Yet another insider joke! If I remember the story correctly, a few years ago a freeper was in a hurry to get into the shower and accidentally typed "series" instead of serious and "hugh" instead of huge. I'm a bit fuzzy on the details, as it's been quite awhile. (Keep asking the questions! You'll get the hang of it.)

I remember Tony Blair being on vacation when a airplane went down near where he was on vacation.

...British Prime Minister Tony Blair and his family were vacationing in Sharm el-Sheikh, according to a 10 Downing Street spokesman...

Update



1st plane sent out a SOS signal (not a hijacking signal) the first plane crashed (it did not break up in mid-air). The radar signals from the two planes were lost within 4 minutes of each other. The second plane broke up in mid-air. Bad weather was reported in both areas when both plane radar signals was lost.

Putin had better wake up and smell the coffee. He has been aiding the islam-a-nazies in Iran and they are sworn to kill him and any other person that they consider infidels.

Does that really make sense? How would a hijacker know the location where Putin is staying or be able to locate it from the air?

It makes no sense at all in my opinion.

It seems that is was not a secret that Putin has a home there and that he was on holiday. The public knew this...The Kremlin’s Choice for Chechnya - 23 August 2004

During the short visit--state news agencies reported that Putin arrived in Tsentoroi around 7:30 a.m. and was back at his Black Sea holiday residence near Sochi, where he has been for a week, by 11 a.m.--Putin’s comments were broadcast on state television. "We lost a sincere, manly, talented, and exceptionally decent person,” he said of Kadyrov. “He had no aim other than to serve his people.”

Do a Google picture search for Sochi and you will see it would not be that hard to down a plane in Sochi.

Here is one from August 22nd letting the world know Putin was in Sochi.

Putin visits war-torn Chechnya

Putin is on holiday in the Black Sea resort of Sochi in southern Russia, where he later met Chechen Interior Minister Alu Alkhanov, the favourite to win next Sunday's presidential election, and Kadyrov's son Ramzan, Chechnya's vice-premier with responsibility for security.

Google Search - Putin Sochi Holiday results, go to the 5th and 6th page, it looks like he spends a lot of time there - it reminds me of Camp David

There is nothing wrong with a conscript army: the Israeli's and South Koreans do quite well with their own and don't have the feminization problems we have.

don't mess with Putin...............


Russia still has very strong capitalist interests (that Putin must cater to) who will sell Iran and other Mohammedans any damn thing they want outside of actual nuclear bombs.

Officials speculate Atta may have been in New York on September 10 to make a final visit to the World Trade Center to program the towers' location into a global positioning system, the source said.

I'd be willing to bet the Russians on board took these hijackers into the ground, just like in Pennsylvania.

I remember Tony Blair being on vacation when a airplane went down near where he was on vacation. Remember Al-Q saying they were going to kill some world leader before we had our elections in the USA?

This website is now shut down, BUT ..... NOT before I had saved their pic:


Huh ? What in the world is this?
Click here or on the pic to
see al-Qaeda et al at 'work'
WARNING!: Not for the queasy!
(Nevermind! This site's been shut down!)


That was a site that had posted pics of the 4 U.S. soldiers/contractors in Fallujah that got so much publicity. That website was celebrating about that. The above pic I saved to my desktop before the website was removed (I added the names/captions for clarity).

Who'd be surprised by ANYTHING al-Qaeda might try now ? Not me.

Just another isolated incident. They should check the fuel tank.
