Watch the crawls on CNN, etc...repoprts of debris found in various places in TX...

I believe he means the focus of the reports are coming from the vicinity of Palestine, Texas. He's right, too. Militant Muslims will spin this as Allah championing their cause.

Well, "landed" is probably the wrong term. But callers and videotapers from Palestine Texas have had the best view. So "near Palestine Texas" is certainly correct at least as far as the initial breakup location. At any rate, if Islamists claim that Allah did it, as I suspect they will, they will seize on this little fact also.
