What is going on?? It appears that a fifth undersea communications cable has been damaged. The latest...an estimated 1.7 million Internet users in the UAE have been affected by the recent undersea cable damage.
A total of five cables being operated by two submarine cable operators have been damaged with a fault in each. These are SeaMeWe-4 (South East Asia-Middle East-Western Europe-4) near Penang, Malaysia, the FLAG Europe-Asia near Alexandria, FLAG near the Dubai coast, FALCON near Bandar Abbas in Iran and SeaMeWe-4, also near Alexandria.

Suits me as long as the ragheads are the ones affected. Stops them from downloading their goat porn.

He was doing OK with a unique (to me at least) theory until he got to this line: "The question is whether Bush will realize that America
is already bogged down in two unwinnable conflicts or if he will go with his gut once again and lead us into a ruinous region-wide conflagration."
Guess he hasn't read the news about Iraq lately -- as in the last several months.
Re-read it with this line in mind and what I saw was a bunch of "Bush is EVIL, the dollar is EVIL, America's economy is DOOMED without the EVIL dollar tied to oil, the American EMPIRE is EVIL, they MUST be to blame" cr@p.
That said, the underlying point about the dollar being a real currency because it is tied to oil was interesting. In other words, we aren't on a gold standard anymore. We are on an oil standard. Bears some thought...

I’ve been wondering if it’s a group of unemployed offshored IT people with a rented submarine...

Pretty obvious it’s not random, it’s deliberate. So who?
Once we know who, we will probably know why.

That’s along the line of what I think about it. I cant help thinking that it’s some sort of Comm blackout for strategic suprise. I just dont know against who, or by who.
