Once again, the graf shown on MSM re the "checkpoint" & "high speed"

[karlrschneider]

I was away most of yesterday & today but saw an "animation" of the supposed roadblock/checkpoint - a view from above looked something like


Their graphic showed this as if the 'maze walls' would have been obvious, impenetrable and effective...so I have to wonder how anyone approaching this kind of ziz-zag would be travelling at "high speed."

It certainly looks to me as if it would be impossible to negotiate such a diversion at more than 3 or 4 miles per hour.

Did anybody else see this 'computer simulation' and have any comments about it?

1. I didn't see it, but it reminds me of Powell's presentation to the UN.

Childish and erroneous.

2. That's just it. This "HighSpeed...failed to slow down"story is not going

to hold up.


The more they stick to the story the harder it will be to convience most of America...if they let the story continue. By Monday 7am the "Media" will be given orders by the the white house to talk about Terrorist threats and scare the american people.

4. Time for another 'terra' alert maybe.......

If Reagan was a 'teflon president' somebody needs to get the formula for whatever slick stuff Chimp has on his ass because it could eliminate friction as we know it....

9. welcome to DU,

But don't be so quick. We have heard nothing but lies coming from mgmt in Iraq.Let's wait for the witness' to speak. If the soldiers did anything wrong, I'm sure it came from above,

10. the "official" story doesn't pass the smell test.

Why would the Italians attempt to plow through two barriers?

BTW, Welcome to DU!

11. The car wasn't speeding

There was no checkpoint.

Enjoy your stay. :)

Welcome to DU :hi: enjoy your stay

13. How does a car ram the second block without getting around the first?

And just what is their 'job'? To shoot anybody who drives?
Also, what about all the witnesses who say the incident was NOT at a checkpoint?

Thirdly, don't you have some homework to finish up?
