I don't think that we've been given the whole story about the United States cells either.

No, I don't think so either. The thing that worries me (and has for a while) is we're letting these American cells do as they please and the governuts are telling the sheeple there's nothing to see. Start kicking all visa holders out immediately and then start working on those homegrown terrorists.

They could be placed in a container with sealed barrier between the two that is designed to dissolve within a certain time frame, thus mixing the two. Suicide bomber/passenger takes out his cellphone 3-4 hours into the flight and BOOM.

Of curse it does. That was a slip of the fingers. I meant "of course" but perhaps it was Freudian.

But but but Michael Moore once said, ""There is no terrorist threat in this country. This is a lie. This is the biggest lie we've been told."

And it would be soooo kharma if Mikey were scheduled to fly on one of those flights. If so, bet he had to change his skivvies after that.

here's one for you..look at this post from the DU and tell me this guy isn't some sort of raving lunatic..

It makes sense that Bush and Blair timed this terra alert.

After more evaluation this does appear timed. This affair does not concern a terrorist attack. No attack has happened. This affair involves stopping a terrorist group. The authorities in Britain stopped the terrorist group. They have most of the people in custody.

Bush and Blair most likely communicated on this in secret. Bush could have leaned on Blair to release this terra alert right after the well publicized Lamont-Lieberman primary contest.

Then Bush could then use this to once again accuse another party of weakness on terra right after the primary to link this terra issue with elections! However most smart people realize that the Republicans failed to defend America on 9-11-2001 where 2750 people lost their lives because the Republicans appeared weak on national defense and terrorism.

How much money do universities make from middle eastern students? They will never revoke visas even though the perfect guise for a jihadist is as a student here. Too much money would be lost.

I don´t know why people are so surprised about these plots, Al Qaeda and Iran and Syria has been promising us a mkajor terror attack for the last couple of years. Just because they sound like a bunch of dip shits dosen´t mean they are not serious.

Yeah, but what do expect TSA to do? Tell women they can't bring formula or breastmilk on board?

Time to crank up the profiling.

some of them are undoubtedly in on some of the intended plans. Works both ways.

Good point and it wouldn't surprise me in the least.

I think one of the dots not being connected is Hugo Chavez's trip to N.Korea and Iran.

Can Iranian missiles reach the US mainland from Venezuela?

"Turks recaptured Jerusalem from the Crusaders on 23 August, 1244"

The Gregorian Calendar, which we go by, was not incorporated until 1582, so is 23 August date adjusted for the present calendar, or the "historic" date?

Maybe we could just pile them all into an airplane, set the auto pilot for Mecca and arrange for the cabing to depressurize soon after take off.

You don't know if they are stupid or nuts. Half of them didn't believe the terrorist plot was real. It was..."oh that was just made up." "The government just made that up to scare the sheep." What????

Last night ... My local radio guy had that dude from the Presbyterian church (I can't remember his name) on that wrote the conspiracy book about 9/11

And how it was all a plot made up by the Bush Administration

And when the radio guy asked about the plane that hit the Pentagon and where are the people that died on that plane

The Presbyterian dude (again, I can't remember his name)says .. they could have been killed some place else

He went on to say that there was no proof of calls being made from the plane

Then said that Ted Olsen allowed his wife to be killed .. so to push the Bush plot

I use to just laugh at these Bleeping Nuts cases

But they are truly unhinged and mentally deranged

Pretty sophisticated device there, McGiver! (chuckle).

I think I'll cease speculating before I give any lurking bad guys some ideas.

Plausability of 4 (out of 10). Just my assessemnt.
