Car bomb found in New York's Times Square - How Should The USA react?

[Desmond Hawkins]

Nissan, huh? Have we forgot so soon who bombed Pearl Harbor? I say a war with Germany is in order.

Are you never not on?

They used gasoline, propane bottles from gas grills, and fireworks, in an SUV. You could not possibly, in a million years, come up with something that points more to the radical right white guys.

Hmm... someone who sells propane and propane accessories.

Queens is not a district, its a borough of New York City, and a county.

And I live there as of 2 days ago

40 something white guy? Guess me, Mobby, and VRWCAgent should turn ourselves in for detention until the war on terror is over.

But I'm native american!

 

[FriendlyFire]

But I'm native american!

Native American would have remembered to turn ON the propane gas tank and brough nitrate fertllizer instead of the compost kind.
Probably another nut job. (At least he didnt set hes crouch on fire)

Who would want to set this lovely man on fire?

Wrong, because it's a Nissan.

 

[Millman]

I know I have to be a little Gnome here. (Smaller than a troll)

Do you mean how the U.S. should investigate on who planted it?

Otherwise they should react the same and diffuse the bomb.

It's not like this conversation hasn't been brought up before? If the bomb was set up by someone domestic or foreign because you know it hasn't happened before?

 

[Janusi]

Obviously the United States must invade the United States, they are harboring far too many terrorists for it to be just coincidence. They must be getting government support!

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

They say propane tanks, fireworks, petrol and a clock device were removed from a parked sports utility vehicle.

Authorities are have send out a composition drawing based on witness testimony

There's someone else I would suspect more.....

I have a rock-solid alibi, and besides I have an IQ far above the single-digit range of which the attempted bomber clearly wasn't even making much use of, if the news reports are even slightly accurate. I mean, this attempt was so lame we can actually rule out anyone intelligent building it and setting it to deliberately not go off as some sort of scare attempt.

 

[Cutlass]

You aren't who I had in mind.....

 

[IglooDame]

You aren't who I had in mind.....

Ah, good. I feel better now.

Edit: In actual answer to the OP, I think we should invade Times Square and send Mayor Bloomberg to Gitmo. Should have done it when the idiot welding plot against the Brooklyn Bridge was discovered.

 

[warpus]

They're not sure who did this, so in response the U.S. should invade a neutral country - like Switzerland.

 

[I'm Cleo!]

Should have done it when the idiot welding plot against the Brooklyn Bridge was discovered.

Hey, that "idiot welding plot" you're talking about has been used to justify indefinite detention and torture. This plan got to the "light the fuses" stage -- I think we should probably just torture everyone on Earth until they admit that they planned it.

Wrong, because it's a Nissan.

It'd be even funnier if it was a Pinto.

Spoiler :

Then maybe it was someone from the Green party (Ralph Nader).

 

[ParadigmShifter]

So far MobBoss, VRWCAgent have had the finger of suspicion pointed at them and IglooDude has jumped in to arouse our suspicions too.

Presumably they need to be detained and interrogated in order to get to the bottom of what they may be hiding.

If they have nothing to hide they need have nothing to fear.

VRWCAgent and MobBoss both have beards too I believe (which arouses more suspicion). If they have shaved them off, this is even more suspicious.

 

[Aegis]

Wrong, because it's a Nissan.

Why would the far right want to destroy an American-made car when they have a foreign car handy?

 

[JollyRoger]

But I'm native american!

We've got to figure out if you are more Johnny Walker Red or Johnny Walker Lindh. As painful as it may be, you are better off choosing Red here.

Let the waterboarding commence! If they aren't really witches I'm sure they won't float.
