If true... then: there isn't going to be enough tin foil left in all the whole, wide world to replace the metallic beanies that'll be going up in flames, en masse... :)
From The Boston Globe's (and New York Times') own wars against the War for Enduring Freedom.
This will probably bring out another set of 911-"like" families demanding millions of dollars from the government. The dems will jump all over this, "What did Bush know and when did he know it?" Pelosi already used up her incendiary insults. She risks being repetitive, but relatively speaking, that's probably her best trait.
On the one hand you have Al Qaeda telling us one thing - and the FAA of "TWA-800-Blew-Up-By-It's-Very-Own-Self" fame telling us another...
I had a flat the other day. Did they forget to take credit for that?
Who knows about AA-587.
What's more interesting is the Muslim body counts that pile-up from AQ "battles".
The Jakarta Marriot victims (killed and injured) were 95 percent Muslim cabbies and bellhops. In Bali, 90 percent of the several hundred injured (not killed) were locals (Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim). Several of the Saudi attacks have produced equally impressive Muslim body counts.
No shocker there. The plane separated both engines and the tail during takeoff. The Feds stated it was due to turbulence from the flight that left 2:45 minutes ahead of it.
First of all the turbulence after 2:45 minutes would be negligable. Secondly, separating both engines and the tail would not be a primary failure mode for a plane subject to turbulence.
I believe it.
Someone refresh my memory.
I cannot remember what the excuse was for this plane crash. Wasn't it something about a tail rudder?
I will go to my grave believing TWA 800 was brought down by terrorists.
I've been blaming them since I saw the fireball rise up.
Other events Al Qaeda is planning to take credit for:
1. Coordinating the attack on Pearl Harbor.
2. Setting the Reichstag fire.
3. Positioning the iceberg that sunk the Titanic.
And more recently:
Kidnapping and murdering Lacey Peterson.
There are further indications that Al Qaeda was also responsible for the botched plastic surgery on Michael Jackson's nose.
Al Qaeda is a very active group, and has been active for a long time.
And George Bush has known ALL of this, all along, but he DIDN'T TELL ANYBODY!
It's ALL BUSH'S FAULT!
FAA: "Yeah, we found out the pilot used the rudder...and uhh...yeah...there was also turbulence cuz a plane took off a couple minutes beforehand."
Airlines: "Well...when are you going to ground the fleet..and modify takeoff proce-
FAA: "Don' worry about it..it's all taken care of..
Airlines: "Yeah but...what do we DO? This could happen at any-
FAA: "I said FUGGEDABOUDIT...capiche?"
Hmmm... I don't think they had the technical know how.
It's taken this long for Al Qaeda to gloat over this one?
Did they say exactly how they achieved it?
I remain skeptical. After all, the plane was an old Airbus A-300 if I recall. Taking off in the wake of a 747-400, as I believe this plane was, could concievably have caused the sort of catastrophic airframe collapse which precipitated the crash.
The plane took off from JFK. At peak times they have takeoffs and landings there at a rate of about one a minute. An ageing piece of froggy garbage (the Airbus), especially if there was a maintenance fault, could be expected to fall out of the sky.
I don't believe Al Qaeda was behind this for a second.
As if there was any lingering doubt........ahem.........these vermin need to be exterminated: very quickly, very violently.
This 'crash' occurred around the time Shoebomber Reid was apprehended. Some say Reid's shoes didn't have enough explosive to do any serious damage. Others contradict that.
Remember that George Steffonofologologmotgosotous (sp) mentioned the "TWA 800 bombing" as he narrated the news events the morning of 9-11-01.
Remember that Muhammad and Malvo were supposed to be two white men in a white van.
If the real truth of all terrorist acts were known, we would find more than we have been told. Unless the truth can't be 'contained', we won't know.
Remember OKC/Murrah wasn't foreign terrorists, no matter how many Middle Eastern men were associated with McVeigh and Nichols. Those two acted alone (per the government and the 'Washington' fax to the field office (possibly sent by one Jamie Gorelick) that said, regarding any foreign connection, "kill it."
Not every bad event is foreign terrorism. But officials are always too quick to sweep that under the rug, too. People just want the truth, good or bad, not the deceptions.
No claim for TWA 800 or the EgyptAir flight over the Atlantic?
Thanks to the Al Qaeda publicists no future plane crashes will ever result from mechanical problems.
