[ORDagnabbit]

1. trying to figure out what went wrong in dallas?

[Hugabear]

4. Something obviously went wrong with their plan

Something's going on.

[BadgerKid]

24. If others can't get the job done right...

do it yourself. :yoiks:

:scared:

[unkachuck]

62. did cheney bring his shotgun?

....was Obama going to be in a motorcade?

[Hugabear]

25. In that case, they shouldn't be sending Cheney

Just sayin'.

[ecstatic]

73. The hired "employees" got converted,,, unexpectedly

Yes we will!

[ecstatic]

72. That was precisely my thought LOL nt

[blm]

2. Preparing the next round of election fraud?

.

[AndyTiedye]

3. Was There Something That Was Supposed to Happen in Dallas Last Week That Didn't?

After ordering the weapons screeners at the Obama rally in Dallas to stand down,
nothing happened. Perhaps Darth wants to know why.

5. Fox can't get anything right

Air Force One is the name associated with any plane that the President is on, not the VP.

[itsrobert]

15. The plane the President flies in is Air Force 1, no matter if it's a prop plane or a jet

It's Air Force 2, if the plane is carrying the Vice President. It doesn't matter if he's using the plane routinely used for the President.

[damntexdem]

23. Oh, you folks who dwell in a world of facts!

Don't you realize that Faux News doesn't inhabit the same world you do?

[coalition_unwilling]

33. Fox makes its own reality and we just react to it (with apologies to

Ron Suskind and "The 1% Doctrine")

[sce56]

16. Finally the TRUTH from Fuax News "Cheney is the President!" Only the plane carrying the President is

called Air Force One!




If I Only Had a Brain!

[LiberalFighter]

47. Don't you know that Cheney is the President?

[Bunkie0913]

6. Could it be...

I remember hearing Rumsfeld had an office in Dallas complete with 7 taxpayer paid staffers. Maybe they are planning the next "cake walk" through Iran, Syria, Jordan?

[CGowen]

7. Visiting Halliburton? And why is he using Air Force One and not Two? n/t

[MrsBrady]

10. haliburton would be my guess, based in dallas n/t

[AnneD]

20. We have that dubious honour...

here in Houston:eyes:

[MrsBrady]

44. oops...

you are right....momentary lapse...sorry.

http://www.insidehighered.com/news/2008/02/25/smu
Maybe he's here for the Bush Library at SMU.
(I know, poor SMU. The Words "Bush" and "Library": oxymoron

or maybe to help with the Repuke Primary for next Tuesday?

Anyway...I wonder why the press doesn't bother to try to find out why he's here.
Oh yea, why would they bother asking questions.

[CGowen]

54. And what is this?

The board of the Halliburton Company, which is based in Dallas, approved the arrangements on July 20, five days before Gov. George W. Bush announced his selection of Mr. Cheney as his running mate

http://www.commondreams.org/headlines/081200-03.htm


Did they move?

[MrsBrady]

59. well, ok...now I am confused n/t

[AnneD]

69. History will help you with this...

Halliburton started out as a oil and gas equipment supply company (also with AMF Tube-scope). They have offices scattered about but they have always been a presence at the oil business center of the US-Houston Texas. They also have their world wide office in Dubai. Their share holders meetings the las few years in Houston have been well attended by non-share holders. You are misinformed.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halliburton

In a previous life I worked in the oil bidness-back when it was fun.

[AnneD]

68. Poor Methodists.....

our Bible Study group is fit to be tied. We have a definite liberal slant here. He has given us all a black eye.

[WhiteTara]

85. I thought they moved to Dubai

and that they were headquartered in Houston in the US,

[DS1]

8. all that fuel used to use that pair of fucks around

sad

[peacetalksforall]

56. A couple of years ago I heard it costs $11,000 an hour.

[kskiska]

9. They're probably looking to buy a house.

They lived there before the coup, when he very quickly decided to live in Wyoming because a president and VP can't be residents of the same state.

I don't know how many houses he needs. He's got an estate on the Maryland shore, a home in Wyoming, and there's one under construction in MacLean, VA.

[blayne]

14. I am sure there is one being built in Dubai as well.

[coalition_unwilling]

35. Don't forget the refuge of last resort . . . in Paraguay -n/t

[aggiesal]

32. You can have a Pres. and VP from the same state,...

there is nothing to stop that from happening.

But, if both are, then the states Electoral Votes can't be
used from that state if the Pres & VP candidates from that
state win. If the opponents win, then the Electoral Votes
would count for the opponents.

Since King George and Darth, needed the Texas Electoral Votes
Darth had to officially move out of Texas.

[Yupster]

83. Actually the electors

must vote for one person outside their home state.

So let's say that in 2000 Cheney had been ruled to have lived in Texas.

The Texas electors would vote for Bush for president and he would have won same as he did (or didn't?)

The Texas electors would not be able to vote for Cheney. They would have voted for (?) Nancy Reagan.

Joe Lieberman would have had the most electoral votes for vice-president but not the majority. Therefore the senate would have had to choose the VP from the top two electoral vote winners.

I think the Republicans had a majority in the senate in 2000 so Cheney would have been VP anyway.

[Scooter24]

50. I know...I don't live far from from his old house.

I wouldn't be surprised to learn that he was here scoping out properties. There are a few homes nearby that are listed in the $8 Million-plus range. I will have to ask the nieghbors to see if they know anything.

God help me. :(

[ixion]

11. gee, do Cheney/Bush and their gang of thugs have to remove their shoes before boarding?

are they allowed to take toiletries with them? Or do they get confiscated as well? Do they have to go through the humiliating BS that MOST Americans have to go through before flying?

No. :grr: :argh:

But they're very happy that we do. :argh: :grr:

[fed-up]

12. JFK files? nt

[Horse with no Name]

38. Hmmmm Could be. n/t

[David Zephyr]

13. 1.) The Cheneys? 2.) Air Force One? 3.) Dallas? 4.) Undisclosed reasons? = Creepy as an Orange Alert

?

[olddad56]

51. Never misunderestimate the creepiness.

[bdamomma]

17. what undisclosed reasons????

is Obama still in Texas?

[Horse with no Name]

39. So are Hillary and Bill. n/t

[pattmarty]

18. The lone star state is going to secede from the US and .............

........... Cheney will be president and GW will be vice-president??????

[efhmc]

28. If we became a Republic again, no non Texans would be

allowed to have office and that means both of those carpetbagging jerks.

[AnneD]

70. Here, here...

nothing like a tall tree and a short rope-at least that is what they did with thieves. Dispensing justice Ranger style.

[efhmc]

76. No one would ever even have heard of those no character creeps, if

we had the Texans I knew growing up in charge of things.

[AnneD]

81. Same here...

they are Faux Texans. You can tell by the Bush's "ranch" (sans horses) and Cheney's "hunting". Both are what most of my folks would call candy-assed cowboys.
The characters out of Lonsome Dove were not to far off the mark.

[ReformedChris]

19. Air Force 1? Glad Faux knows who the REAL POTUS is. Sounds suspicious to me..

I wonder what Cheney had to look into in Dallas.. Could it be that he needs to recharge his Cybernetic Batteries for the last couple of months as Robot VP? Helping Georgie Boy look for the right spot for his Presidential Outhouse ERR Library? JFK Files? How my conspiracy tastebuds water :-D

[damntexdem]

21. Wow, and I didn't even notice the dark clouds on the southern horizon.

Why AF One? Couldn't Darth have flown in in his personal Tai fighter?

[leveymg]

22. Probably looking for office space. This place is vacant, and he'd like it here:

[coalition_unwilling]

36. A real value with its close-by grassy knoll -n/t

[leveymg]

49. And, quaint touches - windows that still open and close.

What a luxury, particularly on those late Fall days when the air in Dallas isn't a boiling hydrocarbon soup.

[trogdor]

82. Or the Ides of March

[IsItJustMe]

52. LOL good one.

[gateley]

26. SELF DELETE - already been asked several times. nt

[AnnieBW]

27. probably issuing last-minute instructions

on how to rig the voting machines.

[leftofcool]

29. I bet he went hunting! n/t

[Rosa Luxemburg]

48. on taxpayers' money!!!!

[leftofcool]

71. of course

you don't think he is going to spend his Halliburton millions do ya?

Left of Cool

[Megahurtz]

30. That's scary. n/t

[Harry Monroe]

31. It's not "Air Force One"

"Air Force One" is simply a call sign for any aircraft the President may be on . Therefore anything Cheney flew to Dallas would be "Air Force Two", since that is the call sign for any aircraft Darth may be on, even if it is the President's 747.

Or perhaps he uses the "Air Force One" call sign because we know who is the real power behind the throne.

Maybe we'll get lucky and history will repeat itself. He could take a limo ride in Dealy Plaza past the Texas School Book Depository. One can wish, can't he??

[Mountainman]

34. Well technically you are right but since Bush is Cheney's sock puppet ..............................

:think:

[idovoodoo]

42. Technically it isn't the "president's" 747...it is OURS - we allow him to use it.

(Way too much, IMO)
;-)

[Horse with no Name]

37. I thought it was awfully hot in Texas today

I guess that is what happens when the gates of Hell opens and Lucifer himself steps out of the fiery pit.:D

[MrsBrady]

45. hot? wait till August lol n/t

[Horse with no Name]

40. Odd little tidbit that I happen to know--strictly because I happen to know someone

That is all I will say.
But one of Musharraf's cousins lives in the Dallas area (Plano specifically) and Musharraf visits there pretty regularly.

[MrsBrady]

46. wow, really? n/t

[peacetalksforall]

57. So is A Q Khan there also?

[Torn_Scorned_Ignored]

41. didn't Gonzo make a mysterious visit

to Dallas too?

Maybe Dick had some follow-up details.

[lonestarnot]

43. Damn! I hope Senators Obama and Clinton have beefed up security!

[superconnected]

53. It'd be too obvious if he met the ceo of diebold in OH, so he told him to meet him in TX.

But I don't doubt there was a meeting with Haliburton while he was home

[murielm99]

55. Someone mentioned a lot of helicopters

hovering around the White House today. Could this be why? Was Darth returning to the White House?

[JPZenger]

58. He had his blood changed

[MrsBrady]

60. he has no blood

if you open him up inside, you will only find wires and circuits

[Ewellian]

61. greeting the visitors?

http://www.stephenvillelights.com/


:7

[Xenotime]

63. What the hell?!? Texas is getting weird.

[kelligesq]

64. Nixon

left Dallas the morning JFK was a__sinat_d

just sayin

[catgirl]

65. Bill Clinton will be in Dallas on 2/26

maybe they have some business to discuss?

[Doctor_J]

66. He took his wife instead of his mistress this time

Did he bring his shotgun?

[mwb970]

67. Is Dealy Plaza still there?

Perhaps a motorcade could be arranged for the Dick.

[Solly Mack]

74. He went to Fort Hood

and then went to a "private reception" for Sen. John Cornyn (on Tuesday)


http://www.kwtx.com/home/headlines/15955927.html

[Venus Dog]

75. Ft Hood is no where near Dallas

It's in Killeen, just outside of Austin. Why would he land in Dallas to go to Ft Hood first on a 2 day visit where he supposedly was on Monday, then to see Cornyn (R-POS)who (IIRC) lives in San Antonio (2 hrs south of Austin) on Tues? This landing in Dallas makes no sense. He would have flown directly into Ft Hood or at least Austin or San Antonio.

[Peregrine Took]

77. Baylor has a cardiology center in Dallas.

[paparush]

78. Making sure the NAFTA Texax Corridor stays on track despite protests by the commoners.

The locals (hundreds of thousands of people) are protesting having their land taken away to construct toll roads owned and managed by foreign corporations.

[CGowen]

79. good old Bilderberg Perry n/t

[Ilsa]

80. Mansion shopping, no doubt.

Have to stay close to W to make sure he doesn't open his big mouth during a raging, drunken stupor. And I wouldn't be surprised if Hal extended an invitation for him to return.

[WhiteTara]

84. what's he doing on AF ONE?

I thought his plane was AF TWO I guess we have no lingering doubts as to his actual title.
