** EXCERPT **
Full Account | New York City police officers and firefighters cordoned off much of Times Square for more than two hours after a small explosion set off, the authorities said, by an improvised explosive device damaged the front of the Armed Forces Career Center on the traffic island bounded by 43rd and 44th Streets, Seventh Avenue and Broadway at 3:43 a.m., officials said. No one was injured, and after a temporary interruption, subway service was restored.
Most traffic around Times Square was allowed to pass by 6:45 a.m., after vehicles had been diverted for more than two hours. City officials confirmed that police had initially blocked off the area as a precaution to ensure that there was no secondary device or other threat; the officials emphasized that they did not believe anyone was in danger.
Police officers at the scene said the explosion blew a hole through the front door of the recruiting station, which is at the northern end of the structure.

Great point. We shouldn't pee our pants just because the pro terrorist, drive by media calls us names.
Please see my previous post.
Also, this talk that we should use Barack HUSSEIN Obama's full name smacks of idol worship. Jews aren't really allowed to use G-d's real name (we call him Hashem in public). We should not extend the rules we use for our G-d to Barack Hussein Obama. This Obama worship is just toooooo much!
John Kerry wasn't a Muslim either, but I remember loads of parodies depicting him as one in either a turban or a burqa. Why should Mr. Hussein Obama get a free pass?
Freepers had a howler of a photoshop depicting John Kerry with a beret and a moustasche. It made John Kerry look french even though he was Irish.
C'mon freepers! Lighten up! We have always had a sense of humor and we need some laughs now in this unpleasant and ambigious election season.
Must be one of those, “hate the war but love the troops” types.
Security photos show a woman wearing a pink burkah...
Looks more like “I am a peacnik idiot” to me. If there is army there will be no war. Must be potent stuff in the Kool Aid they are drinking.
I wonder what his/her DU screen name is....
“Im predicting hippy-douchebag over goat-effing islametard.”
Probably not an islamotard since he didnt try to kill anyone. My bet is a leftist moonbat of the move-on persuasion.
Of course hes not a Muslim! He said so himself! “I have never been a Muslim.”
John Kerry wasn't a Muslim either, but I remember loads of parodies depicting him as one in either a turban or a burqa.
I didn't sign on for the "no Dems in turbans" agreement, whether its Obama, Pelosi, Clinton or anybody else.
Good one, I am sure everyone remembers that John Kerry is not Irish at all but only discovered that sad fact late in life after years of playing off his name with the Boston Irish pols.
I agree. It was a military target of sorts, much too intimidating for your average Moe Camelhumper on the street.
Master Bater, on a bicycle, with the ammo box?
My youngest son (he's now 37) once yelled out while we were playing the game: "It was Mr. Green Jeans (Capt. Kangaroo), with the lead pipe, up his hiney."
We've never let him forget it :-)

Real honest way of saying an $4 empty can from the camping department. Calling it something about ammunition from the military supply store, you'd almost think they had an agenda.
How do you know he’s not a muslim? Daniel Pipes has laid this “he’s never been a muslim” rumor to rest. The guy sings the entire muslim call for prayer in an interview with NYT just last week. Some childhood memory, eh?
