Terrorist attacked on America soil

[diehardbiker]

Interesting and yea home grown terrorist, eh?
Whats worse, they were born in New Yawk!

How about the Bombing of the Murrah Building in Oklahoma back in 1993?

That was on American soil. It was perpetrated by two Americans (Timothy McVeigh and Terry Nichols) with extreme right wing views, but I would still consider the act terrorism.

This was interesting to ponder. Its hard to come up with these things. Even though Americans have been attacked before, it really hasn't happened on our soil all that often. The only two that come to mind are 9/11 and the Murrah bombing.

I was going to suggest Waco, too, but that was actually a government standoff, so doesn't count.

Opal,
It's terrorists, DHB ask us question about.

Do you remember anything in America are being attack by terrorists before 9/11?

Hmmmm... define terrorist... or are they freedom fighters.

England called Americans "terrorists" in late 1700s

 

[Teresh]

How about KKK lynchings? Those qualify as terrorist attacks.

My point exactly... were the folks fighting in the USA Civil war considered terrorists to each other? Based on the various definitions of the root word terror, many of the wars fought on American soil could be considered acts of terrorism by terrorists. Hell, even Stephen McVei could have been viewed as a terreroist...

Hey hey Americans didn't start a war over nothing. They were attacked on 9/11/2001. What were they supposed to do? Sit back and do nothing? Huh?

Well, we found out that Irak is not responsible for 9/11.

I have the feeling that we had terrorists long

Perhaps in a different ways such as these

Bush wants destory WTC.. making looks alike terroist and determinded want involved war to Iran/iraq reason too obession about Bin Laden/Saddam reason issues OIL...
He is happy taken over kuwaitt due the oil.. and to run the oil under kuwaittian(peoples) have to run the lowest sell..

Why American cover up ? Which there's no evidence related others.. Pretend it's releated Saddam.. Bush is happy about captive Saddam.. Why Bush already told media about his goal captive Bin Laden first place now why captive Saddam??? *confused* wonder why?

Who knew Bin Laden made it through border other country... who invovled Army coming from ... I believe Bush's source was responbile for this action.. Bush kept denied and cover up WHOLE THING...

Wha.. a pity ? Bush is not good gov't runs what more.. strong minded as his Father because too obession about IRAQ/IRAN due oil..

Monoplozited $$$ for run oil..

What more.... Remmy that hurriance hits Texas.. Why BUSH PARNOID about texas oil.. Do you know why.. He's ownz the oil.. Why Bush didn't make action to help New Orleans and think They can handle themselves..why didn't listen FEMA first place.. FEMA already warned to BUSH...

Bush is obession about WAR.. not thinking other needs to service runs smoothy??
That why American isn't good as groom well...
Canadian Gov't One of them who did tell media about American's gov't are closed minded and obession war! Isn't helpful.. and also about Deflict really extremelly heaviest... Bush expense on War.. than others.. 110%

Tell you ya!

 

[Liebling:-)))]

Yes, that´s right GalaxyAngel.

We Europeans know it´s Bush who is the responsible for that action, he cause his people to death.

Why approx. 5,000 Employees were on one to few days vacation before 9/11?

Why they have bomb under car park in WTC?

It seem pretty illogical to me.

That freedom fighter definition is a good one. May news services refrained from calling the 911 attackers terrorist and instead refered to them as freedom fighters. What a crock!

 

[IslandGal]

Well, we found out that Irak is not responsible for 9/11.

I do know that Iraq had nothing to do with the 9/11 attacks but it was Bin Laden who masterminded the 9/11 attacks. While I don't agree with the war on Iraq but I supported the war in Afghanistan to search for Bin Laden.

Bush wants destory WTC..

Do you have a proof that President Bush wanted WTC to be destroyed?
I am not too fond of Bush either but I don't think we should blame him for the destructions of WTC.

 

[IslandGal]

I am not sure who you were referring to.
It were the Islamic terrrorists not Americans who planted the bomb in the WTC car park in 1993.

I agreed with you. If he wants to damage WTC then he will do that before Bin Laden did it.

You are correct about that.

No, it´s not 1993, but 11/9. We suspected that it´s Bush´s people who put bomb under the car park.

After 11/9 attack, they found some bomb under car park. It´s not Irak or Islamic´s bomb. What´s that?

Thank you for fresh my memory about bomb in 1993... Oh yes, I remember it... Yes, it´s terrorist who did it.

All what I wish is search for Bin Laden, not war. It´s unfair to kill each other over that Bin Laden when we have no proof either it´s really him or not. What if it´s not him? People killed for nothing... It´s unfair.
