Interesting story. Back in the late 70's I was a 12B10 which is a combat engineer. We used bangalore torpedoes on concertina fences. Det cord was another favorite toy of mine. We would topple trees with the stuff. I later cross branched to active duty Navy because I became a bit bored and wanted to climb the ranks at a faster pace. I was a demolition expert and I disagree with you with regards to what Jet fuel can do. The temperature threshold was very high and can melt steel. The only public opposition to this came from Rosie O'Donnell and Charlie Sheen. I cannot for a moment think they are scientists by any measure. Do you think Arabs would die for an American conspiracy?

Unwillingly, you bet. They were put on the planes, no doubt. No way they knew they were about to be martyrs sooner rather than later. CIA or Mossad, whoever did it would not have risked one of them having a "comming to Jesus" moment in the middle of the airport. They probably thought they were just taking a connecting flight but it was really not the dress rehearsal anymore

I'm still not sure about Flight 93, I am betting a F-16 pilot defied orders and said "fuuck this" and shot the thing down because he heard about the attacks.

Greetings, Flamingboat,

The General Topics forum got more interesting when you came aboard, thanks for standing up. We're in mighty strange times now, and it's vital to start thinking outside the box.

What some folks have come to realize is that the old labels like "liberal" & "conservative" have been rendered nearly meaningless. That is, the two parties running the Punch & Judy Show in Washington are beholden to the same power elite, who laugh at us peasants who continue to vote for the stooges THEY select to maintain the illusion of a republic. Our democratic process bears a striking resemblance to professional wrestling, esp. nowadays! Does anybody seriously think that out of the millions of people in this country, McCain & Obama are the best qualified men we could find? Puh-leeeze!

In the long run, the Wall St. Bailout may be far more significant than what happens with the election next month -- that is, if the election even takes place. I figure the economic situation is even worse than they're admitting. I'm buying more groceries than usual, just in case.

What I reckon is in the pipeline, regardless of who's in office (remember both parties pushed for the bailout), is a total nationalization of our financial system. It won't be called communist or fascist -- it'll be an emergency "rescue", of course! And if that brilliant plan doesn't work, the filthy rich will slip away to their safe havens (guarded by Blackwater mercs) and let us liberal & conservative peasants kill each other over whatever's left.

Friends, if you're still getting your news from the mainstream media... The Matrix has you. Take the red pill, please. It's later than you think.

Some people never learn.

Clinton tried the tie in game and it failed.

Nuff Said

BTW.. Even McCain admits there is no need for fear from an Obama presidency

Man, listening to american party sympathizers is worse then reading russian propaganda over georgia. I hereby predict the next US civil war within the next 10 years if this goes on. Heavens.

nah, it's always been that way here. But even Jefferson said we should revolt every 20 years to clean up the house, and remind those we elect who really has the power in the country.

Try living here. I've contemplated moving out of the country during election season. It's agony.
