"In a bizarre coincidence..."

[Minstrel Boy]

Aren't you just fucking tired of those words? Has "news" become a jumble of one "bizarre coincidence" after another?

"In a bizarre coincidence, Nick Berg crossed paths with Al Qaeda years before..."

"In what the government describes as a bizarre coincidence, one U.S. intelligence agency was planning an exercise last Sept. 11 in which an errant aircraft crashed into one of its buildings...."

1. Lee Harvey Berg

no wonder crackpot conspiracy theorists are going gonzo. reminds me of the jfk anomolies. oswald, faked photos, bizarre coincidences.

this story is fresh, so i think it's o.k. to speculate wildly, considering our nazi propaganda machine.

i will not ridicule conspiracy theorists at this time.

2. Do we know how many other e-mail addresses

& passwords he had?

Not much of a coincidence if he had 30,000,000, but if he had 10 it's a bit different.

3. And my personal favorite, although it was never said, it should have been:

"In a bizzare coincindence, the Republican party, seeking a nominee who can bring experience, morality, integrity, and dignity back to the White House; has nominated George W Bush, a man who has had failed business after failed business, is most likely guilty of insider trading, was an alcoholic for thirty years, has little experience in office, has described himself as "just a media creation" and therefore not fit to run for office, has a history of cociane usage and abuse, shirked his military duty during Vietnam by flat-out disappearing from the Texas Air National Guard, has mocked and ridiclued death row inmates after ordering their death, whose state has the worst environmental and education record in the United States, has on the campaign trail slandered the record of a fellow Republican and war hero, who has twice been caught driving while under the influence, and has an arrest record."

4. At least they got off the word "BOLD" for awhile...

9. Well said!

5. Berg was a Freeper target in 2001!

There was a post yesterday about Berg being on a Freeper Target list of enemies. Where did that story go?

6. A lot of money saved with those two words

No need to probe and investigate, just encourage everyone to boggle at the coincidence -- wow, isn't this bizarre folks?!

[burythehatchet]

7. The entire existance of the Bush family has been one bizarre

coincidence after another

[bobthedrummer]

11. They are war profiteers and traitors imho.

NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.

8. Cool finding!

What a funny world we live in, with so many coincidences. Things do happen.

10. Smells like the attack machine kicked in after Mr.Berg blamed W & Rummy

"Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld,"

PHILADELPHIA - (KRT) - The day he buried his son, Nick Berg's father angrily lashed out at President Bush - and said he had a question for him:

"I would like to ask him if it's true that al-Qaeda offered to trade my son's life for another person," Michael Berg told a small group of reporters early Thursday morning outside his West Chester home.

"And if that is true, well, I need that information," said Berg, a self-proclaimed peace activist who has marched against the Iraq war. "I think that the people of the United States of America need to know what the fate of their sons and daughters might be in the hands of the Bush administration."

"Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," he said, shortly after posting a "War is not the Answer" sign on his front lawn. "The al-Qaeda people are probably just as bad as they are, but this administration did this."
