Trump: Massive explosion in Beirut was likely an ‘attack’

"WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says U.S. military generals have told him that they think the massive explosion that rocked Beirut on Tuesday, killing more than 70 people, was likely a bomb. He told reporters at the White House that he had met with some generals and they do not think it was a manufacturing-type explosion. He says the generals seem to think it was an attack — “a bomb of some kind.” The explosion flattened much of a port and damaged buildings across the capital, sending a giant mushroom cloud into the sky. More than 3,000 others were injured, with bodies buried in the rubble."

Yeah, well, 911 killed a lot more than 70 people and it was definitely a terror attack...and what did citizens in Beirut do? Oh, I know, they laughed and said we deserved it.

I am ONE person at least who has not forgotten.

I thought that ammonium nitrate was an oxidizer, not an explosive in itself. It needs to be mixed with something like a petrolatum product to actually explode.

I could understand that, but I can also understand 3rd-world incompetency as implied in article.

Yes, I could believe stupidity and negligence reigns and could lead to destructive results like this.

Partner, all I can say is that the "Gutter Mooselimb Religion" is responsible for this bombing of this city of Beirut.

We had the ultimate Mooselimb as the POTUS in the U.S. and the "America Hating Nasty Mooselimb Piece of Work Obama" and Obama gave Hezbollah the ammunition to bomb all of the Israelis and Christians in the area.
