“This is been hashed over a goodly number of times on FR. The facts are that it was difficult for Americans to get a visa, but not impossible. It was listed, IIRC, as “dangerous” for Americans to travel there. Also IIRC it was determined (can’t remember how) that Zero never had a US passport before he became a Senator. So if that is factual, what passport did he use before? A different name? From a different country? I don’t know.”
Thanks, sure, I’d like answers to all those questions too, mine, and the ones we both share. I’m sure I can be forgiven for not knowing everything that has been previously ‘hashed over’ here, not having unlimited time to spend on this site. And I’m sure I can be allowed my conditional statements using words like ‘supposedly’ by someone who uses ‘IIRC’ and ‘can’t remember how’.
I apologize if I was not very polite; this particular point has been brought up many, many times, and 0bots use it as a way of saying “Aha! You’re wrong, Americans traveling to Pakistan was NOT prohibited, so therefore everything else you say is wrong too!”
There are countless threads on the topic of Zero’s background, some with thousands of comments, and no one can be expected to have read each and every one of them and remembered it all. I started reading them obsessively as soon as they started appearing, but no doubt I missed plenty, and as far as remembering everything - ha, I wish I could remember more, but alas...
Especially I wish I could remember how it was determined that he had not had a US passport before being Senator. About travel being “dangerous”, I used “IIRC” because I am sure that was not the official description; maybe not advised or something similar. Maybe someone else reading the thread will remember better.
I don’t want anyone to feel reluctant to ask questions or make comments on these threads; I just want more info to get out there so more people understand the enigma in the WH.
