A very interesting series of connections. However, politically it does not make sense for Obama to have a bunch of hostages taken to be traded for the blind Sheikh. If that scenario had happened he would have looked weak, not electable. I look forward to studying the links.
On a somewhat related conspiracy line, do you have any idea if there is something funny about Grover Norquist’s Muslim connections as has been reported here at FR? Having all Republicans sign a no tax pledge is a very effective way to completely snarl up our government, as we have seen.
Haven't researched this one, gleeaikin. Will put on the to do list.
On your first point, or first paragraph. I agree it would make zer0 look weak. The overriding thoughts from the zer0 crowd may have been the media will help us to spin out a win if it goes down the way as planned. I do not know if this was the plan, but zer0 would try something of this sort, of this I have no doubt, if he thought he could get away with it. Have no links to offer at this time, only speculation and observations. The thought of this being a possible plan (hostages taken to be traded for the blind Sheikh) is not mine, though with zer0 and zer0's saudi handlers, it is a possible explanation of a possible plan.
gleeaikin, have been reading and researching. So far am finding no connection to the Romney campaign by Grover Norquist other than the numerous connections mentioned by liberal reports and some minor worries from Conservatives regarding a tax pledge which was allegedly signed. Norquist is reported to not want increases to Military spending. Norquist wants the Military gutted, and has been criticizing Romney in relation to raising Military spending.
Norquist has connections to democRATs and appears to be one of their best friends. It is odd that democRATs are attempting to tie Norquist to Romney, in that they report it over and over. Like I typed, there are concerns from some Conservatives and Norquist is labeled (perhaps wrongly) a Republican lobbyist. I can see why the questions are being raised, but at this point, Norquist appears to have no connection to the Romney campaign but rather instead maybe is a democRAT plant to stir controversy.
There is one thing and one thing only our Constitution requires funding for. That one thing is defense. Norquist is against funding defense of our nation. He (Norquist) appears to be dangerous, though can find no information which leads me to believe Romney or any other Republican takes him seriously. On the matter of defense of our nation, Norquist sounds like a, dyed in the wool, liberal.
