McKinney blaming Bush and the Carlysle Group?

Crash happened after business hours so building not very occupied.

The odds of crashing into that building by accident are astronomically small.

arab terrorists lie. creating doubt in the mind of victims as to the perpetrator and motives are de rigeur. if you believe a pilot has tech problems, and out of 360 degrees up and down hits the only thing in the sky, and a skinny one at that, i have a like new bridge for sale, cheap.

It HAS happened before, but always weather related (fog, etc.). A B-25 flew into the Empire State Building in the 1945 due to fog...

I thought it was a body also. It was long and body sized, but it fluttered and flew horizontally for at least 100 feet away from the building and took a while to fall. Bodies fall straight down. Maybe you and I saw different things, and that's why I replayed the incident. In my tape is was definately cloth. I am assuming it was a curtain because it was so large.

The picture in the poster came off of the web, from a website titled 'Bert is Evil'. Apparently whoever made up the poster in the photo (which is real) went onto the web to get pictures of Osama, and found that one. Probably had no idea who Bert is.

Do a web search for 'Bert is Evil' and you should find it.

The only one that comes to mind was the bomber that hit the Empire State Building in the 40's - but that was due to heavy fog. It's a bright, clear day in Milan, and there are no other skyscrapers right around the Pirelli building.

I don't buy that it's an accident. No freaking way.

This is an awful lot of damage for such a small plane. As the Fox guy is saying, remember how little damage was done in FL by the teenage pilot in a small plane. This is too much damage for a concrete building.

Plane took off from Slovenia, now they're saying.

Typical. Italians are killed and your first reaction is to think of Jews and try to score some sort of point or another. Thanks for dragging this forum into the sewer.

Uh. The two related are they not?
