WorldNutDaily: Texas fertilizer plant explosion was a terrorist attack... aimed at Bush

Writing in WorldNetDaily today, Judicial Watch founder Larry Klayman expanded on his conspiracy theory that a deadly fertilizer plant explosion in West, Texas, was actually a terrorist attack.

Instead of offering any evidence to substantiate his claims, he argues that the fact that the explosion at the plant was ruled an accident (and likely a result of loose regulations) is proof enough that the Obama administration is actually covering up an act of “Muslim terrorism” that was meant to kill George W. Bush, who lives in Dallas, Texas.

Dallas, of course, is approximately 77 miles north of West, but that doesn’t really matter.

See, as Klayman explains, Obama is “potentially even more dangerous than al-Qaida, Hamas, Hezbollah, the mullahs in Tehran, or any terrorist group or nation state, combined” and a “traitorous ‘Muslim in drag,’” and only Klayman himself can comprehend and expose his diabolical schemes.

Given that former President George W. Bush is perhaps the most hated man in “Obama’s Muslim world” of the Middle East, and among mosques here in the United States, and that West, Texas, where “W” grew up is only 30 miles as the crow flies from his Crawford ranch, how is it that even the possibility of Muslim terrorism was again not raised? Indeed, during yesterday’s dedication of the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum, “W” remarked about this closeness to his ranch in Crawford, Texas, where one must have surely felt the massive explosion. And, the explosion at the fertilizer plant in West, Texas, comes on top of the proximity in time to the Muslim terrorist bombings in Boston.

2. This is a perfect counterbalance to the nonsense that it's Perry's fault.

Crackpots on both ends of the spectrum.

Yippee.

4. I haven't heard the specifics of the Perry claim, but...

...wouldn't that have something to do with his "Come to Texas, and leave those pesky regulations behind" tour? The damage and death toll of the explosion can be traced to under-regulation, poor enforcement of the resources that did exist, and zoning of development in surrounding properties.

5. Perry's come-on that he's using is exactly that.

And Perry is getting a boot up his butt for his trouble.

However, the so-called lack of Texas regulations had nothing to do with the explosion in West, Texas. The blatant lies told by the West Fertilizer Co. is front and center on the whole mess. If they had told the truth, no one would have died.

7. True, but that goes to under-enforcement and poor resourcing...

...for enforcement agents. Deadly explosions thanks to lying owners tends to undercut "self-policing" arguments.

8. The same goes for the building in Bangladesh that collapsed.

There's nothing we can do about it if a business owner or corporation lies.

We just have to hope that they tell the truth next time.

Oh well.
