Tinfoil hat time

[Bgno64]

Now, if you were this president - you'd have to lose about 100 IQ points first - and the Congress was getting balky at sending more troops, and funding this never-to-end war, what's the one thing that could stifle the opposition, convince Congress not only to roll over and give you what you want in Iraq but to actually DEMAND war with Iran?

1. Dunno, but I have a question about "tinfoil hat" usage around here...

Oh yeah, WELCOME TO DU! :hi:

Not picking on you, just on tinfoil hat usage. The concept behind the tinfoil hat was that one was blocking brain waves so the government couldn't use its scifi gadgets to read your mind, thus picking up the fact that you knew too much, thus disappearing you. So why shout "TINFOIL HAT!" whenever you have something to hide...

Sorry, just a random observation. I'm late for work. Discuss.

(Again, not directed at you, Bgno64. Just something that amuses me. I'm easily amused.)

4. its just become a generic term for conspiracy theories around here

We could say "Grassy Knoll" time I guess but there is a better visual with tin foil hat.

7. I understand that, but still... Actually, brings up another tin foil hat theory.

But I'm not telling you, cause I don't want to be disappeared.

2. I'm not going to say it

to name a thing is to give it power.

6. A mad Iranian Abdullah Hussein BinLaden McTerror "shoots" the VP

After he "recovers", he spends the rest of his days at the "undisclosed" location. Condi is promoted to VP. The chimp would then have carte blanche to invade Iran because...This Time It's Personal!

Problems that this would cover:
1. gives justification for Iran war
2. gets insane dick out of the way (back behind the shadows)
3. puts Condi in the VP chair if she should decide to run against Hillary
4. shows that security is so weak that rabid measures to include curfews and random internment take place
5. guns are confiscated
6. all civil rights are suspended
7. the chimp declares himself Supreme Unitary Executive

8. Heck, I wouldn't go that far.

But you've got to think Cheney in particular is thinking how any sort of "terrorist attack" on the Homeland would be very beneficial for what it is he wants to do...

[itsmesgd]

10. plus he really wants to get out of the public light, especially after his recent CNN appearance

11. What, Cheney took him hunting?

:shrug:
