So far, Islamic terrorists have not shown any high degree of skill in anything, except secrecy, subterfuge, deception, theft, fraud, cold-blooded murder and a willingness to die for the demonic Allah. I definitely don't rule these shootings out as terrorism, but given that this perp is skilled in marksmanship, how many other Islamists with similar skills would you expect to find in other areas of the country? Actually, the recent FBI report on 9/11 concluded that the attack was brought off with amazing skill and percision. If you consider the fact that they actually were able to get training for several terrorists on how to fly 747s, it seems feasible, to say the least, that they could train marksmen. As far as coordination and communication, I think 9/11 proved they are capable of that as well.

I guess it's a test drive and they will stop. Let the media and the Damned(o-crats)villify and blame a couple crazy whities and the "gun culture."
After the elections, when the "right"(american hating anti-second amendment scum) people have gotten in. They go to work.
If you were a terrorist, do you want Dashole, or Bush for an opponent?
Between the election and christmas, a few dozen dedicated teams hunting through suburban malls will extinguish the consumer-driven American economy.
The double-dip recession will turn to cold, dark hell. And then, if I were they, I'd get serious.
That's also my answer to the "If they have nukes, why don't they use them?" crowd. Our enemies have hated us a long time. Long before we even knew who they were. They want to roast us slowly on the spit, not just cut our throats.

I seem to remember that these guys took flying lessons and openly told their instructors that they weren't interested in landing, which, of course, alerted agents (whose warnings were ignored) that they should be investigated. As far as planning goes, that was the result of many practice trips, exploitation of wide-open security lapses in our system (not least of which was the knowledge that flight crews were regularly instructed not to fight back) -- and luck.
These murders exhibit a high degree of skill -- my point being that it's unlikely that there are many more marksman out there capable of multiple hits with the same precision. Single, surprise hits, maybe.
