I Can Conclude One Of Two Things From The UAE Port Deal....

[global1]

1. either *Co MIHOPed or LIHOPed 9/11 and knows that we are not under any real threat of terrorists hitting the U.S. soil.

or

2. they are planning on using the ports for the next 'planned' attack.

Why else would they let this deal go through? It just doesn't make sense.

[Richard D]

1. i'll go with

your first possibility. If the * evil empire allows the UAE into the ports, and then there is another "terrorist" attack via that avenue of entry, they simply will be cooked.

[Warren DeMontague]

4. They would only be cooked if the media bothered to shed any light on it.

If they need to, they'll find a way to blame the people they want to blame.. like, it was the people who wanted "Under God" taken out of the pledge, and Planned Parenthood that let it happen.

Deep Background

"In Washington it is hardly a secret that the same people in and around the administration who brought you Iraq are preparing to do the same for Iran.

The Pentagon, acting under instructions from Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, has tasked the United States Strategic Command (STRATCOM) with drawing up a contingency plan to be employed in response to another 9/11-type terrorist attack on the United States.

The plan includes a large-scale air assault on Iran employing both conventional and tactical nuclear weapons. Within Iran there are more than 450 major strategic targets, including numerous suspected nuclear-weapons-program development sites. Many of the targets are hardened or are deep underground and could not be taken out by conventional weapons, hence the nuclear option.

As in the case of Iraq, the response is not conditional on Iran actually being involved in the act of terrorism directed against the United States. Several senior Air Force officers involved in the planning are reportedly appalled at the implications of what they are doing—that Iran is being set up for an unprovoked nuclear attack—but no one is prepared to damage his career by posing any objections."

"Connecting the dots..." There was a poll "saying" a majority "would" support "bombing" Iran... (I saw it here: can't remember where exactly)

"In the year since the September 11 attacks, few more chilling documents have emerged than "Military Studies in the Jihad Against the Tyrants," a how-to terrorism manual that investigators believe has been used by followers of Osama bin Laden."

Is the (PNAC+MIHOP) cabal about to "fool" us again?

Sure looks like. :grr:

2. One and two could both be correct.

That makes the most sense, imho.

[laheina]

14. Yup.

one and two.

[chefgirl]

3. You read my mind

And, for the life of me, I cant decide which on my money is on....probably a little bit of both, really.

Greed drives these filthy pigs and greed comes in many forms. Financial greed as well as the lust for ever increasing power that seems to have unhinged so many of the BFEE.

The reason for the next attack would be to completely sieze power and never let go of the White House.
The reason for simply selling the ports would be purely financial.

Do they want one more than the other?? There's the real question.

7. "Filthy Pigs" is on the mark!

Peace.

[madrchsod]

5. number two with a bullet!

remember "sum of all fears" bad movie but it`s how "they" will do it..

[peacetalksforall]

6. It will be very interestng to see how Lott and Tweety and Lou pimp this.

To name three. Will O'Reilly scream his support? Will Tucker snap his bow?

[fooj]

8. I caught Lou last week. He's NOT pimping it.

He's pretty pissed, IMO.

Peace.

[Brothaman2k]

9. You pretty much summed up my thoughts.

10. What I am most astounded by...

...is the fact that this administration is a pack of wolves who no longer cares about what the people of this nation think.

Junior and friends knew exactly what would happen, once this information was made public. There is a direct connection between the UAE and 9/11. Our ports are vulnerable and the terrorists have flat-out stated that an attack on our ports is a possibility.

I've been wondering about "Why?" as well.

If #2 is correct, then the Republicans leave themselves open for dire consequences. If the port deal goes through and we are attacked due to this--then they can kiss the next 15 elections good-bye. I can't imagine that these powermongering psychopaths would orchestrate their own demise.

I'm thinking #1 might be more accurate--but with a twist. I think 9/11 was LIHOP--their recklessness enabled 9/11 to happen. They might be behaving the same way they did pre-9/11. They just don't care. They're too busy wiretapping Joe-six-pack, cutting programs for the poor, defending their scandals, trying to privatize Social Security--to care about the real issues. They don't even have their head in the game, because they don't give a shit about the American people. Look at Katrina. It's not that they want it to happen. It's that they don't worry their pretty little minds about the consequences of their greed.

Cheney's response to the shooting told me everything I need to know about their attitude toward us. We are chattel. They serve themselves and we are the pain-in-the-ass with which they must deal. We are a bothersome afterthought to these elitist, uber-wealthy, criminal thugs. They'll sell off control of our ports to terrorists--because they got a good deal and a bunch of them made a buck. That's as far as their thinking went.

Just my 2 cents...as I grow more weary of these parasites.

[bobbieinok]

12. so right THEY JUST DON'T CARE

[grasswire]

13. as Mary Matalin said...

...we're in a parallel universe.

[laheina]

15. And her's would be

the bizarro one.

[Art_from_Ark]

16. They've NEVER cared

about what the people of this nation think-- after all, this is the same group that went to the Supreme Court to STOP the counting of votes, and that brushed off pre-war protesters as "focus groups". :mad:

17. Carl Bernstein was on Larry King a few nights ago.

When King asked him what has happened to our country,Bernstein's response was, "Total and absolute corruption from top to bottom". He said that it is all about money. Mentioned that the congress is totally corrupt ect. It was good to hear someone call it like it is. He had much more to say. And Woodward sits there looking like the traitor wuss he is. I told a friend in 2001 that this bunch of thugs had utter contempt for us peasants. It was clearly evident to me then. Bernstein talked about the fact that we have zero representation by Congress.They have done everything to accomodate the BFEE. Now some of them are very nervous about retaining their seats hence the back pedaling. All of us know this.What a way to live, under this very black cloud. I feel there has not been one carefree day since these thugs took over.

[anitar1]

18. Just to add,SCOTUS justices can be impeached also,

If I am not mistaken.

[90-percent]

19. Bernstein on LK

Yeah, my wife tivo'ed it and we watched that yesterday.

Bernstein really let "them" have it. Said all politicians cater only to money and "the people" don't even have a seat at the table.

Spot on, I must say.

I don't consume very much MSM, so it was delightful hearing CB say such powerful stuff, as these things so obvious to all on DU are never mentioned in MSM. Totally VERBOTEN!!

If the dems get voted in en mass this Nov. there's gonna be so many people that are gonna get soooo impeached and criminally prosecuted! But that may not happen if the dem's continue to behave so castratedly.

21. Are you sure - what if the Leibermans win?

Leibermans = I'm not referring just to Leiberman and the Nelsons and Landrieau types.
I'm referring to some nebulous entity that Leiberman reports to and I'm not quite sure who/what it is - part Republican, part DLC??????? Those who are all talk, but their actions are against the people and includes those who frequently vote for horrible things for the votes it brings them or the money.

Let's face it - if we rely on people already in Congress who will do something like you say, we are left with a small group.

[peacetalksforall]

20. You're right, but does anyone know why they thought they could

succeed and win - i.e., how they thought we would lie down and accept it all? How could all those Congresspeople believe that they could/can pull this over on us? What bible have they subscribed to? Who is is that is succeeding in persuading them (both Houses) that they can succeed in ruling us for their personal and collective gain?

Who are the persuaders who convinced these people that we wouldn't figure it out?

Dean and Romero in the Townhall session this morning said it is the people who have to stop this.

[90-percent]

22. Good Points

As anybody that voted FOR the Patriot Act are against "the people".

Didn't the Pat act just get renewed by a 97% margin or something?

That this can happen and us sheeple don't even know about it shows how dismal things really are. Not that dems are the answer, but Repubs are going to get TROUNCED this Nov unless Rove comes up with something spectacular and brilliant. And if they try to pull off another 9/11 they're probably gonna get caught this time.
