Another thing he is omitting is that it is SOP for governments to cover up successful acts of sabotage. There isn't a conflict in the last 150 years in which this was not the case.

Yes, our government would lie to us, and put the airlines' financial viability above the lives of Americans. Get used to it.

Putin is vacationing in Sochi......Sochi was were the plane was enroute to...put two and two together.

No he isnt, he is talking accidents not purposeful attacks.

Hi

Where did you get that picture of Bush and Barbara on your profile page, I love it!

"Is McGreavey still your Gov. in NJ, NJ_Gent?"

McGreedy was never my governor. :-)

He is, for better or for worse, still occupying the position last I heard. He doesn't want to step down, Corzine isn't pushing him to step down, and the Dems in the legislature kicked up enough fuss to placate their big city constituents. The whole "movement" to get him to step down died nearly overnight. The GOP in NJ has a healthy combination of liberalism, ineptness, and corruption. McGreedy will be the governor until he decides to step down or until the next election rolls 'round. In fact, last I heard, he had not yet even submitted his letter of resignation.

No, it was not. You should consider going away and thinking.
Here is some audio for you. If you change after listening, come back.

Is there any possibility that we can have James Kalstrom sent to the Russians in order to get things straight?

Ahhh, isn't it wonderful how the Internet remembers everything? James Kallstrom has a nice long life ahead of him as a laughingstock.

[EggsAckley]

Is the California news posted? I searched and found nothing.
Thanks.

[texasbluebell]

Those weren't normal plane crashes, those were planned. That's what is implied, I believe.

[SamAdams76]

And yes, the first plane on Sept. 11th could have easily been an accident.

Yeah, right. A 767 heading to LA from Boston "accidently" veers hundreds of miles off course and just happens to slam into a New York City skyscraper.

Whoops!

Re: your delusions on #430 and again at #468

Thank you for your confirmation.

last I heard, he had not yet even submitted his letter of resignation.

I don't know why. It would be easy for him to move. He already has his s*** packed.

2) We don't even know for sure that two planes have gone down in Russia. What we know thus far is that it looks like one plane crashed, and Russian air traffic control believes it has lost contact with another plane. There may not even be a second plane and, assuming there is, we don't know if anything bad has actually happened to it.

Actually we do. It went off the radar screen. Do you know of an invisible plane? I know, it could have crash landed, etc., etc.

Thanks for that link, prairie!

That Soros is nothing but trouble and I'll believe he was funding the ouster of Shevardnadze (whew - I'm glad you could spell that!) to further democracy when I see pigs fly.

Don't remember where I found it, but help yourself. Just right click on it, and click on properties. Then copy the URL.

It IS a wonderful pic! I love elephants, and those the Bushes as well.

[COEXERJ145]

Uh, think about this. When it first happened, no one knew what kind of aircraft it was, no one knew a plane had been hijacked, so Yes, it could have been an accident. Once the facts started to come out that there were planes reported hijacked and then a second plane hit the WTC, terrorism became the obvious answer.

No 7700.

You and I and a dozen or so other people on FR know what that means ... :)

Ah, the old "sqwuak code" for distress, a skyjack, etc. Basically, you set the transponder to that number so the ID number would show 7700 next to the blip on the radar scope indicating a problem, skyjack, and so on. I do believe the transponders use an octal code, 4 digits that range from 0 to 7.

I'm a little bit of an aviation buff as well as a radio hobbyist with shortwave radios, scanners, and amateur radio.

Missing plane bound for Sochi

Maybe some of y'all who are as old as me will remember this. Didn't the hardline commies attempt a coup of Gorbechev while he was on vacation?

I'm having a serious case of deja-vu here.
