The whole war on terror is so unreasonable that it's stupid.

It's been reported that there are only a few hundred or thousand Al-Qaeda and Taliban members, and the U.S. sends over 100,000 troops (NOT including XE/Blackwater Mercenaries which are about another 40,000+ troops) to fight a few hundred people.

They spend hundreds of billions, and for what? To kill a few hundred people?

Over 300,000 Million people in the U.S. are somewhat becoming effected by the decline in the economy, and the money is going over there to fight a few hundred people.

It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard.

There's more MS13 gang members in the United States than all the terrorists in the Middle East combined, and yet no one gives a damn about that.

However, it's not surprising that the CIA makes money off drugs, so therefore, OF COURSE no one would care about gang members.

Weren't there two accomplices?
Maybe more?

The way I understood it there was the guy in the suit that helped the panty-bomber get on the plane and then there was at least one more that was onboard with him that authorities detained as well.

Can't remember who was leaking this information. It was some lawyer that was on the same flight.

Yeah, this is yet another example of the Feds being involved in this crap. Otherwise, they would have just come clean with it. They would love nothing more than another opportunity to scare the crap out of the public.
But they can't let all this out, or people will realize that this was going on with the help of the FBI.

At least, that is how I see it.

Of course this was a false flag.

They wanted full body scanners in the airports so they invented the underwear bomber.
This in turn will lead to this:

Detroit plane bomber 'acted alone'

DutchNews.nl - ‎Jan 6, 2010‎ An initial police investigation shows Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab probably acted alone. Some other passengers on the flight say they saw him together with a ...





Dutch say failed plane bomber acted alone

AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The Nigerian man accused of trying to blow up a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit on Christmas acted alone and probably smuggled the explosives from Nigeria, the Dutch public prosecutor said on Tuesday.





Attempted Christmas Day bomber had no accomplice

Posted on: January 8th, 2010 by Trevor Woods Dutch authorities have confirmed that the man accused of the foiled Christmas Day bombing of a Northwest Airlines jet Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab did not have any accomplices working with him when he attempted to detonate a bomb hidden in his underwear.

Seriously? The Dutch 'Authorities' officially announced he acted alone as you can see in my response to Doc Velocity.

Funny, I heard the accomplice story from Day One, and I've never heard anyone deny that story. As I understood it, an Indian or Pakastani guy in a business suit was seen assisting the panty-bomber before he boarded his flight.

When was that story ever denied?

Agree mate... this story was being told from day 1, also in Dutch newspapers, and don't recall this as being denied... Also, don't really get how this 'news' makes is a 'false flag operation'.... or can only an Indian/Pakistani man be well dressed if he's CIA??

I know they were a long time browsing airport tapes. from the day of the incident until January 4th or 5th. there was supposed to be 200 hours of tape?? I didn't think they would hold out against Haskell for long.


This is an interesting link to a possible agenda as to why the bomber even got so far as he did,
www.youtube.com...

Another thing, why did the bomber not remain in the loo? he had been in previously for 20 minutes, he should have been able to do more damage there, in a much more confined space.

Great question about why didnt he just stay in the loo.

Perhaps the sensitive smoke alarms in the bathroom would have set off before he could make any real progress.

The original story in some media markets did NOT tell there was a second individual involved. ONLY because of the passenger who spoke to the media in his hometown did the feds finally come clean.

Example: Where we live the media did NOT tell of the 2nd individual.

But across the border in NC just 4 towns away, the media DID tell of the 2nd individual.

The detonator for that bomb was acid in a syringe. It was a chemical based bomb. he more than likely was instructed to set off that device near or at a window to cause maximum results. Which is why he didn't go to the bathroom.

I thought you would get more bucks for your bang in a confined space, and noone would be able to see you....I thought there are toilet windows in at least some planes. What happened, was Superman being a naughty boy again!

a potential false flag and only 2 pages of replies, at least we know the government is succeeding in suppressing not only the facts but the interest in the facts


its hard to believe more people dont have an opinion, or are not interested in this topic

also interesting how it just seemed to disappear in the media after the haiti situation, actually makes you wonder if the two are linked


if the government was involved in both, which some believe (some think the earthquake was caused by someone (not saying i do or dont believe that), the haiti thing would be a great way to take attention away from the attempted bombing thing if people are getting close to finding something out, and it definitely took all the attention away from it


personally i havent heard anything in the media about the panty bomber in a long time


to me that is very interesting, i mean how can people buy the fact that this young kid was able to be that successful on his own, personally i dont buy it


even if on that day he acted alone, he still would have had to have a significant amount of support prior to the situation

planning something like that is not easy, and im sure it wouldnt be tackled as a one man job


on top of that, if he truly is al queda like they claim, wouldnt you want much more publicity on the matter as a government member, in order to get to the bottom of the situation and get the rest of those involved, or do they really expect us to believe all the worlds terrorist are working together in a huge plot against us, and if they are, why arent we in a full out world war?


if he was truly a member of al queda and this was all real, in my opinion there would be significant reporting/investigation/publicity surrounding the circumstance in an effort to get the specific cell of terrorists/al queda that was involved


when was the last time you heard juicy information that the media didnt jump all over?

having eyewitness reports of a second or 3rd individual involved is something the media would usually jump on with quickness

however here, its barely reported


doesnt add up on my calculator

if someone else was involved they would hop on it for scare tactics which = ratings

however here they ignore the situation


from my experience in the media if theres something that = ratings that they dont jump on, theres a very serious reason for it

just to reiterate the point about the media jumping on things

remember the coast guard incident in D.C.

they jumped on that quick
but here, no reports on anything about a second person involved or even potentially involved

seems a lot fishier then our oceans ever were

Wow. Unbelievable!

It seems airline passengers are the new crash test dummies for any kind of new technology they want to trial. And without consent too! Just change some legislation and hey......they can do as they please!

So long as it's covered in a blanket of national security B.S.

I wonder when they are gonna show it on the tv where I live, guess like never.
Long story short.
For some time ago my friend had a 7month old dog, cop killed the dog and on tv they said it was a big dog that was about to attack the cop. Great World.
