"Syria Says US Behind Attack On Own Embassy"
Gosh, what a surprise! Wasn't this "attack", its dramatic unfolding and successful "resistance" announced about when president goofball was wrapping up his Monday night fear speech during the PT911 TV movie?

38. If we wanted to do this
wouldn't we have picked a country where we have control of things?

Wouldn't Saudii Arabia or Israel have made more sense so that if something went wrong (the guys got captured?) we'd have control over the story.

Syria doesn't make any sense. If the guys got captured they'd be held by our enemy (Syrian government) who could use the info to make big trouble for us.

Most conspiracy theories at least make a little bit of sense. This one doesn't.

40. what if the ppl executing the attack don't..
know who is really behind them?

OBL was a CIA asset @ one time; maybe still.. who knows. whose to say we don't have more OBLs out there recruiting fighters that truly believe that they are fighting against the west. when in reality they are actually just catalyst to justify more military involvement.

total speculation; or brilliant strategy..

should we give western governments/intelligence agencies the benefit of doubt? fuck no

question everything

41. Except that Syria is on PNAC's list of countries they want to go after
I'll have to admit the first thing I thought when I heard about the attack was "I bet Bushco did it."

42. If we wanted to do this...
We wouldn't. So I presume. Although I don't know you, Yupster, I guess like 99 percent of everyone else, you're not in a position to orchestrate a false-flag attack.

I think step one toward better understanding might be to find the right pronoun.

3. Knowing how corrupt the BushCo cronies are, it is -- alas -- conceivable
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 07:23 AM by SpiralHawk
Let's have a look at the evidence. Bring it on.

It would hardly be the first BushCo Skull & Boner BLACK OP False Flag operation.

Sigh. How low the republicons have taken our USA, when this is even conceivable. Sigh.

8. Right. Not the first time.
Are you one of those who suscribes to the insane theory that 9/11 was orchestrated by Bush?

14. Another lead headed coincidence theorist.
You guys crack me up with your ridiculous attempts to explain everything away as mere coincidence.

Wouldn't the pnac crowd have needed to cause the equivalent of a 9-11 in order to get their war on if one hadn't have happened? They certainly thought so. In fact they stated in their famous document that exactly what they needed was another pearl harbor. And then, what a coincidence, just 9 months after Stupid takes office another pearl harbor just happens to happen! Proof that God loves the Neoclowns? Or what?

attack. I will be very suspicious of anything that happens between now and the elections!

if there's anything we've learned in the last 6 years is that the monsters will stop at nothing to accomplish what they are trying to accomplish. The better question is.. why don't you bewlieve it?

9. I don't have to believe wild conspiracies initiated from Syria ...
... to find credible reasons to distrust our government. We've had attacks on our embassies before -- did Clinton plan the ones under his administration?

33. I have no doubt about it.
I sincerely believe Syria is claiming the U.S. is behind the attack of it's own embassy.

but there's no way of knowing given both the Syrian govt's and neocon's penchant for secrecy and propaganda.

the Rethug message of the past few weeks leading up to 9/11 and Bushco's capacity for evil, I'll believe anything.

13. From the article
Edited on Thu Sep-14-06 08:06 AM by ck4829
A Baath party official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, told WorldNetDaily, "We in the government are 100 percent sure America was behind this attack, which is not the same as other attacks by Islamic groups."

http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=51942

When you see 'WorldNetDaily', you should know it's probably false.

19. Syria has NO reason to say this too right??
He explained, "Only the Americans can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria."

========================================================================================

I think he means:

"Only the SYRIANS can succeed in carrying out an attack just 200 meters from President Assad's residence in the most heavily guarded section of Syria."

Think about it. You can't even protest in Syria without prior gov't approval. How in the heck is the US going to get people that near the Presidential compound carrying weapons? The Syrian gov't knows EVERYTHING that goes on there.

It is too that all of the gunmen were killed by SYRIAN forces. That way, the world will never know the truth right?

24. Doesn't make
sense for the Syrian govt to attack the American embassy and blame it on America. That's like a double-double-bluff.

Makes more sense that it is either genuine terrorists or neocon assets doing a false flag attack (as per 9/11).

20. Whether or not WorldNetDaily is reliable...
Sadly, in the world of BushCo - you know, the one they pays journalists to fabricate stories, fights the highest court in the land for its God-given right to torture, spies on its citizens, opts out of the international court of justice and lies to get into a pointless war that's killed tens of thousands of people - such an action would hardly be beyond belief. There's a rebuilt building in the Mitte section of Berlin to prove there's a precedent for such an action by a tyrannical leader.

21. Hmm... Al-Ahram and Al-Quds both ran stories...
...yesterday about the Syrian government saying that American policies are behind the attacks. If they're also taking a direct MIHOP line, that's certainly a new wrinkle...

22. Bunch of bull...it was attacked because of secret cia prison...
Prisoners were transferred to Jordon and then onto Syria for "interrogation" according to the testimony of an innocent prisoner from Canada who says he was tortured.

I will look for the link and will add it to this thread.

OTTAWA - Washington is refusing to co-operate with the public inquiry into the case of Maher Arar, the Canadian citizen who was deported to Syria by the United States.

In a letter released Tuesday, the U.S. State Department says it will not provide any documents, or statements from American authorities involved the case.
