For Sale: The Next Pearl Harbor
Much too sinister for most of the general population to even consider, but could the sale of the ports to the UAE facilitate the kind of tragedy that would pre-empt a 2008 Presidential election? For a pResident who might otherwise be on his way out, who seems to carry out an agenda without regard to political support, who is emboldened by threats and Terra-ism against the country, a "Pearl Harbor-like event" might be just what he needs to cement his agenda for years to come. It would take top-secret deals with the Saudi's and would cost many American lives--a familiar storyline--but could something like this happen?

1. Nothing is too unbelievable for this regime.
I will wear your tin foil hat for a while here.

These monsters are capable of some of the most unimaginable things. They are far worse than Nixon or Saddam or even Hitler.

3. First thing I thought of when I heard about the ports
This opens all kinds of doors for some major attacks.
It sucks to think like this, but it has become normal
with this bunch.

4. So true!
Edited on Mon Feb-20-06 09:24 PM by celestia671
Late last night, we had a power outage. There wasn't a storm or high winds, so I'm not sure why. However, one not so crazy thought that went thru my mind were the maniacs in charge orchestrating an attack on our electrical grids and blaming it on Iranian 'terraists'.

Many things we never thought would happen are happening and it could get worse, lots worse.

Edited to put on some tinfoil!

6. Unfortunately, there is not tongue-in-cheek icon for my post.
But I think people get the idea. What's sick is that this is an intuitive reaction for DU people who know what's going on.

7. The more unbelievable the * Cabals actions appear....
the more I believe that they would do it.

I am a huge military fiction and non-fiction reader and in my mind anything is possible!!

5. Cause and Effect?..
Who benefits? What goes up must come down. For every action....my brain is leaking again....it happens when the bullshit barometer gets overloaded, and that happens when non-sensical, illogical, and disconnected events parade before my eyes. In the meantime, the reality and truth I so love to feast my eyes on, becomes a memory of another time. The worst part of all is that nothing, nothing, outside of my little world has any credibility, so I can not even whisper an opinion on events so many appear so incredibly convinced of.
