But as always the military could not bring itself to admit what hundreds of witnesses saw with their own eyes. The spark in the fuel tank caused the -- you know, it's not worth repeating the absurd FAA arguments, it's an absurd fairy story.
Tell the hardest truth first. Reveal everything. A spark in the fuel tank?! For shame.

Dated but you get the picture. Our "loans" to Israel fund "lobbying" on Capitol Hill (That really ought to be Capital Hill). No wonder Israel is enjoying a 10-year $30 billion loan package.
I'm not sure that I'd care if Israel set up "death camps" and starting slaughtering Palestinians BUT I SURE DON'T WANT TO FOOT THE BILL FOR A RELIGIOUS PSYCHO STATE TO ENGAGE IN GENOCIDE.
Hillary Clinton got slapped in the face by Israel last week. Obama ought to IMMEDIATELY apply the brakes to the insane, endless flow of money, arms and most importantly UN vetoes from the US.
Furthermore, The UN ought to deploy an enormous buffer force to protect the Palestinians. Look at a map of the shrinking Palestinian territory. Choked out of existence. Yet we are somehow amazed when people blow themselves up in desperate acts of terror. Why is the Israeli genocide allowed to continue, decade after decade?
The US would do well to re-evaluate its relationship with Israel. No foreign country ought to have the amount of influence over US politics that Israel has. And Israel IS a foreign country.
How about invading fewer countries and transferring less wealth to corporations via bail-outs and the kind of scams that Dyncorp, Blackwater et al run in Iraq and Afghanistan?
How about getting rid of the Federal government and returning power to the states? The Federal government is beyond repair.
RAISING taxes? More money to the gang of thieves in DC? No way.
At best it was the name of a database used by US and British spies, there IS NO ORGANIZATION CALLING ITSELF AL QUEDA. You may as well refer to our eternally-scary "enemy" as Emmanuel Goldstein, that would be far closer to the truth.
And IMHO the Democrats have proven beyond any doubt that they're Republicans with a different color paint job.
INTERCOURSE the bank bailouts -- it is THEFT on a massive scale, and you do not need an Economics PhD to see that. You're worried about "populism"? Perhaps you should be.
Ever see dogs herding sheep? Every once in a while, one of those sheep will kick the dog in the face.
Has the Federal government required any of their very, very fortunate banking pals to reveal the depth of their losses? The shoe has yet to drop, and it's been months and months.
The Democrats and the GOP are indistinguishable on this topic.
it's a SEAMLESS transition. He's literally continued the misdeeds of Bush43.
What gives? Surely there must be an Amendment that provides some kind of Lemon Law relief for bait-and-switch Presidencies.
Is that some kind of lobbying device used by AIPAC?
A tainted election? God forbid! Did they use Diebold e-voting machines like in the good old US of A?
Why any interest in Iran's election when so little was published regarding the severely tainted 2000 and 2004 AMERICAN elections?
Another anti-Iran we're-gonna-gitcha meme? Do we need to "restore democracy" to Iran? Is that the latest spin?
We're dead broke, we've rewarded corporations for offshoring high-paying jobs, we don't manufacture anything here any more except for rich executives. The "stimulus" (aka theft) is a joke, it's literally a drop in the bucket.
Banks STILL have not owned up to their exposure to worthless paper debt. No one can honestly believe that a shack in Compton CA is honestly worth $400,000.
God knows I'm no Nobel Prize winner, but I'm thinking that getting our dicks out of Afghanistan and Iraq might just be a bright idea. We cannot afford to beat the shit out of the world whenever we feel like it.
Even the most ardent, brainwashed Obama supporters must be experiencing the "itchy feet and fading smiles" sense of disappointment as NOTHING CHANGES. We've been duped again.
Come 2012, if we're still here, a populist President would be a refreshing change, Jesse Ventura, perhaps. How do you fix a broken, entrenched system like Washington DC?
[filing nails]
Did we attack Iran yet? I know the US is terribly concerned about fair elections. In other countries.
Why not toss it to the Iranian version of Fat Tony and the Supremes? Perhaps they'll be in a hurry to get to their scheduled vacations and appoint a winner like the US did in 2000. Maybe Iran can enjoy western-style e-voting and the Iranian Diebold can specify a winner. Remember how an e-voting machine was hacked by a chimpanzee, a zoo animal? That is how insecure e-voting is: designed from the ground up to steal elections.
But no US politician (like Al Gore) could bring themselves to utter the words "vote fraud," now could they?
Iranian elections. Zzz. Wake me when it's over.
Anyone read ANY history whatsoever? There are reasons the spies^H^H^H^H^Hdiplomats in the US Embassy in Tehran were held captive. There are reasons not to trust so much as one word in the MSM about Iran this week.
MSM isn't about truth, it's about shaping people's opinions.
>Why is this tired old "think piece" always written by narcissistic Yuppie skanks who never get any attention from men?
[spraying coffee out of nostrils]
And in a big way. Change you can believe in? Obama seems like Bush43 with a tan to me.
Can we possibly get a REAL candidate who won't forget every promise they made while campaigning? Failing that, can we return power to the states? Fuck the Federal government -- it doesn't work, it's too corrupt to fix.
No revolution needed. Just return power to the states. The Feds can defend the coastline and deliver the mail. But drain off their power like pus out of some kind of injury.
