Fires Related To 'Terra'?
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 08:54 PM by HornBuckler
If Someone Has Brought This Up Prior I Apologize -

Theory

If Terrorists Wanted To Jack Up On America How Expensive Would A Match And Some Gasoline Be? 1000+ Homes Destroyed A Dozen Plus Killed And A HUGE Damage To Infastructure - Isn't It Possible? The News Hasn't Picked Up On This Angle

Just A Theory - Whatcha Think?

3. I thought about that also, but I think it may just be nature
Lots of fires over the years, even before 9-11. And I think someone would take credit for it if it were terror.

the fires.

7. Al-Qaida planned

FROM JOSEPH FARAH'S G2 BULLETIN
Al-Qaida planned
U.S. forest fires
FBI memo described plot
to set blazes in the West

As arson wildfires consumed nearly 200,000 acres in Southern California, destroying 850 homes and killing at least 13, the inevitable question arises: Who started the fires?

While firefighters focus on containing the blazes rather than the detective work necessary to prosecute arsonists, many are wondering about a possible connection with terrorism.

In August, Australian authorities launched an investigation into reports al-Qaida planned to spark bushfires in a new wave of devastating terror attacks.

9. Geraldo was reporting that two guys were seen
throwing flaming things from a vehicle. So, who knows what the hell is going on.

Yeah, I watched some FoxNews this evening. Gag me. At least Mike Malloy is now on the air and I feel so much better.

11. I doubt it
Edited on Tue Oct-28-03 09:30 PM by Astarho
Every year during fire season or after a major fire this theory gets floated around. I'm as big a conspiracy theorist as the next person...

But I don't believe this. First of all why would Terrorists ("those who use terror as a weapon") use an attack that looks like a natural disaster and not take credit for it. And if Bin Ladin did put out a video claiming credit for it, it would be running 24/7 on the media.

Second with all the idiots here they don't need to. One of the Arizona fires was started by a lost hiker. Also in the middle of summer I still see smokers tossing cigarettes out their car windows.

13. I think it's a bunch of crap that minimizes the pain of our loss and
makes Bush happy.

At least two of the fires are arson related (one was a van with two white guys...so I suppose it could be right wing treehater terrorists)

Another was caused by a gun nut jackass that got lost in the woods and panicked when his trusty gun couldn't get him out (he forgot to take BOY SCOUT 101)
