<<but still very obviously a terrorist attack... what else could it be?>>

Well of course. The problem is that after 9/11 we've become conditioned to associate "terrorist attack" with people or groups outside the US.....and that may prove true again this time. But the reality is that people like Timothy McVeigh are terrorists too.....they just happen to be inside nut jobs.

The bigger problem is that I don't believe the Obama admin would ever admit to it being an outside job even if it was. How could I possibly believe this admin after Benghazi?

This issue I have with that (not to sound like Stalin) is that when outside attacks happen I'd like our military to take a 50,000 to 1 stance. Meaning you kill or wound 1 person and we're going to kill 50,000 of your people. Don't send our boys in to be butchered - launch rockets right into a metro area with no regard for innocent human life. There may be global outcry but too damn bad. Don't strike our innocent civilians and we wont kill yours. OTOH, if you choose to kill our random civilians we're going to do the same - 50,000 to 1.

I sound like a nasty ol' geezer but I'm sick of this terrorist garbage - I'm sick of North Korea and I'm sick of sending the youth of our country into get hurt/killed in a war that doesn't get the job done. One of these days we're just going to have to carpet bomb and use rockets to vaporize an entire city. Maybe then countries will realize that we ARE willing to be brutal beyond what they currently think....and then all this bs will end
