DOHA (AFP) - Damage to several undersea telecom cables that caused outages across the Middle East and Asia could have been an act of sabotage, the International Telecommunication Union said on Monday.

Exactly. If Islam wants to cut internet and telecom cables, if they do it then let their governments contract and pay for fixing them. If they won’t then fine. Leave em cut.

Everybody already knows that Bush had explosive charges secreted upon the cables at the time of deployment so as to further the cause of the global Cabal (who is responsible for solar system wide global warming amongst other nefarious schemes too numerous to list).

The question is? Did the order to cut the cable come from one of the missions at the U.N.?
