Bombing At Times Square Military Recruiter?

They are saying the explosion may come from a man-made device. If so, the word "TERRORISM" applies -- whether the attackers are jihadis out to hit symbolic targets or Berkeley-style lefties who view America a s a bigger threat to the world than the Islamists.

New York City police officers and firefighters cordoned off much of Times Square after an explosion — possibly set off by a human-made device — rocked the front of the Armed Forces Recruiting Station on the traffic island bounded by 43rd and 44th Streets, Seventh Avenue and Broadway around 4 a.m.

No injuries were immediately reported. A city official confirmed that the explosion occurred and that police had cordoned off the area as a precaution to ensure that there was no secondary device; the official emphasized that there was no reason to believe that any additional devices had been planted.

I just heard a TV report that someone was spotted riding away on a bicycle after throwing a device at the recruiting station. No arrests yet, but it will be interesting to see if there is a claim of responsibility. My personal thought is that this probably makes the perps "Code Pink types", since any self-respecting jihadi would have blown himself up during daylight hours to take out as many innocents as possible. The fact you have a coward fleeing the scene on an environmentally-friendly means of transportation when there was no one around makes it appear to be the tactics of the Left -- though still treasonous terrorism.

1 Let's not forget that no matter the means or the outcome, the real war is always within ourselves. It's wrong to bomb anyone over oil or ideals. This person who did this strikes me as having the same mentality as anybody else who would bomb someone over something as unreal as an idea or a thing that 'you can't take with you'. So, on that note, I think it's unfair to group this incident with "the left" or any other pre-judicial concept you might have about any kind of 'them'. in my opinion the groups most apt to bomb people over unimportant things are Islamic Jihadists and Right-Wing Republicans. Don't we terrorize the oil-producing countries into this game in the first place? This guy would probably be happier in fallujah with an M-4 anyway. I guess some just fall through the cracks.

2 My guess is that you have your head shoved way up your ass, based upon your attempt to vilify conservatives and vindicate the anti-American Left that has been trying to shut down recruiting stations and undermine the war.
