It was obvious the NYC attack was not from Taliban/Al qadea. etc - here is why

[The Straight Story]

In the US terrorists set up bombs then run away.

If perp was from ME he/she would have stayed with the car and died for their cause, would have made sure it went off.

Find an abandoned car with a bomb? Obviously the person was not a ME terrorist.

1. Nice Stereotyping.

:( However, it was an amateur, whomever it was.

3. Hmm would it be stereotyping if I said Kamikaze pilots were mostly Japanese?

Or would stats bear that out?

7. There's stereotyping, and there's profiling.

I'll throw one at you: when was the last time you heard of an American bomber using gas cylinders as fuel and a pressure cooker as a detonation device?

2. IMO...

The fact that the VIN number being filed off negates the Taliban and/or AQ.

4. The first attack on the World Trade Center was by people connected to Al Qaeda

who parked the van in the garage and ran away.

Just saying...

6. Beat me to it. nt

5. Three words, and a date: 1993, World Trade Center.

8. The construction is a giveaway.

Whoever built it was an idiot, unless it wasn't intended to detonate.
