Topic: "Missing" explosives in Iraq...

The news has been reporting for the last two days in nearly every broadcast that explosives are missing from Iraq.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle … 950493.stm

Anyone think this is merely a meme being planted?  And that this is an indication of an upcoming massive "terrorist" attack somewhere?

The words can almost be heard now from the public, "Well this is tragic, but we knew something like this would happen.  After all those evil terrorists stole those explosives from Iraq!"

Maybe it's just non-issue.  But the timing of the whole thing, and the constant reporting of it...seems very suspicious...

It'll be interesting to see all the wild cards that appear before the elections Huh?

If there is no time
      Then you have time for everything.
   You're never in a hurry.
That's true freedom.

No, I think you're right Marcus, because that was exactly what I was thinking as well.  They're inserting in this bunk about missing explosives just before the election, so it'll be fresh on our minds when they pop something and blame it on Iraq.  It''s so obvious it could be laughable if it wasn't so tragic at the same time.  Even more tragic is that if/when some "terrorist" act does happen and it's blamed on Iraq, there will actually be mass amounts of the public who will be parroting what we're all told....that it came from the missing weapons cache that disappeared 6 weeks before.

I used to want to scream and get all riled up.  Then I just began rolling my eyes.  Now I just don't care.  It's gotten so stupid what are we even supposed to do?  I've given up on reactions at this point.

Hi Lyra --

My thoughts exactly...so blatantly obvious, and beyond ridiculous.  And yet, the story will be swallowed "hook, line and sinker" by many, if not most, with no questioning, no thinking, no "nothing."  After all, that's what the newspaper said, and that's what CNN reported.

I do believe though, that Iran (the next intended target) -- not Iraq -- will be blamed.

Oh lordy lord.....don't even remind me!  I saw a story on Rense last night about how whatever few flu vaccines they do have are designed to target the wrong strain.

Oh, the horror!!!

I've made it to age 29.5.............and I'm still here...........without any flu shots.

If only the public would realize that this "flu shot craze" has only appeared during the past few years.  Before that I never recall hearing anything about yearly flu shots being pushed on us in such a manic crazed way.   If flu shots did exist it was all low key, as far as I remember.

Why doesn't the public question that??!

Oh, nevermind...........
