Pat Robertson's weirdest theory yet ..... I shit you not

Last edited Thu Dec 29, 2011, 01:11 AM - Edit history (1)

Just a little bit ago as I was channel surfing from ESPN and Football up to MSNBC and I hit
on Pat Robertson's 700 whack a doodle show and Pat spits out this theory:

Iran is building a missile base in Venezuela. The missiles will be armed with nuclear warheads.
And the reason Iran is doing this? They (Iran) want to have control over the Panama Canal.

I did Google on the missile base, looks like a story from last May. Most of the links look like RW sites or sources I don't recognize. As you put it here, though, from Pat's mouth, it sounds like he forgot his meds again today.

The Canal is getting pretty small for modern shipping; most that go through now have just inches to spare at the locks, and many cannot fit at all.

Cruise ship widths and canal dimensions have always been good fodder for sucker bets.

and the damned tiny thing has now reached critical mess. Pat is a life long shit stirring girly man who has never done an honest days work in his life. All he's ever done his entire life is sponge off of others and praise himself. He's a total blood sucker. He don't pray he preys!

Patty Robertson has a direct line of credit with the man upstairs and downstairs too. Three things you never want to fuck with...Patty, a rattlesnake and a condom with a hole in it! The Party Of Patty has an open line of forgivness, so it's okay for them to rob, rape, loot plunder, pillage and fornicate the Fido. The GOPers have GAWD paid off so anything goes, I spose! But that don't mean you should stop sending Father Patty your hard earned cash!

Really we don't have words to express how stupid this is.


So Iran is building a MISSLE base in order to send a missle airborne that would have a 20% chance of hitting its target.

It also would be easily identifiable and east to target.

Now why is that so stupid?

If you wanted to blow up the Panama Canal how would one do it?

100% accurate.

Unable to detect.

Do it for a few thousand dollars.

All you would have to do is put a bomb in a container and ship it through the canal.

It would be so easy. So Cheap. You don't need a missle.
