Told you all so!
So I guess Russia is still all gung-ho joyous about building nuclear programs and assets for Iran right about now huh?
Maybe Russia wasn't building Iran's nukes fast enough! What fools!
"The FSB security service said at least one of the almost simultaneous crashes was a "terrorist act".
And the other may have been what? a coincidence?
It never ceases to amaze, and anger, me the depth of contempt some governmental entities have for the intelligence level of the general populace.
The FSB says the traces of explosive were found amid the debris of the Tu-154, which was flying to the Black Sea resort of Sochi when it disappeared from radar shortly after the pilot pressed the SOS button.Condolences to the grieving Russians who are mourning the loss of siblings, parents, and children today.The same explosive, hexogen, was apparently used in a series of apartment bombings in 1999 that killed around 200 people.
I hope these terrorists are hunted down like the wild beasts they are.
I often wonder what the effect would be if, for every international terrorism tragedy, a mosque was erased somewhere. Blowing up an airliner with innocent men, women, and children is what used to be called "total war". If one recalls Hiroshima and Dresden, a mosque going up at an opportune time is not without precedent. If they want "jihad"... give it to them. They should understand that "jihad" does NOT translate as "holy war", it translates as "total war". The only kind winnable, or even fightable.
AGREED!
I can't beleive nobody has said it..."It's Bush's fault."
Like the Germans, the Rooskies will continue to sell Iran the nuclear know-how that will come back to haunt them.
This is what Russia gets for so closely aligning with the United States in the Iraq War. [/sarcasm]
Seriously, this is a tragedy for all those affected and they should be in our prayers.
Residue from a dog training exercise.
So, let me get this straight - an Islamic group sends 5 people on each plane (that makes 10 right)to commit suicide and they'll keep doing this until the senseless killings of their brothers in Chechen stops?
Yup. This was called by freepers pretty much immediately after the initial reports.
Furthermore, both planes left from the same airport, during the night. On the thread Tuesday night I ventured to posit it will be one man with access to both planes' luggage that will ultimately be found as the cause.
It is indeed heartening to see the effort that goes into seeing that government dogs everywhere are well trained.
Simultaneous center fuel tank explosions. Plus they must have been using those unreliable French carbon composite tails.
But were the explosives put on the planes by terrorists, or are there explosives on all Russian planes rigged so that the planes can be blown up remotely from the ground to thwart terrorists?
