Operating from your personal experience of having a room temperature IQ, I see.

I guess you don't care if your computer gets a virus, do you?

Would the virus be more or less annoying than your posts?

Except maybe his family's lives (and maybe his reserved penthouse in The Village?). Also, don't forget one of his prison doctors was MK-ULTRA vet Jolyn West. The good doctor could have been helping out with his script.

Can you at least post a pic of Mr. Colicos as Baltar?

That's getting pretty far out. EVERYONE who saw McVeigh had the same response: this guy is in full control of what he wants to do, and has no remorse. Heck, even his little poem about "captain of my ship" indicated that. No, access to one former military shrink doesn't constitute evidence that McVeigh was coerced in my book.

[Wm Bach]

In short, the two people with the most to gain by having a foreign involvement, and the two with the most to lose by being the sole culprits, have both rejected the notion that anyone else was involved.

And yet one of those two people, portrayed by the government as a right wing, white supremecist, militia-type, penned an eloquent defense of Iraq as his swan song.

Consider then that he may have been protecting "others unkown" rather than being a rat because he truly sypathized with the Iraqi cause, as his own words would indicate. "Lily White" may have also been protecting his sister from suffering retribution, should he have outed the identies of his handlers.

It's the least I can do ;)

Oh, yeah, I forgot... I didn't see Rumsfeld drag Army rangers through the streets of Mogadishu. I didn't see Condi Rice torturing US fighter pilots or patting little hostage kids on the head in front of the camera. I didn't see Dick Cheney pilot a plane into the WTC. I didn't see a boatload of Americans pilot a small boat into the USS Cole, or attempt to sink the USS Sullivans. It wasn't an American diplomat who drove a truck bomb into the US embassy in Kenya. Nor did a CIA agent drive one into our embassy in Tanzania. It wasn't the Fish & Wildlife Service which was caught trying to peddle weapons grade material with little samples to try out over there in Europe. It wasn't American officials who planted the dirty bomb in Moscow that was found. It wasn't some NSA official who dug the tunnel under the US embassy in Rome. It wasn't an American officer that met with Atta and two hijackers in Prague. It wasn't an American delegation of government workers that holed up in the church in Jerusalem. Those weren't Americans marines who were caught trying to assassinate Bush in Kuwait. Those weren't Americans who invaded Kuwait and pumped oil into the Persian Gulf or who bombed places in Indonesia and the Phillipines. It wasn't American officials who were involved in the WTC 1 bombing or the Millenium plots.

I forget, we're supposed to believe that American officials always lie but people who run countries like slaughterhouses are always to be given the benefit of the doubt.

There are crooks in every culture, but we know about ours because of the press and free flow of info, while the thugs in Iraq, North Korea, and Zimbabwe control their press and have the sympathies of our media to boot. Evil is always defended by the age-old assertions of the pacifists, who close their eyes and repeat to themselves, "America bad, everyone else is good," no matter how many Americans or other people get killed by those they protect, or get killed because terrorists were emboldened to do as they pleased by our apparent weakness and inaction.

Cool! Thanks!!!!

I am partial to the BSG-TSC shot, but the Imperious Leader Baltar shot will do nicely!!!

Thankfully, no one seems to have the shot of Baltar wearing the ridiculous Cylon Flight Helmet thing...

[twigs]

since the Iraqis involved all seem to be among the thousands of Republican Guard members Poppy Bush moved to Oklahoma (and Nebraska) after the Gulf War.

[Lord_Baltar]

BTW, it looks like Michael Ironsides is going to be playing Baltar in the new Sci-Fi channel "reimaging" of Galactica, so I'll have to update with that one...

My posts are not annoying. Your manifest inability to get two of your own neurons to fire in a coordinated fashion is extremely annoying.

Suggestion: if you don't like getting flamed over being a public kisser of Saddam's dorsal vent, then go hang out at DU. Your temper tantrums generally say more about you than those you target, anyway.

[Lord_Baltar]

Ah Pooh, what are you babbling about?

Had you bothered to really read my posts here, which, unfortunetly, you didn't, you would have seen that your typical Knee Jerk reaction to most things was completely unwarranted.

However, since your sense of humor has obviously been blocked by your serious need of Fiber in your diet I'll cut you some slack...

I must say, in all seriousness, I hope they look into Saddam's connections to other things as well. How do we know that Iceberg that sunk the Titanic wasn't an Iraqi plot. Or how about that strange explosion of the Hindenburg, that looked an awful lot like a terrorist bomb.

Your sarcasm misses the mark.

While it may provide some humor for those who support Hussein over Bush in this arena, it does nothing to refute any of the INFORMATION laid out by this well written story.

Do you plan to acquire and reveal any INFORMATION which may support your intimation that Hussein is NOT tied to these events, or do you plan to continue dancing around on these threads like court jester, attempting to squelch serious discussion of these subjects?

[Lord_Baltar]

Oh, I must have missed the rules regarding "No Humor" and only a pucker faced approach to posting...

Geez, get a grip

Nothing requires you to take these threads seriously, but then again, nothing requires us to take you seriously.
