For a 1961 episode of THE TWENTIETH CENTURY, Walter Cronkite visited Pearl Harbor with the Japanese spy who had tracked and reported U.S. Navy ship movements prior to the 1941 surprise attack. The visit was supposed to be a secret, but the former spy got drunk and revealed who he was to the locals. Cronkite had to quickly spirit the spy out of town before he was grabbed and beaten.

Why did Handjob vote against hr 5349?
>I heard they have suitcase nukes.
One line of reasoning concerning the lies of 9-11 and the ensuing decades of complete stupidity and madness is that this is the gun being held to the head of the United States. By the Chinese. With the whole dust up being traced back to Clinton's bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. If you look at the early months of W's first term as President. Before 9-11. Then there is the Hainan Island incident. The pieces of the puzzle start to fall in place for me. When looking at it this way. Chinese Navy submarine launched cruise missiles targeted Washington DC. One hit the Pentagon. The other malfunctioned and flew until it ran out of fuel over Shanksville PA.
In this model the invasion of Afghanistan makes sense. In an asymmetric warfare plausible deniability sort of way. Bagram Airbase. A one hour flight from China's nuclear production facilities. One other thing. For those that lived through it. And watched the US leaders on TV a lot. Did you also notice the excessive eye blinking? Bush even said America did not blink. Yet anon clearly remembers Bush, Rice and others. Seemed to be blinking a morse code message. Herridge was doing this just the other day also. Weird. Remember the Vietnam POW? Jeremiah Denton, a former prisoner of war (POW) in Vietnam, blinked out the word "T-O-R-T-U-R-E" in Morse code during a television interview in 1966.
>missing 2 trillion
Maybe it was an agreement with China? And the missing 2 trillion was, in part, a payoff to China for Belgrade? What if we agreed to do 9-11 in NYC as an act of contrition? And the Chinese betrayed the agreement by launching on DC anyway? Because they knew they would get away with it after the deal was greed to?
>Wasn't that Bill hitting Russia embassy
No, Chinese embassy.
The story changed to JDAMs. Original reporting was cruise missiles. And the CIA made an error in their map of what buildings were what. Some say it was done because they had pieces of the downed F-117 stealth fighter there. For years after 9-11 there was all this chatter about schools grading on a bell curve. Bell Grades.
