Title: Iraq\'s need for insurance
Post by: videoholic on September 13, 2001, 10:12:24 AM
Anyone seen the reports that an 80 million dollar insurance policy was sought out on Monday for the Iraq embassy here in the US.  The Iraq embassy is right next door to the Pentagon.  I thought that was rather intriguing.

I have a feeling Iraq will feel some major pain in this.  Did you see any of the Colin Powell press conference?  He said that they will defeat all Terrorism in the world.  He made specific reference to Sadam.

I also heard such a rumor.  And, not surprisingly, Iraq was the only Arab country, including Afghanistan, to not send condolences.  It may very well be possible that this one was funded by the country of Iraq.

Oh and:

I\'m not sure that\'s entirely true...isn\'t that why they went into Kuwait to begin with?  I thought they didn\'t have any oil.  Maybe I\'m mistaken.  Not all Arab nations have oil, that\'s why alot of them are so poor.

Wow,
this is some serious sh!t, if ture, America should take care of that fat mofo, just grill thas azzhole in his bunker.

IMO

How many of you believe that the CIA, NSA, FBI whoever, did not know about the terrorist act before it happened???? that is hard to believe, wow. I wouldn\'t be surprised if this issue would come up in a couple of years when some Intelligence service from some other country would leak some info about giving them some info/warning.

the answer they gave out for Bush\'s reluctance to travel back to Washington was weak imo, his "life was in danger" either in the white house, or on air force one, so we needed to fly a couple of fighter jets with him...  They added that it came from reliable sources... who?!!!! couldn\'t those reliable source warn people going to work on a sunny morning at WTC????

IMO

There have been reports that these reliable sources warned of the impending attack on air force one with the use of code words that only someone on the inside would know.  That is very erie to think we have a mole in the CIA, or Secret Service.

Did anyone see the interview with Norman Schwarzkopf yesterday?  Holy shiite was he mad!  Talk about "controlled anger"...I thought his head was gonna POP!  

And Kirath...GREAT idea!!!  Payback from the world for our financial & human resources over the years would be to wack Iraq a clean one and simply make it the 52nd state it the great USofA!!!  \'Bout time we added another one anyway...so why not take out these terrorist wack-jobs, grab our oil reserves for the next 300 years, and basically say "thanks for the memories"...

Dude, America can\'t take over one country in the middle east, face it, they might have sent 70 or so cruise missiles into Afghanistan after Bin Ledin in 1997, which sadly failed,
and mostly killed a couple civilians and goats&sheep.

Cruise missles are very limited in what they can really do.  They are mainly just tactical weapons to protect the air power.  They go in and knock out the infrastructure and that helps protect the planes.  This time we are using everything.  They have called in the reserves.  This is going to be long.
