Anyone else wonder about this Iraqi suicide bomber captured in Jordan?
I'm wondering more than a couple things like....

Could she purposely have been set up by al-Qaeda to deliver the WRONG information? For this purpose, was she unknowingly set up with a device by the terrorists that was meant NOT to go off? Does she just THINK her device malfunctioned? If so, is she or isn't she AWARE of her role in this? Is she being used by al-Qaeda as a pawn?

Or, worse yet, could this be just another tragic hoax that's supposed to play into the hands of Bushco? Considering how our own "president" has manipulated and mislead his entire country for 5 years, what's to make us wonder if there MIGHT not be a connection between this woman, Bush's low ratings, Bush being on his Asian tour, & her getting caught by an "ally" of ours, Jordan? I hope to fuck not, but after what we've been through with this corrupt administration, anything is possible.

So, is she being used as a sacrificial lamb by al-Qaeda to deliver false information about them in order to throw us off...or is it a big setup...or did her bomb really malfunction and she just happens to feel like doing some TV interviews? WTF?

Something just aint right in the state of Denmark.

2. Yes, I am thinking the same
All this attention that this is getting, Bill and Hill over there making stupid statements; Rice over there, what the hell? Iraqis are blown up every day of the week and no one gives a shit

Why are we so focused on this? And this woman being paraded before the cameras with her explosive belt on her, this whole thing smacks of something wrong

Yes, King of Jordan best friend of the Chimp - he still wears the cowboy boots the Chimperor gave him, yes they are the best of friends.

8. Fishy indeed. If the story IS legit, wouldn't it be advantageous NOT to
parade her all over the air waves? Wouldn't they have kept it secret until AFTER the experts had questioned her and gotten all they could from her? I could understand them breaking this story a month from now, but days after she was arrested, no.

One would think they would've kept it a secret even from al-Qaeda if they captured her alive. Would they not?

3. I agree that there's more here than meets the eye.
The whole thing is incredibly bizarre. I mean, she was posing with her explosives belt! How weird is that?! It's all very Nick Bergian.

But I haven't reached the point where I can even speculate what's up.

Can the UN investigate? Or some other disinterested party?

4. Just the fact that a suicide bomber was caught and paraded on TV...
... is enough for me to doubt it.

The fact that she is allegedly and Iraqi/Al Qaeda terrorist? That makes it stink to high heaven.

9. Some Iraq suicide bombers 'forced'

Some Iraq suicide bombers 'forced'

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- The U.S. has evidence that some suicide bombers in Iraq may have been forced against their will to carry out attack missions.

A military official with the U.S. Central Command tells CNN that in one case after an attack, troops found a body with a foot tied with a rope inside a vehicle.

The official says there also is evidence of some individuals having their entire family held by extremists who then force them into suicide car bomb attacks.

ABC News reported the U.S. claims in an interview aired Friday.

In some attacks, suspected bombers have run from their cars and come to U.S. forces, officials said.

10. i suspect everything and believe nothing.
i think there is a lot more to the bombings and question if al qaida was involved at all.
I wonder who the actual targets were?

this woman, too weird to believe, and she didnt ring true on TV. I think it was a plant.

and the pro government demonstrations were been shown on TV.

Nope, i dont believe any of it. It could just as easily be the CIA as al qaida.

12. The whole thing STINKS to high heaven.
Even if she is 100% genuine, parading her on TV
is the LAST thing that real investigators would do!

And her "statement" is just too perfect, the way it supports
B*shCabal™ and all its propaganda.

To stir the pot a little:
I think it's possible that she is an entirely JORDANIAN creation;
Jordan would have every reason to lie if the
bombings were conducted by some internal faction.

13. Did this woman look at all like a woman
who had just lost her husband? The brief clip I saw did not show her to be in mourning or sad. Did I miss something?

15. It's possible she chickened out
more likely the "bomb" was never meant to go off and she's an admin plant to stoke the al Zarqawi fire.

18. Who stands to gain?
Despite the media pounding us with the story that westerners frequent these locations...consider the following

A) at the Days Inn....3 Chinese security forces were killed and a 4th injured... the were just returing from a security seminar.

B) at the Hyatt....4 high level Palestinians were killed...the blast seems to be focused in the area where they were.

C) at the Radisson...the bulk of the damage was done to a wedding party ....I'm sure lots of westerners peg a hotel in Jordan high on the list of desirable wedding venues.
Most of the injuries were to the victims heads and upper body.
the ceiling is completely blown and was the likely origination of the explosion.

Sure sounds Like Al Queda....NOT

and we have shrub visiting China and we get this ....

The average Chinese believes our consistent advocacy of peaceful coexistence in terms of state-to-state relations, loyalty to justice and our persistent sympathy for the weak serves as a reliable safeguard against international terrorism. However, the suicide bombings in Amman, the Jordanian capital, on Wednesday night, which left three Chinese citizens dead and another injured, have shown that terrorism is never far away.

There is no evidence that Chinese nationals were the targets. Most likely, our tragic loss was what some term collateral damage. The tragedy is a bloody reminder that no country, our own included, can claim security until all countries are safe from terror.

Terrorism's indiscriminate threat to innocent lives determines it as a common enemy of humanity. For that reason, our condemnation of terror has to be complete and unconditional. All the way from New York to New Delhi, and now Amman, terror has failed to scare off any country or government. It is reassuring to hear national leaders, including President Hu Jintao, reiterate their countries' commitments to the fight against terror.

Such a show of solidarity is essential. In his remarks on the Amman carnage, United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan focused on international collaboration. Unless all countries commit whole-heartedly to the world's joint defence against terror, terrorist cells will survive and thrive

19. In cahoots with the King of Jordan...
Edited on Mon Nov-14-05 12:42 PM by kentuck
This could have been a set-up by the "intelligence" of these two leaders? By coincidence, the King was in Washington talking with Bush when this happened?
