I didn't quite make my self clear, I suppose I'm tossing around the notion of how it might be possible to monitor that plane for ourselves, but of course that's a ridiculous notion. forgive me, I must have been day dreaming of actually being an empowered citizen. LOL! oh boy.. I'll go back to sleep now, wake me when this nightmare is over.

So what is the link between Bush and the Moonies? nt hack89 Jun 2014 #122

Are you effing kidding? Hard to believe any DU Dem could possibly claim they didn't know this. blm Jun 2014 #125

So because Obama is connected to the BFEE hack89 Jun 2014 #126

GooFY. You aren't even close to being funny. You are being transparent, though. blm Jun 2014 #143

Why did you bring up Bush when Obama is president? hack89 Jun 2014 #145

I replied to YOUR claim Bushes in Paraguay is a myth, and to the absurdity of your pretense blm Jun 2014 #147

Ok. Now explain what it has to do with Snowden hack89 Jun 2014 #148

I didn't say it did. I corrected YOUR reply about Bush and then about Bush/Moon blm Jun 2014 #149

I accept the connection between Bush and the Moonies hack89 Jun 2014 #155

Obama would have sent him to Bush owned property? nt. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #150

Nah. He would have sent him to Somalia. Maedhros Jun 2014 #158

This is just so difficult. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #159

Oh, I really have no idea where the plane would have gone, had Snowden been collected. Maedhros Jun 2014 #160

None of this, in any way, has anything to do with Snowden. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #162

I'd say it MIGHT be related to Snowden, but the article isn't conclusive. Maedhros Jun 2014 #163

How might the article be related to Snowden? NCTraveler Jun 2014 #164

I agree - it's hypothetical. But also completely within the realm of possibility. Maedhros Jun 2014 #165

Some in this thread are talking about it as if it were real. NCTraveler Jun 2014 #168

so this was done without Obama's knowledge? grasswire Jun 2014 #11

You're right. Obama had to have known. No way was a rendition plane sent out riderinthestorm Jun 2014 #13

this is intriguing, indeed grasswire Jun 2014 #14

I'm betting he knew nothing abou tthis n/t malaise Jun 2014 #33

I think authorization would have to come from the top. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #26

You could have put each of those links into a separate post. nt. Warren Stupidity Jun 2014 #132

Can you tell me unequivocally it wasn't there for Snowden? elias49 Jun 2014 #36

Can you tell me unequivocally it was? jeff47 Jun 2014 #37

Of course not. Just wondering elias49 Jun 2014 #39

this is the kind of story that doesn't require an open mind....it requires evidence... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #91

By the way, from one of your previous worries about "evidence" Pholus Jun 2014 #106

yeah right I am supposed to prove your premise? VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #109

No. You merely need to prove it IS a CT. Pholus Jun 2014 #118

NOOOO its CT unless YOU can prove this...you want me to prove a negative... VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #129

Keeping an open mind doesn't mean assuming the plane was for Snowden. (nt) jeff47 Jun 2014 #99

Pure fantasy LordGlenconner Jun 2014 #41

The article offers no proof of its assertions at all. Odd that people just buy it. stevenleser Jun 2014 #45

LMAO. Well done. Everyone in this thread who has bought this should be embarrassed. stevenleser Jun 2014 #65

I (stupidly) thought this OP was NanceGreggs Jun 2014 #74

True. Maybe the jet was flown from US to Europe to warm up the oil. HooptieWagon Jun 2014 #98
