    Bill Hemmer on Fox News this morning said that they were saying that there was now no connection between that guy, his apartment they searched, & the bombings...

    Perhaps. But they aren't going to tell us what they know right now anyway. And especially if they are on a hot trail, they will most certainly do all they can to hide such for now. The lights have been turned on, and the cockroaches are running. Didn't they nab the Times Square bomber at the airport ?

    There are two possibilities and either al Qaeda or a domestic terrorist group is responsible for the bombings. Aside from the Saudi student who is already in custody, police are hunting for a hooded man, who attempted to gain entry to a restricted area five minutes before the first explosion, and the suspect is a dark-skinned man with a foreign accent and al Qaeda may have coordinated the bombings by using those international students. Another possibility is a Tea Party group because the attacks took place on Patriots' Day when federal income tax returns are due and Boston is a symbolic city known for the Boston Tea Party and the complete lack of prior warnings such as the so-called "chatter" by al Qaeda operatives may also point to domestic terrorism.

    And if everyone in the world was thirty feet high we wouldn't need step ladders. If an opening comes up to replace Obama's current White unicorn wrangler I'll put in a word for you OK?
    This is a silly fantasy b/c your utopian dream will never happen.....ever. Mankind evolved by 'natural selection' not by some 'Chamberlain' nonsense.

    And a "Tea party Group" has ever been implicated in harming anyone when ? Meanwhile, no one has yet to mention your basic leftwing Anarchists, who most certainly have a track record of destruction.

    So you are eager to send other people to war, but not go yourself.

    BTW Sgt York is a medal of Honor recipient, i find it ironic that a (*)(*)(*)(*)(*) like you is trying to bash him.

    I haven't been able to see anything new since about 8 CT this morning...

    This is also true...

    Just relaying what I heard, though...

    I haven't found it "all over the news", and I looked.

    The original claim is all over the right trash blogs though.

    I don't know if that's what you regard as news, but it does't qualify by any stretch.

    That's what all Democrats are saying ... that it's a "myth." You can't fault Obama and his Democrats for covering up the evidence -- It's the liberal immgration policies of Democrats that caused it to happen.

    Your "high horse" is a rocking chair!

    Republicans of ALL stripes have been on PF and the net, blaming Democrats, Obama, Leftists, North Koreansl Liberals, pacifists, nd every other group except, of course, themselves.

    Yet these Republicans are a group AS likely as ANYONE to have committed this crime against the people of America.

    Just because they call their murderous desires and plans "patriotism" does NOT make their acts honorable or right.

    That isn't exactly correct. There is a lot of verbal cowtowing... rather than detained, they say no "arrests"... while being treated one is not "in custody" per say... the LEO officials keep telling people not to jump to conclusions about people (plural) being investigated... and an FBI "lookout" memo says they are looking for a dark skinned/black man with a foreign accent trying to gain access to a restricted area 5 min before the bombing with a black backpack.

    Law enforcements job, at this point, is not to poison the pot. You will not get straight answers this close to such an event.

    Yep, the rotten fruits of multiculturalism are theirs to own. They consciously decided to change the culture and demographics of America so that they could have a locked in voting bloc of minorities voting themselves raises by voting Democrat every chance they get. They predetermined that the cultural and societal costs were worth the votes and power they receive in exchange. Like in this case, they are completely aware that the more Muslims you have, the more terrorist attacks you can expect, yet they continue allowing them to come here because they see them as yet another disenfranchsed group they can use in their war against the right.

    I did hear the part about the guy trying to get into the restricted area...

    At any rate, if there haven't been any reports of arrests, or someone being taken into custody, you can't just say that there actually are people in custody, and we're just not being told, or we're being told otherwise...

    But, you're right that straight answers typically don't come so soon after something like this...

    My sincere condolecenses to all people who suffered from it. Whoever did and whatever reasons he had for that is a murderer and criminal. It is better not to make any speculations about this blow for now.

    News flash... "man not in custody who does not exist as he was made up by the New York Post"s roommate suggests he doesn't "think" the man who does not exist "could do that".

    I might agree if this were Michelle Bachman or Alan West mouthing off some ridiculous right wing nonsense.

    But this is a bombing. Yes, I have my guess as to who did it. But, I'm not going to parrot it around and get into a bunch of name calling before we know some real facts.

    My guess is that this is either an Middle Eastern terrorist of some sort, a right wing skin head, or someone like hte Unibomber. Given those three choices, my odds of being wrong are 2 out of 3. Actually 3 out of 4 if you include "other" as a possibility.

    Ignorance seeks no limit. Show me a Republican group known for this type of terror? Show me any History.. I am not a Republican and have no dog in the fight but your hatred is bleeding.
