cheney blast - this is weird

[sls.stormyrider]

so by now I suspect you all heard about the missed attempt on Cheney "this morning". something strange is going on.

I set my alarm for 5AM so I can run before work. Monday morning, the radio station is talking about a bomb blast, and they think the VP is OK. I was too wiped out from my weekend skiing, so hit the snooze and went back to sleep. when I got up a while later, first thing I did was go on line to check it out. The headlines on the boston Globe web site were blocked out - just white boxes. No mention of anything.
this morning, I get back from my run and my wife is watching the news and talking about a late breaking story, details still coming in, but the Taliban tried to put a hit on Cheney. I'm thinkin' - wait, I heard about this yesterday.

One of 2 things is going on. Either I have some strange powers and can see the future in my dreams (unlikely), or the Feds put a lid on this story for a day until they knew the VP was OK and out of there.

Now that would hit the spot.

I say they put a lid on it for 24 hours.

its hard to say with Cheney.  The footage I saw this morning showed a very sketchy Afghani security force, with what looked like a bombed out security tower on the left side of the camera shot. 

I wouldn't be surprised if peeps were trying to bomb Cheney but also I wouldn't be surprised if this was made up or some kind of PR gig. 
I've been hearing reports that al-qaida has been gaining strength in Afghanistan recently, I'm sure we'll end up sending more troops there as well.

What's gaining most of my attention are the increased tensions w/ Iran, that we are finding Iranian operatives as well as ranking officials visiting members of the Iraqi parliment. 
Who knows how true any of this stuff really is but the bottomline is and remains, we are not welcomed in either country.

It's a staple in my house. The only cereal I'll eat. Anything else is a waste of crunch.

i was up late last night trying to puff myself to sleep (and this is pacific time) and all of the sudden this article was breaking news.  this AM when i woke up i couldn't find anything on it for a while, then it reappeared.  so yes, i too encountered this phenomenon.  maybe cheney was actually taken out and they had to release robot cheney #2 and it took a few hours to program or something.  cheney #1 had a rebuilt  heart and many other areas and behaved rather cyborgish, although couldn't aim a firearm.  check this page out - Health & Medical History of Richard "Dick" Cheney - http://www.doctorzebra.com/prez/a_cheney.htm

that and they knew about 9/11  :wink:

[rowjimmy]

A friend mentioned it to me @ 5:45 this morning on the train. He'd heard it before leaving his house probably around 5:15. I got online via my blackberry and found nothing until mid morning.

Apparently on the morning of 9/11 the Joint Chiefs of Staff were engaged in a live-fly exercise that was simulating hijacked aircraft in the NE sector.

coincidence?

Interestingly, the 9/11 Commission ommited 4 out of the 5 war games that occured that morning.

cover-up?
