Blither on....

Im not constituting a conspiracy theory, no, just pointing out that in the pure abscence of any facts about terrorism, we look at the facts we do know. Airplanes crash, Charter airplanes crash more often, charter airplanes in poor countries crash much more often. All your other attacks on me are just two bit ad homenim attempts to bolster your weak position.

But you really take the cake when you have to trot out the new hip word "elitist", for christ sakes man, think for yourself for once. I never discounted that it could be terrorism, but I highly doubt that it was, because, planes actually crash without terrorism, play the odds.

Now I have to get back to my Skull and Bones meeting, us internationalist Illuminati members are having a "mock the peons" party tonite, and I have to get my top hat blocked. (BTW, that was sarcasm, I hope you got it)

I listed five good reasons to suspect terrorism:

They crash with Tony Blair is in the 'hood.

They crash while there is a manhunt on for AQ operatives infiltrating flight crews.

They crash when they are full of French tourists and the Moslems are having a hissy - big demos - over the French bannig headscarves in schools.

They crash when numerous other flights have been cancelled due to security concerns.

They crash in places where gate and ramp security sucks.

Moreover, it has ALWAYS been SOP to deny successful terror/sabotage attacks. In WWII numerous sabotage/infiltration successes and attempts were kept secret in the U.S. and other countries. It would be more surprising to find openness and honesty. No "conspiracy," that's just how it is.

Now there is a sixth reason to suspect terrorism: It seems that the specific threat was explosives carried in a body cavity.

You might count this as number seven: The HSA considered going to a red terror alert in the past couple of days.

Oh, and one more to contraindicate bad maintenence: The charter service has their planes serviced by a contractor in Norway. If this plane was falling apart, you might not want to fly any other airline that uses the same shop.

My position is that you're pompous windbag who gets his rocks off trying to make people feel stupid for offering opinions. My words couldn't bolster that position any more than your own words already have.
