Did you recently read Clancy's "The Dragon and the Bear"? That's what he proposed, tying in the last two or three books, "Debt of Honor", "Executive Orders" and "Rainbow Six". No flame intended, just wondering if that where you're comming from.
(By the way, we kick China's butt in the the last book.) |

Quoted: [>:/] I'm just suggesting, (a wild & unlikely theory) that maybe a country like China could be behind something like this but is using the Islamic fundamentalists as a front. It would be an indirect method of destabilizing the US economy & stretching US military assets thin. Just a wild theory. I still find it hard to believe that an organized group pulled this off without some support or training from a foreign state. |

I stopped reading Ton Clancy after I got married. Now all of my purchases must be 'approved' by the financial department of internal affairs (wife) and if I run out of cash during the week? Too damn bad. I used to steal cash from her wallet, but she hides that somewhere else now.

I don't think China is behind it. But I've been thinking all week that as soon as the United States is adequately "distracted" that they will make a move on Taiwan.

I was getting a little tired of Jack Ryan. I became a big Mr. Clark fan though!! What book had the nut crash the plane into the Capitol?? I really liked the one that had Clark avenging the death of his woman! |

For that matter, it could be India, looking for a way to whack Islamic Pakistan.

THe plane crash was Debt of Honor.
I too am a big Mr. Clark Fan (He makes James Bond out to be a pansy). The first book about Clark is "Without Remorse". I like when he puts the drug dealer in the compression chamber. |

For some people here, going after someone who had the means and opportunity to do this is enuf.
They say we don't need to bother establishing motive. I say we better be careful. |

And still reasonably intelligent minds resist the ability to accept the truth. Logistics, financing, training, complicity--all were provided by elements WITHIN our very government.
But hey, we don't want to really go after the REAL perpetrators--that would require forcing our alleged reps and politicos into compliance with our Consitution. No, no, we don't want that. Killing non-americans so we can think we did something is much easier. Edited to add the following thoughts. Always ask the pertinent questions. How did China become a "superpower"? WHere did the funding, arms, and weaponry to make that so come from? It's classic strategy of those who seek to control. The ONLY way to be absolutely sure of the outcome of planned events/responses is to control or attempt to control EVERY element in the equation. |

Dudes, I have been trying to say watch China since day one. This is exactly the way they would operate. If (might be a stretch) by some very small chance Bin Sodom is telling the truth about not planning the attack. Who else would it be ? Who else has so much to gain ?

an ancient tactic! wouldn't surprise me if there was more than one involved in this. China has used it before too, they've been eager to make a strike at us for years...

I am completely convinced that this occurance is merely paving the way for things yet to come.
Does that mean we sit on our haunches and drool? Of course not. But, what has been prophesied will come to pass and BTW.......there is no mention of American in the Book of Revelation...........we shall be absorbed......assimilated...........swallowed up into a greater "New World Order". |

Hmmmm...I'm not so sure about the China connection. After all, isn't the USA a big chunk of their economy?
Still, it a theory worth pondering. You sure we can't blame the French? [;)] |

AFAIK, the Islamics are not fans of China, considering what China is doing near its southwestern border.
