Liar, Liar...Trump's Pants are on Fire

“I thank God everyday that George W. Bush was our president on 9/11 and not Al Gore.”
- Senator Marco Rubio chastising Donald Trump's assertions at the last Republican debate

Last Saturday on the debate stage in South Carolina, presidential candidate Donald Trump adamantly stated during an altercation with fellow candidate Jeb Bush that no WMDs were found in Iraq. Saying that George W. Bush lied to to the American people in order to justify his going into Iraq, Trump went into a tirade of what amounts to nothing but far-left talking points and innuendos. But no matter the words said, the bottom line is that it was Donald Trump who lied not George W. Bush.

Now for a bit of history...Saddam Hussein never tried to hide the fact that he had chemical weapons...remember he openly used them against the Kurds for all the world to see. And Saddam had some of these weapons...including 2,500 sarin-filled 122mm rockets...stored at the Al-Muthana Complex...the very complex that coalition warplanes bombed on February 8, 1991, damaging or destroying the rockets stored there.

Also, as per a New York Times report from last year, between 2004 to 2011, both American and coalition troops found over 5,000 chemical weapons in Iraq...weapons that included warheads, shells, and 'aviation' bombs, and that on at least a half dozen occasions our troops were exposed to chemical weapons during 2003's Operation Iraqi Freedom. And know that these weapons were left over from Iraq's eight-year war with Iran in the 1980s... weapons that were not accounted for by UN inspectors after the 1991 Persian Gulf war.

And ignored by Trump is the fact that as Operation Iraqi Freedom came to an end, 400+ 122mm al-Borak warheads packed with sarin gas with a concentration of close to 25% purity were 'purchased' by CIA operatives through a secret Iraqi 'intermediary'...purchased to help assure that old chemical weapons remaining in Iraq did not fall into the hands of terrorists or militant anti-government forces. And with sarin being one of the most deadly of all nerve gasses...so deadly that just one to 10 milliliters on the skin is fatal...warheads with a concentration of up to 25% purity becomes lethal, and would indeed classify as a weapon of mass destruction.

And lest Trump forget that discovered in Iraq during the same above mentioned time period was first, a 152mm binary sarin artillery projectile containing a 40% concentration of sarin, which insurgents tried to use as an IED...an Improvised Explosive Device...and second, thousands of barrels of pre-cursor chemicals buried in camouflaged barrels labeled 'insecticide' were found near Iraqi military installations. And of special note here is that with the discovery of this one single binary weapon means there is always the possibility that more binary weapons...whose ingredients stay active longer than conventional chemical weapons...still exist undiscovered in Iraq today.

And why are binary chemical weapons so dangerous besides their having a long 'shelf life'...it's because the toxic agent in its 'active state' is not contained as a whole within the weapon, but instead is in the form of two chemical precursors, physically separated within said weapon, with the precursors designed to be less toxic than the agent as a whole...that is until they are mixed during launch. And this design, while just as deadly as a standard chemical weapon, allows for the weapon to be more easily transported...in other words more easily transported to high density population areas.

But Trump said there were no chemical weapons found in Iraq, so I guess since Trump claims he's always right about everything...there were none...tangible proof be damned.

During this same debate Donald Trump also blamed George W. Bush for 9/11 after Marco Rubio said that Bush had "kept us safe" on his watch. Those three words had Trump shooting back with, "How did he keep us safe when the World Trade Center came down?" adding that, "I lost hundreds of friends, the World Trade Center came down during the reign of George Bush...That is not safe, Marco, that is not safe." Well it seems that once again Donald Trump needs a bit of a history lesson as to who is the true cause of 9/11...and it is the very man whose permission he needed to run against Hillary...none other than Bubba himself...William Jefferson Clinton.

But first let's preface it with the undeniable fact that after 9/11 changed our country forever...and remember that 9/11 happened a mere eight months into the George W. Bush presidency...Bush's ensuing actions helped to improve security in these United States. And if you want proof just understand that there have been no attacks of 9/11's magnitude anywhere within our country's borders since then. And if truth be told Trump's blaming Bush for the attack and making it a pivotal part of the 2016 presidential primary campaign is just another move to try and cover for the fact that he, Donald Trump, knows absolutely nothing about national security or foreign policy issues. But hey, he's doing what he does best...he's calculatingly and deliberately dragging the level of political discourse down yet again, and the 'Trump-drunk' are lapping it up just like Obama's sheeple do every time Obama opens up his big lying mouth as well.

And so it seems that Donald Trump and Barack HUSSEIN Obama have yet another thing in common...they both have made lying into an art form, and sadly the uniformed and the misinformed could care less.

But now for that bit of a history lesson and hopefully Trump and his blind-following Trumpers might learn something. The events of September 11, 2001...the three almost simultaneous attacks on the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania...did indeed change our great nation forever, but they were events that could have been prevented if only previous Democratic President Bill Clinton had done his job as Commander-in-Chief and as steward of America's ship.

“The World Trade Center came down because Bill Clinton didn't kill Osama bin-Laden when he had the chance to kill him.” - more of Marco Rubio's words said during the last Republican debate.

And how right Rubio is for Bill Clinton had many opportunities to kill or capture Osama bin-Laden, but passed on opportunity after opportunity as each presented itself. In fact, 9/11 happened because al-Qaeda was allowed to grow stronger after each act of terrorism they committed went either unpunished or received just a slap on the wrist from the Clinton administration. Let's start with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing...a dry run for 9/11...that killed six innocent people and left one thousand injured. Clinton did not even have the attack 'officially' investigated until two years later after military investigators found that Osama bin-Laden had been in charge of said attack.

Now when you remember those facts, remember too that when the news broke about bin-Laden, the government of Sudan told Clinton they could “get bin-Laden” if he wanted to bring charges against him. But what did Clinton say...“Osama bin-Laden is not a threat to the United States,” thus knowingly and willing letting bin-Laden get away with murder. And who did he take action against instead of bin-Laden...in 1998...five years after the first WTC bombing...Bill Clinton bombed a Sudanese aspirin factory, which he claimed held chemical weapons but is a claim that has never proven to be true, killing hundreds of innocent factory workers. In other words, Bill Clinton made Sudan the fall guy to cover for his own lazier-faire attitude towards bin-Laden and al-Qaeda.

And al-Qaeda and bin-Laden were emboldened and grew stronger.

And lest we forget that after George H. Bush defeated Saddam Hussein in 1991, Clinton ordered UN officials to be stationed in Iraq to make sure that Saddam would be incapable of creating WMDs, but also remember that his orders were quickly rescinded when he told said UN officials to leave the country immediately, thus giving Saddam more than enough time to finish his chemical weapons building...which we now know he did.

Now for another chance Clinton missed to get bin-Laden occurred on August 7, 1998, when explosives hidden in a pickup truck wrecked the U.S. embassy in Nairobi, Kenya, while another bomb went off at the U.S. mission in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, and did so almost at the same time. And what was Clinton's response to those acts of terror...acts that killed 224 innocent people amongst them 12 Americans and had 4000 others affected with non-life threatening injuries...not a damn thing even with those two bombings marking the birth of Osama bin-Laden's al-Qaeda as the premier global terrorist network. And while four men with ties to al-Qaeda and the Egyptian Islamic Jihad were convicted by a U.S. federal court for their role in the attacks and are serving life sentences, Bill Clinton had nothing to do with either their capture or trial, and has remained mum on the subject to this day.

And bin-Laden and al-Qaeda again got away with murder and grew even stronger.

And let's not forget that the bombing with military grade explosives of the Navy guided-missile destroyer USS Cole in Aden Harbour, Yemen, on October 12, 2000, killed 17 U.S. sailors and injured 39 others and that it too happened on Bill Clinton's watch, with Osama bin-Laden's al-Qaeda claiming responsibility for the attack. And what was Clinton's response, "If, as it now appears, this was an act of terrorism, it was a despicable and cowardly act. We will find out who was responsible and hold them accountable.” “If this was an attack of terrorism...” a US war ship is bombed and all Bubba can say is “If...” And while four Yemenis and two Egyptians were caught, tried, and convicted for the bombing by Yemeni courts...not U.S. courts as should have been the case...Osama bin-Laden was not one of them, and Bill Clinton's lack of a tangible response for the bombing can be thanked for that.

And so like twice before Osama bin-Laden and al-Qaeda again got away with murder, and thanks to Bill Clinton not George W. Bush, 9/11 was the ultimate outcome.

So while Donald Trump continues to have melt downs and whines ad-nausem about those who tell the truth about his poor debate performance last Saturday, and as he continues to spew lies about his fellow candidates and insinuates that everyone in the world...including past presidents...is a liar but him, paranoia has become the hallmark of Trump's nothing but reality show campaign. And those pesky little things know as facts prove it...much to Trump's and his Trumper's chagrin. So maybe now with Trump's lies exposed common sense will triumph over empty-suit bloviations...'We the People' can only hope so.

Why don't we just ask the NSA where the plane is

By: Diane Sori

Movements that "are consistent with deliberate action by someone on the plane."
Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak

Two so-called 'innocent' Iranians fly to Malaysia but NOT from Iran. They go from Tehran to Qatar where they purchase two passports that were stolen in Thailand, bought through a Thai travel agent and an Iranian middleman, that takes them to Malaysia to get a flight to Beijing then on to Amsterdam with the final destination being Germany. Two passports...one an Italian passport used by Delavar Seyed Mohammadreza, 29...the other an Austrian passport used by Pouria Nour Mohammad Mehrdad, 18...who then fly from Qatar to Kuala Lumpur, where they board Malaysia Airlines Flight 370. And why Germany...the younger Iranian 'supposedly' has a mother in Germany who claims her son was on his way to Germany to seek asylum...guess the new route to European asylum is through China. But the question is why NOT travel a direct route from Iran to Germany with a valid passport which can easily be booked online for about $1000 instead of dealing with stolen passports.

Why indeed even as Interpol Chief Ronald Noble said it's believed the two are NOTHING but illegal immigrants who went through Kuala Lumpur to reach Europe, and are "probably not terrorists."

Probably nots do NOT cut it in today's post 9/11 world...period.

And NO mention has been made or attention focused on the Chinese Uighur muslim man with flight simulation training...flight simulation training just like some of the hijackers of 9/11 infamy had. Instead attention is being focused on the pilot and co-pilot as the plane's disappearance has now been ruled by Malaysian government officials to be a deliberate, criminal act, and NO accident.

But with NO reports or evidence linking either the pilot or the co-pilot to any wrongdoing, isn't it odd that time is being wasted on this wild goose chase for why NOT stay focused on the two Iranians and the Chinese Uighur muslim. I'll tell you why...first, as to the Iranians, any attention focused on Iran could jeopardize the kumbaya warm fuzzies the Obama administration is embracing after the Geneva Accords to help paint Iran as a nation wanting to join the world community by stopping their quest for nuclear weapons. And we know that has as much truth to it as all Obama's birth certificates combined do. Second, China has become a world player in the trade markets...in the jobs market...in the money lending market...and we and other nations are so much in debt to them that we cannot afford to point fingers at them as they have us and the others under its promissory 'note due' thumb.

But these are the very nations that need to be under scrutiny as isn't it odd that now the search perimeter has been expanded all the way to the so-called 'stan countries' including Pakistan and to Iran as well. A search perimeter that encompasses large areas of the muslim world...as in most of the countries that support or gave birth to terrorism. And with terror analysts saying that Malaysia is home to people who are operatives of militant islamic groups, isn't it odd that Malaysia (to date) has NOT been targeted in any terror attacks. But China has indeed been facing problems with its muslim population in its far west regions... muslims who complain to any and all who will listen about their perceived Chinese repression of their religious rights. And tying these two countries together is the fact that since 2011, Malaysia has deported at least 17 muslims...probably more...who were using fake passports to travel back and forth to China.

And what of the plane itself...based on pings to satellites and unconfirmed reports of radar hits, the plane apparently flew between known flight paths on its way to Europe or the Middle East. This seems to hold true based on a 2:15 am report of a radar hit of a plane to the west instead of north of Malaysia over the strait. The plane was unidentified, but with all other planes accounted for what else but Flight 370 could this be. And if this was indeed the plane it would have to come down eventually somewhere...but where.

The first scenario as to where sends chills up one's spine. Fact...this jet needs 3,600 feet to land and many airports in both friendly and unfriendly countries have runways of this length, but 5000+ feet is needed for takeoff. If this plane was hijacked, as most experts and Malaysian government officials now agree that it has been, it obviously was done for some very nefarious purpose...and with Iranians on board it must be remembered that there is NOTHING more nefarious than Iran's plans for Israel. So did this jet after being secured by hijackers land in and be welcomed by some terror supporting country for retrofitted with a WMD to be dropped over Israel. Could be, but if so searchers need to focus their attention on airports that have suddenly added length to their takeoff runways.

The second scenario is that even if the plane was indeed hijacked that does NOT mean it made it to its intended destination...therefore it could have gone down over water. And over water there is very little radar coverage, meaning if the plane was flying at a low level with radars NOT being able to see over the horizon beyond 25 miles, and with NO one searching flying the sort of airborne AWACS radar planes that could spot low flying targets, the plane could very well fly unnoticed until it crashed, again unnoticed, into the sea. 

So Flight 370 either crashed into the water, crashed somewhere on land, or landed someplace nobody suspects or is looking for as mentioned above.

And while some say that if this was hijacking of the terrorist kind why hasn't credit been taken. That is quite simple to answer... terrorists... jihadis...take claim only after a successful event has occurred NOT before and NEVER while an act is in progress.

So as the mystery of Malaysian Flight 370 continues unanswered I still say let's look at the possibility...as per LOST...that a time continuum was crossed over as right now that is as good a possibility as anything else we have.

Op-ed:                                                                                                                          Allegorical circles, Egypt, Israel, and an impotent American Congress                                                                       By: Diane Sori 

Yesterday I was asked why I’ve recently been blogging about the happenings in Egypt when we have so many problems here at home and the answer to that is simple…what happens in Egypt could very well be the completion of the circle that acts as a catalyst for change here in America and helps assure Israel’s survival.

The disaster known as the Arab Spring has in NO way altered our interests in the Middle East for when all the bravado is stripped away it remains oil that fuels our Middle East policies for oil is the life-blood to which our government is addicted. Oil and terrorism…terrorism mostly bred and based in the Middle East spreading its hate and destruction all the way to our shores. Oil, terrorism, and weapons of mass destruction…WMDs existing in the Middle East that if perchance fall into the wrong hands will be NOT only used against us but will most assuredly be used against Israel.

Israel…where our moral obligations and commitments lie binding us to them even more so than where our religious commitments and loyalties lie for Israel is the only true democracy in an area of the world riddled with dictators, mullahs, and autocrats desperate for power.

A circle of oil, terrorism, and WMDs that starts in the Arab Middle East, keeps drawing America in, and ends in Israel. And the Arabs know that an America-Israel alliance exists for it’s Israel we exchange military doctrine with…it’s Israel we exchange counter-terrorism information and intelligence with…and it’s Israel that we turn to for technological aid in helping to solve some of the world’s most troubling technical and strategic problems.

Israel…the country America turns to and the country that turns in kind to America for support is the very country that is still trying to remove the knife Obama put in her back…a knife dug deep as he sides with his ‘brethren’ over Israel every chance he gets. And that is the reality of the Middle East today for if America does NOT support her allies and friends there is NO need for her enemies to make peace, thus allowing the Middle East to stay on fire.

And so the Middle East policies we have in place under this president most definitely need to be changed. In the past US allegiances in the Middle East depended on Arab governments whose policies did NOT reflect their citizens’ opinions…for we depended on and supported dictators but dictators who supported and were friendly to America and who at least tolerated Israel’s existence. And then the Arab Spring happened and those dictators fell to the people but NOT always to the ‘good guys’ as witnessed by last year’s events in Egypt now being corrected in ancient streets throughout their land.

But sadly for all involved with those NOT ‘good guys’ is where Barack HUSSEIN Obama’s loyalties lie…but NOT the loyalties of the American people. And that’s why Israel is the completion of the circle for if Israel falls America as a superpower will fall with her.

And so we would be wise to NOT engage in a struggle to hold back the Egyptian people from shaping their own destiny, and that means Barack HUSSEIN Obama must NOT get us involved in the internal struggle in a place we should NOT be… unless and only unless Israel’s survival is in jeopardy for Israel can hold the wolves at the door at bay if she knows America is there if she needs us.

This approach would be a major departure from policies initiated under Obama…policies where terrorism is tolerated as our enemies have suddenly and miraculously become our so-called friends…policies that have allowed an American president...America’s very own ‘enemy within’...to throw our true friends and allies aside. The ongoing events in Egypt speak volumes as does American support for Israel. Muslims hate America simply because the American people support Israel, and that hate in turn morphs into terrorism. Obama wants cooperation with bast*rds who hate Israel... who hate America…cooperation with bast*rds who hate both as much as he does.

And while we know that Arab governments do need to be more accepting of the wishes of their people and NOT just cater to the wishes of the religious extremists and zealots in their midst, we in turn then have to make our Middle East policies more accepting to the Arab people NOT just to the Arab rulers. But in doing so we must NEVER…I repeat NEVER…put the Arabs wants and needs before Israel and her need to survive as a Jewish nation.

And that brings the circle back to Egypt, a partner in the Camp David Accords, and the birthplace of the Muslim Brotherhood…all tied together and precariously held in place by a knot that’s coming undone thanks to Barack HUSSEIN Obama…the most traitorous of men.

Under Hosni Mubarak the Camp David Accords were honored and Israel was at peace with Egypt…Israel was safe and the Egyptian Coptic Christians were safe…beheadings were rare if at all. Enter center stage the Obama supported Muslim Brotherhood puppet President Mohamed Morsi and the Camp David Accords (where land taken in war was given back for peace) became tenuous at best under a new president who called Jews the spawn of pigs, and whose ‘soldiers’ slaughtered Coptic Christian children at whim while laughing at their cries echoing in the night. And throw in a dose of new found reality that Morsi and his Brotherhood kin had a hand in Benghazi…Obama and his brethren's bloody hands are all over Benghazi…and the circle joins in completion as the knot holding all together falls to the ground.

And all is exposed as Egypt is angry…Israel is on edge…and America stands by as Egyptians take to the streets to right an oh so wrong.  And sadly, America’s Congressional leaders impotently bow their heads in shame in fear of the race card being used against them, and so do NOTHING to expose the one who continues to fuel the hate smoldering on the surface of the Middle East...the very one who might be surprised that what the Egyptian people started just might have ignited a fire in the belly of 'We the People'...and that fire will come to a head in November 2014.

Syria…bad guys vs. badder guys and soon to be our war
By: Diane Sori

Well it seems like Barack HUSSEIN Obama has screwed our country yet again as it appears he’s getting or already gotten us directly involved in the Syrian civil war…a war we have NO business being in as both sides in this conflict are NOT what you’d call angels…for in the Syrian conflict there are NO good vs. bad guys…there’s only bad guys vs very bad guys.

And the bad guys are Bashar al-Assad’s government forces, who while secular for the most part (and who Christians were relatively safe living under), have been accused of gassing their own people vs. maybe even badder guys, the so-called rebel opposition…rebel insurgent terrorists…composed for the most part of islamic jihadists...cowards who won't show their faces who have direct ties to al-Qaeda and other terrorist groups, including Obama favorite, the Muslim Brotherhood.

And as (bad guy) Putin supplies Syria with weapons and (badder guy) Ahmadinejad sends Revolutionary Guards to advise and shore up al-Assad’s forces, our very own personal bad guy…our miserable excuse of a president..has taken it upon himself to put us smack dab in the middle of a place ‘We the People’ don’t want to be for he’s decided all on his own that Bashar al-Assad must go, because he says al-Assad has lost all legitimacy and that his overthrow will happen in just a matter of time anyway.

Hmmm…Obama says al-Assad has lost all legitimacy and must go…how about if he looks in a mirror and sees his scandal laden self losing all legitimacy here in our own country…maybe Obama needs to tell himself to go.

But I digress…

So now our ‘leading from behind president’ has decided to put our country in a position where we’re going to aid the very (badder guy) terrorists whose ultimate goal it is to kill us all, for Barack HUSSEIN Obama is ‘considering ‘giving’ these al-Qaeda backed rebel insurgent terrorists communication equipment, armor, night-vision goggles, and vehicles to aid in their battle against (bad guy) al-Assad’s government forces.

And that sentiment comes from Caitlin Hayden, spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council.

Obama is also considering ‘giving’ the (badder guy) rebel insurgent terrorists guns and other weapons. I guess this is what he meant when he said that we’d only give ‘humanitarian aid’ to the Syrian people…just like the F-16s and Abrams tanks we ‘give’ to Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood, an Obama claimed ‘humanitarian aid’ package.

Obama is ‘considering giving the (badder guy) rebel insurgent terrorists…’consider giving’…those words in and of themselves would be laughable if it wasn’t so serious for Barack HUSSEIN Obama has already been (in my opinion) illegally shipping weapons from Libya to the rebel insurgent terrorists in Syria all along…arming them as in Benghazi…Benghazi…all about that very weapons running operation gone horribly wrong.

Obama is considering arming the rebel insurgents by ‘giving’ them weapons with the key words being ‘giving them’ as in NO payment for said weapons is needed. Barack HUSSEIN Obama is ‘giving’ weapons away to those out to kill us while making Israel (our ally) pay for any weapons coming from us…as in ‘giving’ the rebel insurgent terrorists expensive weapons while our county is on the verge of economic collapse…as in we have NO money for added security for our embassies or money to upgrade their existing weapons, but we can ‘give’ away high ticket-price weapons to our enemies…and both the Syrian bad guys and the Syrian badder guys are our enemies.

And the kicker in all this is that in just a few weeks a joint US-Jordanian “Eager Lion 2013” military exercise is due to begin and last two months. And with the arrival of the US force in Jordan NOT directly related to regular scheduled exercises but decided upon at an emergency May 31st meeting at the Pentagon…a meeting attended by top military brass and civilian Defense Department officials…officials including rebel insurgent terrorist sympathizer Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel.

So with Jordan sharing a border with Syria and being the point of arrival for thousands upon thousands of Syrian refugees, just a few days ago a large American military force disembarked at the southern Jordanian port of Aqaba..a military force ready for deployment on Jordan’s Syrian border…a military force who came equipped with F-16 fighters and Patriot missiles.

And that folks ain’t NO standard military exercise…that reeks of us on the verge of getting involved…deeply involved.

Obama originally claimed that we would NOT get involved in Syria’s civil war unless it was proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that WMDs were used. Well there has been NO definitive proof and yet Barack HUSSEIN Obama is determined to involve us…determined to fight the rebel insurgent terrorists battles for them…determined for American blood to again be shed…determined to side once again with his islamic brethren.

Oh we’re involved in Syria alright and Americans will once again die in a foreign land as Barack HUSSEIN Obama takes our country into hell for the Syrian fire he helps flame might just set the entire Middle East ablaze.
