>>““The detainee believed that significant damage to the U.S. economy would result and once it was realized that the fires were terrorist acts, U.S. citizens would put pressure on the U.S. government to change its policies,” the memo said.”<<
>Which is exactly why the government would lie to you and tell you that it is not terrorist related even if it were.<
Bingo! We have a winner here!
BLOATed is not a way that you feel, it’s an action you take...
2nd amendment that!
“So now someone associated with AQ goes from a terrorist to a mere associate...”
And while I’m bitching on that subject, the courts just annointed that very line of reasoning with their mis-trials yesteray. Idiots...the lot of them!
Reminds me of Spain's arson fires.
F.E.M.A. will not ask you where you want your tax dollars to go. Understood?
Post-Ramadan celebration week
The rains just killed the fires in Oregon a couple of weeks ago. During a TV interview an Oregon fire chief seemed a little too happy when he talked about heading to California. Also a lot of illegal aliens make good money on these fires.
Albeit an old discussion for us as to the bic lighter fighters I see this also as potentially creating need for construction of new homes maybe ?
Gee whiz.......where will one find that many forms of cheap labor in Kalipornia ?
Parking lot of Lowes or Home Depot maybe ?
“There was a case in Boston several years ago where firefighters were accused of arson, and I believe convicted. It was in the Readville section of town. I did a quick Google search without finding an affirmation of this item.”

Oh, I’m sure “some” wildfires have been set by firefighters. That’s a far cry from “a surprisingly large number” which is what the OP said.
Let's say you bought your house for $800,000 at the top of the market in 2004. It's now 2007 and it will sell for only $500,000 if offered. Your ARM is about to reset to a higher percentage rate. You can't make the mortgage payments at the higher rate. You owe more than the house is worth. You can't refi because refi's are harder to get and you no longer qualify. You can't sell because you would owe more than it would bring. However, your house is insured for fire damage for the full amount you bought it for -- $800,000. There are several fires in the surrounding area. What to do...?
Is it possible?
The only thing our government won't be able to hide from us and cover for islamofascist ass's will be a mushroom cloud. Mustn't call the ROP terrorist.
Maybe they didn't torch a third of the state, but took advantage of the already widespread fire situation to add a small area to it that would include their unoccupied investment property that has been on the market for a while now and will not sell. There doesn't have to be a widespread conspiracy to think someone might take advantage of the chaos around them to improve their situation a little bit.

Nope. And we call them murderers and put them in jail.
Maybe, just maybe, they'd learn that sort of thing would piss the vast majority of Americans off, rather than surrendering like they did in Spain... The change in policy? Sure, take "The Surge" and triple it!

Highly likely, IMO.
