Just worked out why the 1st Battalion 265 Air Defense Artillery have been brought to DC
http://www.wesh.com/news/13949580/detail.html

So,

This has been bugging me since it was announced. The tinfoilers such as Prison Planet are screaming "false flag attack", and for a while they had me worried.

Today`s rhetoric from Bush however has convinced me that an attack on Iran is imminent, by imminent I mean before Congress reconvenes. Any attack will produce a massive public outcry which will be focused on DC.

These troops aren`t there to protect you the people, they are there to protect Bush from you the people. It`s the only thing that makes sense.

There is no doubt that Bush wants to attack Iran, the question is, will the military allow him to do it? There are many studies that show that Iran, in possession of Sunburn weapons, could destroy the US navy if provoked.

Either way, I personally feel, that as we did with Nolaaid, it is time for everyone to kick the fuck off. Email every news outlet, your senators, your congressmen, tell them that you will regard an unauthorised attack on Iran as a war crime, and if they don`t do something to stop it, you will hold every media outlet and politician responsible.

Will it make a difference? Who knows, but at least you can say you tried everything in your power to stop this criminally insane evil demon posing as the president of the United States of America...

Remember, the one thing that Bush fears, is you the people, for all our sakes, I feel it is time to make that Bush choose between serving out his time and disappearing into the sunset, or to face the wrath of you the people...

Peace

1. With the possible exception of the West Point choir,
I can't think of a more ineffective crowd control measure than an ADA battalion. :rofl:

Edited on Tue Aug-28-07 10:38 PM by percussivemadness
ridiculing it and doing nothing is far worse....

or are you saying Bush isn`t going to order an attack on Iran?

if that`s not what you are saying, what are you going to do about it?

other than make nonsensical, unfunny asinine remarks obviously..Read a lot of Oscar Wilde do you?

Peace

7. instead of working out tinfoil theories, did you consider the fact that its a normal rotation?
DC has had air defense provided by air national guard units since before 9/11. IN particular, starting in 1998 (before chimpy) a detachment from the Air National Guard was deployed to Langley AFB to serve as part of Washington DC's air defense. That mission continued until the fall of 2006. Now the deployments are being rotated on a one year basis. The 265th is a Florida Air National Guard Unit is simply the latest to deploy. Suggestions that this has anything to do with Iran or with intimidating Congress are simply tinfoil nonsense.

Here's a link about an earlier deployment to DC: http://www.ngb.army.mil/news/archives/2006/12/121306-Cap_Air_Defense.aspx
