Lotsa talk about it, but do you really think it could happen? Do you REALLY think ....... |
|
...... the Scrotum Bomber could have been an inside job? Or at least the withholding of the dot connectors could have been intentional by US citizens on the inside of the US government apparatus?
Do you **REALLY** think that's possible?
You know you do.
So do I.
Possible is one thing. Actuality is another thing altogether.
Do you think its likely?
We'll never know.

1. Of course I do and yes, we may never know... |
|
But I think Obama's outwardly patient manner is paying off. Some stink is hitting the slowly rotating fan today so there's an odor in the air. An odor that smells like a certain ex Veep.

That this all eventually leads back to that shitbag.

3. They're mistaking his calm demeanor for perpetual inaction and naivete. They're greatly mistaken. |

And to answer the OP, yes.

4. I don't know what to think but goddamnit, it's fun to entertain the possibility |
|
that we might someday before I die, get to see the dick in leg irons being escorted to his cell, or even to the gallows.
Might just be a fantasy, but it keeps me going.

6. The Fruit of the Boom ....Bomber |

You mean the one who bought a ticket for cash, had no luggage, was on 2 watch lists, was met by a man in a suit who helped him avoid Israel Security scanners and whose father is the head of the Bank of Islam? That guy?
Well... now that you mention it.... I.. ah... er..
But then, Hillary Clinton on Tee Vee today calling for war against Yemen... now that was a dot connector.... lol

7. If Dickwad was connected, would Obama do anything about it? |
|
He's giving Dick 'n Bush a pass on all the other crimes they've comitted.

25. No, because the media would absolutely shred him. |
|
They'd never let the question get a fair hearing, IMO.

8. I just hope they don't use the excuse, "That was in the past." |
|
Because every damn thing is in the past! Just because a murder or bank robbery is in the past doesn't mean it shouldn't be prosecuted.

9. Yes, I think it's remotely possible |
|
but I think the more plausible answer is that somebody in Nigeria was paid off to get him onto that plane.
It's a poor country. It wouldn't take much.

It certainly was a massive failure of Intelligence, but I don't think it was an inside job. If it were, I think someone more competant would have been used. This guy was a major fuck-up.
There are hundreds, if not thousands of airports world wide that have flights coming into the US. Some are more lax in security than others. We have thousands of TSA employees and hundreds of thousands of names on the watch list. It's got to be like juggling a 100 balls all at once.
I'm sort of surprised this kind of thing doesn't happen more often.

18. I think the notion of an actual inside job is low. |
|
It would, however, take only one or three partisans in the direct communication chain to stymie information sharing and dot connecting. Opportunistic LIHOP, as it were.

15. We shoot missiles into a civil war in Yemen. Suddenly, just before Christmas, |
|
Al Qaeda turns up in Yemen, at least according to the media, who went right from healthcare "reform" coverage to Undy-Bomber when said ball-sack bomber flew in out of the blue with a bomb strapped to his gonads. Mighty convenient for Skeletor to then come out on MTP shilling his machines while MSNBC was simultaneously shilling them on the slow days between Christmas and New Years. Ball-sack jockstrap, boob and penis-peering, bomb-detecting machine coming to an airport near you.
Oh yea, and dude who was willing to blow his nuts off just happens to have been trained how to blow airplane bulkheads apart using high-speed testicular penetration of said bulkhead by great-flaming balls of fire by...wait for it...Al Qaeda in Yemen. And, since we're probably going to need to lob a few more baby-blasters in there, we need a scapegoat to justify it. How convenient.

17. I'm pretty sure it was a monster on the wing of the plane. |
|
He tried to tell everyone, no one would listen, and so he had to light his underwear on fire to get everyone's attention.
Take a look into that, and of course, what happened in Roswell.

20. My question is, if it was an inside job, did it go as planned, or was it thwarted |
|
by others on the plane?
And yes, I do think it possible that it was some clandestine operation by some hidden entity within.

22. It is something a single person could do without help |
|
I find it hard to believe he would even need help. His failure leads me to believe he didn't have any.
