That would be your opinion. What else is there to talk about since we don't know who did this?

There is a lot to talk about, but with you it's typically some hateful comment about the President. Such posts from you seldom correct some misstatement by another party. You introduce the criticisms off the wall, with hateful obsession. If you think I am wrong, then you should at least consider the impression that you are making.

Every high ranking official? Can you back that up or are you just talking out of your moderate ass again?

Sure, lets start with the chairman of the House Committee on Homeland Security Dianne Feinstein

"My understanding is that it's a terrorist incident," Sen. Dianne Feinstein told reporters, saying she had been in contact with U.S. intelligence agencies.

Seems pretty straightforward to me, au contraire.

Did you miss the qualifier "especially as a means of?"

Meaning the term applies to the systematic use of violence. But often as a means of coercion. So just pointless systematic violence with no agenda, political or otherwise, would also be considered terrorism under this definition.

I don't necessarily agree with TRUT all the time, but it's hard to dispute the notion that he's not an idiot. He also tends to outline his opinions better than most on here, you and I included.

As you can tell from this thread, the president is under much more public scrutiny. He has a lot more to lose by prematurely labeling things.

This is contrary to the real issue, which is, who gives a flying ****?

Cool, you and yours can stick with the def that's used a tenth of the time. I'll stick with the definition given to the word since its origin that just so happens to remain the primary definition in most sources.

I believe they searched his apartment last night

Boston Marathon Explosions: Revere Apartment Searched « CBS Boston

Police and federal agents searched an apartment building on Ocean Avenue in nearby Revere late Monday night in connection with the bombings.

CBS News Senior Correspondent John Miller reported Tuesday morning the apartment search was related to a man who is reportedly under guard at Brigham and Women’s Hospital.

Miller reported the man is a Saudi national who is in the United States on a student visa.

You do what you want. If you want to use the "original" definition, though, that would include only acts perpetrated by a government.

And a tenth of the time is nonsense. My original point was, the word has a very broad spectrum of uses, and I think I've made that point.

We're just arguing semantics, man. No big deal.

They were interrogating him, when Obama busted through the door and demanded that they release him. Apparently they were really close to uncovering his ties to Al Qaeda, but Obama has a secret relationship with them, and negotiated the man's freedom in exchange for more vacation days for Michelle.
