Thing is, if it were Al Qaeda you’d think they would have tried to claim responsibility by now. Doesn’t make a lot of sense to commit terrorist acts anonymously. I like Greg’s story better, except I’d finger an individual homeowner who got in over his head, rather than a corporate figure.
Still haven’t seen any more information on that guy that was shot and killed as he tried to ram the police. We’ll have to see what the story was with him.

I am still intrigued by the FBI’s references a month or so ago to interrogation of terror detainees and the plans that they had to set fires in the west.

We know that at least part of the fires were set intentionally.

Would it be so far fetched to consider that the majority of them were set intentionally in a coordinated effort?

Greg,

That’s a heck of a theory and I am sure some leftist might actually use it.

However, killing potential homebuyers is not a good way of doing business. It also does not explain the multiple fires arcross a large area.

But seriously, it is a good tale. You could make a movie from it and probably do better the the rest of Hollywood.

In these trying times I have been so proud of my fellow San Diegans. To the point of almost crying at the generosity and care that I have seen shared between the people in my hometown. As the ashes rain down upon us, I look at the orange sun and think this will soon pass and when it does, we can all look back with pride.

Many of the networks news “reporters” have been trying so hard to find negatives and keep hitting a brick wall.

I suggest they look at the 6 criminal invaders caught looting at Qualcomm Stadium, that’s the only “wrong doing” they’ll find.

Here is my conspiracy theory (I’m practicing telling horror stories for Halloween). During the housing slump of the 1970s, arson was commonly used by owners for the insurance money. Now imagine some construction firm or some real estate investor has some housing tracks next to the mountains that aren’t selling. So some arsonists are hired, 1,000+ homes burn down and presto times are good again as either the insurance money rolls in or people that lost their homes in the fire move into those previously unsold homes.

“Harry Reid announced that the fires were due to Global Warming several days ago.”

And then, six minutes later, denied he ever said that.

Harry has had a bad week.

Wordsmith,

I guess, just like during Katrina, this Lt Gov has forgot to look up.

A UH-60 class helo is not a stealth aircraft. It is pretty hard to NOT see these things, yet they are all over. It is especially difficult to not see them with the garish yellow safety paint.

It is amazing how the left screams for the US Military when they are in trouble, but insults us, calls for our deaths, and attacks our recruiters the rest of the time.

I also have to ask what, with a million people in shelters, is the state doing to mobilize the able-bodied among the evacuees? Logically there must be more than a few who can help out, even with mundane support tasks. What can an infantry Soldier do that a civilian cannot during a wildfire? Or is it more of the “let someone else take care of me” culture?

Maybe there are people volunteering to help but the media could care less about reporting it.
