Alec Baldwin's residence a possible target?

...CBS News has learned that Los Angeles could be a target of retaliation. The FBI wanted us to keep Bin Laden on the line, but we felt that would compromise our objectivity.

Well, duh, THAT took a rocket scientist to figure out! Of COURSE the west coast is gonna be hit with something. Makes sense. Then, the midwest, if you want my opinion, which I'm sure most of you don't but I don't care, my kids don't either, half the time! :-)
Stay safe everyone!

Not surprising when one looks at how Bin Laden obssesses on certain targets. The bombing of the WTC didn't work and he made it a target again on the 11th. Seems he couldn't get it out of his head. The millenium bombers caught in the northwest were planning to target LAX. I suppose we can assume that the Space Needle in Seattle will be retargeted also.

CBS News has learned that Los Angeles could be a target of retaliationThey are going to bankrupt two energy companies and then raid the state surplus by selling energy for less than it costs to buy it. Then they are going to allow uncontrolled mass immigration, clogging all the freeways and straining social services to the breaking point.

Report: L.A. Target For Terror "...One camp of particular interest to U.S. intelligence appeared at one time to have a mockup of portions of Los Angeles International Airport, CBS2 reported. The FBI and LAX officials told CBS2 Friday that they have not heard of such reports.
In the meantime, security at LAX remains tight. National guard troops are in place and passenger cars are still not allowed near the airport.
LAX was also targeted by terrorist Ahmed Ressam, who was part of an international plan to bomb the airport just before the millennium celebrations, according to authorities."
Up until a few years ago, I lived in the Park West Apartments facing the runway on the backside of LAX airport off Lincoln Blvd. The runway was not even 150 yards away. Every time I see video of LAX on the tube or in a movie, I can almost always see my old residence.
If I still lived there in these days, let's just say that I'd be 'on patrol' 24/7.

Alec Baldwin's residence a possible target? I call your memory to the South Park movie. In that movie, Canada bombs the Baldwin mansion, killing all the Baldwin brothers. Perhaps the terrorists saw the movie...
To: SwearenginP
WOW, no kidding? Bet I couldn't have figured that one out in a million years.

Possibly the Golden Gate Bridge also
To: SwearenginP
Think they'll go after the pier in Oceanside?
To: sailor4321
Hope not. I am only 20 miles away from there!
To: ChowChowFace
Was the Golden Gate Bridge previously a known target? I didn't know about that one.

It was launched back into the water 'early' due to security concerns and all ceremonies for the relaunching event was cancelled. I live in the area where the USS Cole is being repaired.

I GOT IT! THE TERORIST IS GRAY MATTER DAVIS!
To: SwearenginP
I think Hollywood could be a target. It represents American culture, which they hate.
To: stilts
Bin Laden obssesses on certain targets Yes! and the other target was the Capitol not the WH or Pentagon.
