or maybe you can but you shouldn't.

You can't claim that we're creating people who hate us and will attack us and then turn around and insist that every attack is a false flag engineered by the neocons.

1. Somebody saying that the crotch bomber was manufactured by the neocons?
I haven't seen it.:shrug:

I agree with you up to a point. For instance, the two Miami bombers that were recently tried and sentenced, they were manufactured. Granted, they followed a radical ideology, but they were essentially empowered by the FBI through funds, training and material to actually carry out their wishes. Without that material help, they would have gotten nowhere. I'm sure that this goes on around the globe to a greater or lesser extent.

7. I've seen it - several places.
Or that he was manipulated by right wingers so that they would have the excuse to go to war.

2. Thanks. That inconsistency is annoying, and becoming more prevalent.

5. Try it the other way round
Some attacks may have been false flag attacks, and we're creating people who hate us and will attack us. Does that make more sense now?

6. moron* and his room full of dopes created this whole bullshit war on terror via a false flag.
Edited on Tue Dec-29-09 04:55 PM by Javaman
Everything after that is a product of that false flag. So therefore, all acts of terrorism are false flags from 9/11 forward.

Trying to untie the knot is impossible. Only cutting through it solves it.
