The odd beauty of forcing the UAE port deal down out throats...

[Lerkfish]

means that another MIHOP can be pointed DIRECTLY to them, this time.

If they attempt any sort of MIHOP or LIHOP to justify invading Iran, we can raise the issue of this deal and accuse them of allowing our security to be compromised. What defense or argument could they have against it?
Since there is NO OVERSIGHT, there is no way to DISPROVE the weapon was smuggled in by UAE.

sorry, just trying find a silver lining in this mound of crap, somewhere

1. They're like American embassies in the middle east.

Targets.

2. A excuse for a new front in the war on terra is hardly a sliver lining!

3. You are so right!

4. Call me paranoid -- and Gods(!) I hope you're right...

... but wouldn't another "event" justify the imposition of Martial Law?
MMSince the murder of nearly 4 THOUSAND of our own fellows didn't trigger a nationwide demand for the heads of "all them murderin' Ay-Rabbs" (except, note, within the "holy" confines of John C Hagee's Cornerstone Church, where the total annihilation of "Anti-God" Islam is promoted as a central article of Christian faith!), another, larger, "event" -- more dramatic, with much greater "collateral damage" (or, perhaps, the killing of more "innocents") -- would seem to be required to accomplish the "holy" task of whipping Americans into a messianic frenzy of support for the total annihilation of Islam.
MMSomeone PLEASE convince me that this mindset does not really exist! I'd rather be mad than continue to consider this possibility as even remotely credible

MMBTW, please excuse the apparent ignorance, but MIHOP? LIHOP? :shrug: I'm not familiar with those acros. :blush:

5. 911 was Made To Happen On Purpose (MIHOP) or else Bushco

Let It Happen On Purpose (LIHOP) after all the CIA and Able Danger and foreign secret service warnings about the terrorist plans to use a plane to crash into American buildings and I think the Able Danger warnings were more specific and Congressman Curt Weldon is still trying to get authorization for the Able Danger agents to testify to Congress about their knowledge and attempts to get the Bush misadministration to stop 911. Weldon is currently trying to get authorization for Able Danger to testify in closed secret sessions of Congress but Bushco and Repukes are blocking it. Don't know what happened to the news stories on this two weeks or so ago. Weldon has tried in the past to get the very important Able Danger testimony to Congress.

Sibyl Edmonds has a petition on her site to get her 911 testimony unredacted. Please sign at http://www.JustACitizen.com/ She has other important information on her govt Whistleblower protection group with quotes from Russell Tice NSA potential whistleblower if Congress will let him testify in closed session about the OTHER top secret NSA Spying and maybe something worse on the American people.
