What would make the shoebomb/skyscraper story more scary?
Edited on Thu Feb-09-06 08:41 PM by wtmusic
Did Peggy Noonan leave to "spend time with her family" too? Seems like imagination-wise the 'pubbies are running on empty and could use a little help.

How about...

They were going to drop a shoe bomb onto Mt. Rushmore, then crash into Graceland
They were going to poison the San Francisco water supply with 30,000 pounds of Oxycontin
They were going to ram a truck full of empty warheads into a baby formula factory

:shrug:

5. What if it was a....DIRTY SHOE BOMB?
Gotta make sure you wash those sneakers once in awhile.

Of course, we had Cheney dropping the F-bomb on the Senate floor awhile back.

19. OMG, Paris Hilton is a friggin terrorist?
Dammit, I should have known. Those Simple Life shows were merely a cover for her to move around the country setting up her sleeper cells.

12. Okay I'm laughing here
What else is there to do? But what "they" do is take a little truth and mangle it up into a terror gram. Bush shits all over the details-the names, the place, the reason,the why and what they actually did-err not much-thank God for Southeast Asian nations or LA would be toast. Wants the poor sheeps to think "thank god for spying".

Probably someone was planning on blowing up planes with a shoebomb. Probably somebody else had the name of the LA building on his computer somewhere. So Bingo Bango! Put them together. More bang for your buck.

14. Did FAUX really show the scene from movie Independence Day
where that particular building got zapped? Came into the room as KO was on TV giving Worst Persons awards for the day and caught him commenting on it.

Let's see, showing footage from a sci-fi flick to illustrate what could have happened... yeah, that's reporting and letting us decide. :grr:

16. Like that part in Austin Powers 2
where Dr. Evil says "Fire the 'laser!'" and shows the part of Independence Day where the White House gets blown up

"Actually that's just footage from Independence Day, but the REAL terraist attack would be alot like that. Scary."

17. A "shoe bomber" blowing up a skyscraper?
If he was wearing boots made of Composition Four plastique he couldn't blow up a skyscraper. The whole story is an obvious bald-faced lie.
