Is it possible Bush/Dick PURPOSELY let the 350 tons explosives loose

so that American's can be attacked, thus justifying a mini shock and awe attack on insurgent-dense areas and creating a media blitz that pushes aside any bad news coming along?

these people are callous enough to kill 3000 americans - it's pretty plausible to me that they did this on purpose too. whatta think?

It is that simple.

Bush and Cheney of killing 3000 Americans just to make Dems and DU look loony?

Just askin'...

but it is hard to deny that they are responsible for the deaths of 1100 american soldiers, tens of thousands of Iraqi citizens, and increase in terrorist recruitment(more deaths now and in teh future).

Not so loony now, is it?

Just your thread opener.

existed in 1944, there would have no doubt been "good Germans" posting:

"Is it possible to PURPOSELY post something that accuses
Hitler of killing 3000 (or 3 million) Jews just to make Christian Democrats and CDU look loony?"

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Question EVERYTHING this regime tells you.

The regime has already admitted it is not "reality-based." It is up to them to prove they are NOT loony. They will have no more success in proving their sanity than did Saddam Hussein in proving he had no WMDs.

Nicely done!

I think the Bush administration may be purposely attempting to keep Iraq in an advanced state of decline so that they can justify further troops and crackdowns.

For months, Yet he still did nothing to protect the highest yielding explosive dump?:wtf:

I think it's entirely possible that Bush/Dick HAD THE EXPLOSIVES TAKEN.

The article in the NYT says that our soldiers went through the Al Qaqaa site early after the invasion, but didn't see any materials there with the IAEA seal. WTF? We clearly knew about this site, and the weapons inspectors had reported exactly what was there. But...our soldiers "didn't see anything"????

It's not beyond the realm of belief that WE stole the stuff. And, frankly, I hope we did, rather than it being sold around the world at terrorist garage sales.

I know, I know, I'm grasping at straws, but even now I just can't take in that this administration is so totally freaking incompetent. It's too scary.

...Bush would almost certainly be cruising to reelection. They don't have a prior imperative of "crushing the insurgents." They didn't steal the presidency in order to defeat Iraqis in Fallujah. They created Iraqi enemies in Fallujah by their stupid invasion, and the fact that those enemies are effective is a *huge problem* for the Bush regime, not an opportunity.

but now that he has this problem on his hands, he might feel that hte only way to solve his problem is to show resolve. so create a problema nd solve it yourself.

Unless the entire Bush election cycle is a prop to get Kerry in power on a "War on Terror" platform with both Repubs and Dems on board (imagine a "War on Terror" during the Clinton cycle, pfah). In which case lifting the 'plosives fits into the long term strategy, a small cache, easily quashable by American military might over a few years, making Kerry the new God-King by association with the squashing of a few, highly televised flies.

:tinfoilhat: ;)

I think your scenario is more than plausible. I think it's probable.

FAULT this happened. They can't blame it on Clinton or Kerry. I don't follow the logic. I am one to believe that they'll do anything and for those who don't - do a little reading up on the PNAC.

measures, I would put nothing past these punks, * and co are cling-ons they are clinging on to power, hopefully someone somewhere will stop them before they let another 9/11 occur.

:puke:

Nothing.

However, I rather think this was more incompetence, but I don't know. They also have the uncanny ability to benefit from anything (more explosives mean more weapons in the hands of terrorists means we're more vulnerable and they get to fearmonger more), so it's often hard to tell what's up with them.

I only know: they've never told the truth about ANYthing, they put the nation and its people at risk daily (as well as LIHOP/MIHOP), and if history gets to be written by the good guys, will go down right next to Hitler, Pol Pot and a precious few others as evil incarnate.

Politically, a success in Iraq would have guaranteed Bush's re-election. I have a hard time believing that they would have intentionally left the explosive to be taken. They were more interested in the oil.

"Do not attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence."

he saw a secret memo from the Rummy neighborhood which said that encouraging terror is part of the Bush plan in Iraq in order to justify the continuing non-occupation. Can't argue much with the logic, although to me they just don't even seem competent enough to pull off that plan, as low-effort as it is.
