British Airways Cancels 2 London Flights

JILL LAWLESS

Associated Press


LONDON - A much-disrupted British Airways flight from London to Washington, D.C. has been canceled again over security fears, the airline said Thursday.

British Airways said Flight 223 from Heathrow to Washington's Dulles Airport would not fly on the coming Sunday. Monday's Flight 263 from London to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia also was scrapped.

Smirk's approval rating goes below 50% and here come the terra lerts, WMD blather.

Note to Boy Who Cried Wolf: Your credibility is lagging.

1. What I want to know is...

what is the deal with flight 223? According to the news this morning this is the 8th time it's been cancelled. Why this specific flight? :crazy:

6. Could it be...

competing with a US Airways flight that needs the business?

Strange that ... the power of "Keepa you mouth SHUT" seems to be on
the up & up these days ...

4. Why aren't more people as enraged about this as I am?

9/11 happens, Bush blames intelligence, says "its not my fault".

Bush lies his way into war, Bush blames intelligence, says "its not my fault".

But now suddenly in these instances we are to not only trust this "bad" intelligence, but also give Bush the credit?

Fuck him.

Why didn't he cancel those 4 flights on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001?

This really pisses me off.

5. I wish I could be dismissive of this behavior

but I keep noticing how, suddenly, there are all these supposed threats that are specific enough to cancel flights, but the threat level stays yellow and they let the airlines handle it. And then I'm always asking myself where this intelligence or chatter or whatever they're calling it on a given day comes from - as if the terrorists sit around and yack about their plans. Who blabs? Every day that goes by and there isn't another attack, I'm relieved. I watch the water getting hotter and the numbers going down and wonder when it's going to happen.

7. somehow they are trying to make the # 223 apparent to us sheeple

they want to sublimnally plant 223 in our minds :shrug:

i even saw that # on a bradley vechile in bagdad last month during the first canceled flights...camera was focused dead on the back of the bradley with huge # 223 across the entire back of it. is bushco's OSP planning another "pearl harbor" on feb 23? :shrug:

9. I am so glad someone

finally spoke it out loud. I thought I was just being my paranoid self :tinfoilhat: but everytime that number comes up I wonder just a little more. Someone on a news show this morning (don't remember, I switch around too much) even asked why 223 so many times. Very strange.
