Bush Assassination Plot In Philippines
Bush Assassination Plot In Philippines

http://feeds.bignewsnetwork.com/?sid=bb4ff02de454b2ce

The communist New People's Army in the Philippines has reportedly assigned 50 highly trained troops in Manila to assassinate President George Bush, next month.

The Manila Times reported unidentified sources saying the NPA has been establishing an intelligence network, to gain information about Bush's eight-hour visit to Manila on Oct. 18.

The newspaper said it learned the guerrillas tasked to carry out the assassination are all marksmen who have undergone extensive training in Southern Luzon.


..more....

Oh Know Poor President Bush! The Republicans are gonna eat this up!

9. Don't know that it's crap.
Kinda like when you are in the military it is a forgone conclusion that the KGB used to have a file on you, it is a pretty good assumption that every President these days has at least one group plotting his assassination.

7. People who just disagree with him can't get near him!
But then, if there is no plot to kill him, Karl Rove might make one up...something like the tale we were fed back on 9/11 about the threat to Air Force One, fer'instnce....

10. So let me get this straight, to be completely clear:
Bunker boy and his crowd go around 24/7/365 urging the killing of Saddam Who, Bin Forgotton & Yassir Arrafat, & countless others that don't march in lock-step with him, or benefit him or his crowd in some fashion (usually financially), actually succeed in killing Saddams's sons, grandchildren & maybe his daughters-in-law, numerous journaltists, let alone countless others innocent Iraqis - and now some see something wrong in other persons around the world wanting the same for him and his bunch of criminals?

Can you spell D-O-U-B-L-E--S-T-A-N-D-A-R-D?

Can you spell H-Y-P-O-C-R-I-C-Y?

What goes around comes around. You reap what you sow.

It would be unfortunate to make bunker boy or anyone in his inner circle of cronies a martyr.

And besides, these are just the ones we are allowed to hear about. I am sure there are so many threats against this miserable excuse for a human being that that is why he hasn't/won't go near anything but controlled and thoroughly screened groups of syncophants.

Now, having said all of the above, I should care, why?

12. Will this raise
the Homeland Security color to red?

With *'s lack of foreign diplomacy, much less his lack of understanding Foreign Policy or where the Philippines are located on the globe, he should be feeling pretty comfortable in his cocooned world since there are so many in his administration who will take the bullet for him.
Maybe. :tinfoilhat:

14. Rovian plot for sympathy or not
this can NEVER be allowed to happen. At this point, I believe this the only thing that could raise his poll numbers. Cheerist, they would start carving his face on Rushmore before all his blue blood was drained out by the embalmer. Look at Reagan, he was in the toilet when Neil Bush's good friend's brother shot him. Hey!
:shrug:

15. bullshit. Bush has been the biggest boon to terrorism ever
Bush is singlehandedly bringing down this country and fostering terrorist cells the globe over. Bush is actually aiding terrorism through his inept "war on terror". Terrorists want him alive. He is a convenient enemy.

17. Maybe they are still hacked off about what our own General Lansdale
did to them, in "psywar" ways, back in the l950's:

(snip) Lansdale believed in psyops or psychological operations and honed his skills here in the Philippines, where he served as the chief operative of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in the early 1950s, working with the Philippine government's campaign against Huk rebels in Pampanga and other Central Luzon provinces.

In his memoirs, Lansdale wrote: "To the superstitious, the Huk battleground was a haunted place filled with ghosts and eerie creatures." One of his favorite psywar stunts was to plant stories among local residents that the Huk areas were infected by vampire-like "aswang." After spreading these tales, they would ambush a Huk patrol, silently snatching the last man in the group, killing him and puncturing his neck with two holes. The victim would then be hauled up by his heels and drained of blood. The corpse would be left on the trail and, when discovered by his comrades, rumors would spread rapidly about an aswang attack, demoralizing the Huk squadrons.

Another Lansdale psywar tactic was what he called the "eye of God," where government troops would identify villages known to be sympathetic to the Huks. At night the psywar teams would creep into town and paint an eye on walls facing the houses of suspected sympathizers. The notion of an all-seeing malevolent eye was supposed to have been "sharply sobering."

Lansdale's Philippine adventures apparently impressed the American military establishment, who then asked him to design similar plans for Vietnam. (snip/...)

Brig. Gen. Lansdale


For more reading, look up "Operation Mongoose," a plot with many parts against Cuba devised by Lansdale! He was truly a guy with too much time on his hands.
