Between the Neo-Cons , the False Flags and the Dog wagging |
|
and the various agencies, I believe this lonely confused Nigerian Preppie was well set up. Word is that he didn't even have all the chemicals necessary for an explosion.
Notice how the preemptive war spinmeisters were out early on Sunday morning. Now they're screaming that Obama's response is not belligerent enough.

3. Do you have any evidence to support your claim? |
|
And the sudden appearance of conservative bashers of obama isn't evidence - those people are always around and the Sunday morning shows have them on speed dial.

No evidence of anything. Using the term "false flag" is the epitome of being crazy.

6. Agreed, or at least anyone w/the wherewithal to understand the phony war would question the validity |
|
Bear in mind though that if you personally can't answer every question the naysayers have as to who/what/where/when/why you'll of course be promptly and dutifully attacked and ridiculed. The idea being, if a random poster at this forum doesn't know everything, than that fact alone by default relegates any suspicion enough for crusading naysayers to disavow the notion entirely as 'proof' of it being inaccurate.

It could be justifiably seen as just random speculation without anything substantive to back it up.

Which is in fact just random speculation without anything substantive to back it up. That's what Faux news does and I don't buy it from them either.

And is what the OP has in common with Faux. Whether you like it or not.

30. If there were "links," you'd simply dismiss the sources. Do you realize how many 'theories' begin w/ |
|
speculation, btw? ...likely many you take for granted every day w/o being cognizant of it. And no one but personality types like yourself would generally equate speculation w/FOX "news," which you don't do b/c it has any merit, but b/c you seek to malign those who espouse unfavorable (to you) views.

I genuinely want to see them and find out what they talking about, that's why I asked for them in post #1. Your speculation about my "personality type" shows just how good you are at making shit up, too.

Saying that you think for yourself that I buy RW speculation shows how shallow your thought processes are, nothing else.

23. DU has a better track record than Fox. |

Plus the Beckerheads tend to copy our LW conspiracy theories from the Bush era and recycle them with a RW spin. Plenty of our conspiracy theories turned out to be conspiracy facts.

37. It's from hours and hours every day |

for 8 years of following the war on terror closely. You get a feel for how these stories play out, how the information released is staggered, what information makes it to the MSM headlines and what information appears years later in obscure govt reports.
Long-time DUers will know what I'm talking about.

Doesn't give the OP any excuse for throwing around very vague speculation without anything to back it up.
I've been following geopolitics for 22 years (since I was 18) and like to have something I can get my teeth into instead of swallowing vapid conclusions which don't define what is actually being said.

whether you see mistakes during the Bush era as "incompetence" or deliberate negligence. If the former then we could debate examples and evidence back and forth forever without agreement.
Speculation on DU during the last 8 years about Abu Ghraib (and all the other examples I mentioned in a previous post) has generally tended towards calling it deliberate negligence or at least not believing the initial MSM or Bushco version of events.

14. These days, it wouldn't really surprise me. |

The Psy-Ops department of the imperial cabal is unleashing an unprecedented fury against the Obama administration. Setting up and helping to execute terrorist attacks wouldn't really be anything new or drastic to them.
