Well,we now know that 9-11 was not the first attack on the US,there was the
first WTC bombing,two US embassies bombed,


You have embassies in your own country? Embassies are established
overseas.

the Khobar Towers bombing,


The Khobar Towers were in Saudi Arabia.

and the
USS Cole bombing.


The USS COLE was attacked in the Yemen.


As a firearms enthusiast, Jim, you might be familiar with the phrase
"going off half-cocked".

Yes, he said so too - my mistake for being too literal.

now a question, do
you know how "flash in the pan" originated?


Matchlocks and flintlocks again: the priming fires but doesn't ignite
the charge in the barrel (blocked vent, for instance). So you get the
flash in the pan, but no shot.

Me gun nut, me know these things Even if my sense of humour
occasionally needs recalibration when reading Americanese

And embassies are considered part of the country who's embassy is sited
there;IOW,those embassies are US soil.

the Khobar Towers bombing,


The Khobar Towers were in Saudi Arabia.


Full of US troops,who the attack was directed at.

and the
USS Cole bombing.


The USS COLE was attacked in the Yemen.


An attack on a warship is an act of war.
Whether it's in port,or on the open seas.

Surely you cannot be this dense? You are saying that attacks on US
embassies in other countries is NOT an attack on the US,or that the USS
Cole attack was not an attack on the US??

Addendum;I found it interesting that no one else in the NG called Mr.Adam
on his statement that those attacks were not against the US.

Also note that I never said "on US soil",or "US territory".
