Thank you for service in Iraq. Our country owes a lot to you and your comrades.

Osama was in Afghanistan, the 9-11 attack was based in Afghanistan. Bush left the job half-finished in Afghanistan to the benefit of al-Qaeda and Iran. Osama's happiest day was when Bush decided to deplete precious American blood and American wealth in a long Iraqi war.

Folks, Listen to Jeff Kuhner on WRKO out of Boston. I Got a heads up from an old friend on the east coast that Jeff is a bit of a Chechnyan historian if you will and might be the guy to listen to at the moment...

Then why didn’t they have security points set up checking backpacks, strollers, other bags for people entering the main seating/staging areas? With that many security personnel all over the places, it seems to me that would have been the prudent thing to do.

I made a comment earlier that I counted at least five times in which the word “literally” was misused. One time “literally maybe a few miles or so away.” Yikes!

[angcat]

Looks like the whole cell has been activate?

Is he part Croatian, too? I thought he mentioned that once.

I'm going to watch for as long as possible. Will post bookmarks for what I consider important for later reference. Adrenalin is beginning to become low.

I'm proud of all of you people! You guys are Great!

For civilian events in other states? To avoid posse comitatus restrictions they have to be requested by the governor of the state they go to. And news reports said that the MA government requested the NY National Guardsmen (anti-terrorism unit) to be deployed to Boston for the marathon. Each state has their own anti-terrorism unit but NY and Florida (?) have an extra unit as well.

Easy-picking, “Soft Targets”, number in the millions; they have quite a lot to choose from.

CNN on-scene reporter guy says that their ‘live’ feed is on delay in case something happens they don’t want the rest of the country to see.

[tomkat]

CNN is shit, with a capital Shit

/french

[bonfire]

Oh, but live feed of limbs being blown off of INNOCENTS is just fine.

Got it!

Only GOOD thing about CNN is they are always first on the scene with Breaking News.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

American blood isn’t limitless. Look at history and note all the powerful nations destroyed by endless war. Our founding gneration was wise when they warned us not to take all the world’s troubles on our shoulders.

[AppyPappy]

I think that is why they are delaying now.

Not to give CNN too much credit, but you don't want to give up exact location of SWAT teams to guy with a gun watching TV. I think breaking away from live feed is prudent and justified.

[Old Sarge]

Un-friggin-believable

[ilgipper]

Iraq actually became a great trap to attack and kill terrorists. AL Queda sent their best in to go after us, and we killed an awful lot of them. Much easier battle field for us than the Afghanistan terrain.

I can second guess tactics in both Afghanistan and Iraq, but not the mission for each.

[tomkat]

exact location of SWAT teams

Not to be too much of a smartass, but it wouldn't much matter .. there's about 1,500 cops in that 6 block radius right now

scanner cop: he is boasting online > I will kill all of you as you killed my brother

[AppyPappy]

Scanner: Claiming he is posting online about his brother being killed.
