11 Missing Libyan Airliners Creates Fear of Another 9/11

I love the way that is worded. "Creates fear". How perfectly this describes the current right wing media machine these days!

Dadgummit, I need to get my gun and go to the nearest public restaurant and open carry to feel better.

The sourcing used by Gertz is Michael Rubin, a "counterterrorism specialist" from the American Enterprise Institute.

AEI is a well known right-wing neo con "think tank" with all the neo con hawks that support aggression and include names in their leadership like Wolfowitz, Bolton, Gingrich and Cheney.

Tells ya what you need to know.

Algerian reports of jihadist attack threat using commercial aircraft stolen from Libya unlikely to be credible

Algerian reports of jihadist attack threat using commercial aircraft stolen from Libya unlikely to be credible - IHS Jane s 360

If only Gertz had read Janes...

So the risk is that a stolen plane is going to fly across the Atlantic, unnoticed, undetected, arousing no suspicion, and crash into an American building?

Call Jack Bauer!!!!!!!!!

There's ELEVEN Missing Planes!!

You'd think CNN would be all the fuck over this.

Times Eleven.

After seeing how they ignored Benghazi with all the threats and attacks leading up to the 9/11 attack, it's clear that this administration doesn't see radical Muslims as a problem.

I am still vomiting over the video of Obama telling the Muslim Brotherhood that he's proud to be their partner. A president who chooses other countries over the interests of the U.S. should be tried for treason. No matter what he does, the liberals defend him and blame Bush. Obama isn't expected to actually do anything.

They don't see it as a problem, or their solution to the problem isn't to make it worse and exacerbate the situation by being all gungho and cocky?
Bush's inability to control Iraq, his desire to see Islam as the new common enemy, his balls up of Afghanistan, among other things have led to extremist Islam being far more dangerous now that it was 15 years ago.

Yeah, I say the same thing about Global warming.

lol CNN could do a month on each one and that's pretty much a year of programming.

If we're lucky, this time around they'll aim their planes at golf courses.

And if there are TV's on golf courses, King Putt may even find out there are 11 missing planes...

Maybe the planes were moved to Syria to be used to transport the WMD's back to Iraq. lol

snopes.com Missing Planes :

Seeking truth in stir of 11 missing / stolen commercial airliners from the Libyan airport during the fall of Tripoli.


Origins: In early August 2014, some North African bloggers began to spread stories that several commercial airliners were missing from the Tripoli International Airport during or shortly after the facility was taken over by Zintan militia forces earlier in the summer. Later that month translations of the blog posts began to be picked up by news outlets in Western Europe and passed on as fact rather than gossip; by early September those tales of translations of blogs had spread to the United States under the guise of real news.

The use of airplanes as terrorist weapons in 2001 makes it all too easy for us to anticipate their being used that way again. And despite denials from all sides — the airlines who are not missing any planes, the Libyan transport ministry, and the anti-government forces in control of the airport — the tales have found a ready audience among a populace already on edge in anticipation of the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks.

However, there have been no statements from the State Department, the Department of Defense, Homeland Security, or any other authority warning of stolen airliners. The national threat level has not been raised. Algerian and Moroccan military and air defense, already on high alert due to the unrest just across their borders with Libya, would undoubtedly have noticed multiple flights of unidentified passenger aircraft.

The terrorists stole the airplanes, but then they abandoned them as useless when they found out they were all on the no-fly list.
