Does The UAE Port Deal Make LIHOP\MIHOP Even More Plausible ???
Most in this country are thinkin to themselves, "Why the hell are they doing this? Don't they know we are in a War on Terrorism after 9-11?"

Well... not if the Bushies know they we really aren't.

They got their Reichstag/Pearl Harbor, they got their stolen elections, they got their wars, and now it's time to rake in the bucks.

Or is my hat just a bit too tight? :tinfoilhat:

:shrug:

BTW - Check out Mike Malloy tonight! All about 9-11.

2. Absolutely.
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 06:47 PM by silverweb
And for LIHOPers like me, it makes MIHOP seem a whole lot more likely.

Pure and simple: TREASON.

3. the only thing that made me think it was NOT a LIHOP connection..
is that all of the ports are on the east coast. I was kinda expecting LIHOP2 to be out west for some reason

21. They just moved Central Command to Denver. Baltimore has a high %
of poor people so it might be expendable.

30. Or 9-11. These guys don't care that probably several hundred thousand Iraq
have been killed. They do not care about human life unless it is an unwanted fetus.

5. You are correct, IMHO.
It goes right along with their plan.

It sure must be confusing to those who do not know what we have known for the past several years!

This offers a great opportunity to educate others who have been 'in the dark'.

8. After a long heated debate with an apathetic Repug today
Edited on Wed Feb-22-06 06:58 PM by peanutbrittle
His apathetic view is "It's been this way for years, people need to read their history...this is no different from WW1 and WW2 (this is his answer for every issue)

I set the bottom line with him by saying this:

"You want history, I'll give you some history......The Bush Family has been dealing with the enemy since Prescott Bush was playing both sides of the war with the Rothchilds. This is Modus Operandi for this crime syndicate. The Bush Crime syndicate, the Carlyle Group and the Bin Ladens have a business venture together in this war. That is it, Bottom line, no more discussion."

He quieted up pretty quick....steam rolling out of his ears.

9. There's nothing wrong with your hat.
Just cinch that chinstrap down good--we're in for a bumpy MIHOP ride.

Those traitorous fuckin' thugs should be lined up in front of a firing squad.



And the :dunce: says he likes to read history . . . BULLSHIT!!!

15. Puffy McMoonface lied, very very little is inspected -LIAR FOR HIRE
They are union busting and scraping off any meat from the skeleton of living wage jobs.

The truckers aren't checked out when they hook a container. But the folks who work there everyday are just about harassed -they're checked all the time.

Some containers are blessed by a magic wand/sniffer. But plastic explosive and most stuff isn't ever looked for.

Scotty MucMellon lies when he says 100% is checked. Are we supposed to trust that tarrists will fill out their bill of lading honestly? Are we supposed to trust this pathological liar for hire?

19. No. This port thing is WAY overblown. Lots of US ports are under foreign
control. I'm happy about the political damage this is doing to Bush but to say this port thing is at all extraordinary really is going a bit far.

31. Yes, But...
...are their ports being controlled by terrorism-supporting countries? This is why Bush's excuse didn't work with me. He complained that the UK could control ports, but the UAE couldn't. Well, the UK isn't bankrolling terrorism, but the UAE does. Enough said.

33. Ah Caution... You've Earned Your Name Well Amigo, But...
while the actual nuts and bolts of this deal may have been over-blown, the gigantic pinata that's been created is so easily whacked, no???

You expect Americans to think logically over THIS...

:shrug:

That ship left its American Port long ago.

20. Yes, 100%
There is no threat through the ports from the UAE because they don't need the ports. Bushco can let co-conspirators in any door he wants to like he did last time. He's probably smuggling some over the Mexican border now.

22. No, Your Hat Isn't Too Tight
LIHOP is a very likely scenario. Even if not all in government knew about it in advance, there was enough smoke to have been fire somewhere. Especially the stand down of NORAD fighters. All the information that was out there about possible hijackings beforehand.

So, when you consider that 2 or 3 of the alleged hijackers (alleged because we have no bodies, no mention of them on the manifests, etc) came from UAE, and this is a UAE company, I think we have to be suspicious of the money and power behind this deal.

28. Unfortunately, Yes
The evidence is really piling up. I wish it weren't so, because if this is all really true, this means that our President committed treason. What a scary thought. And think of how devastated people in this country would be if they found out their own President was really their enemy. But if it is true, it all needs to come out. It's better to deal with truth than with lies.

32. With this administration,
I don't think you can wear the hat too tight. Blue state ports are expendable just like New Orleans was, just like New York was. And if there is a terrorist attack, Roves media pigs will lie about the fault being with local authorities. Just as they lied about Clinton being responsible for 9-11. Governor Blanco being responsible for Katrina. They will lie about the dirty bomb as well. And the ditto-monkey sheep shit eaters will lap it right up as they always do.
