You could have said, "Thanks for the link" and the thread would then have gone on to a discussion of the topic. But no. You had to be a dork.

You have a real talent for this. There are times, and this is one of them, you remind me of *beep* Nixon.


Yeah. EFL attains a new low. Dude is nice enough to provide him a link and he's somehow the ahole?

No, but you not putting the link in the OP is a *you* problem. Clark had every right to post it, and was sarcastic. Is that OK? You bet your ass. Why? Because you should have. When you didn't, you appeared to be acting like a child.


He was petulant and childish and you defend it, all over a link that was left out only because I didn't know how to find it, so posted the location where you all could find the video?

That's about as stupid an excuse as I've heard on these forums.

And look, mindmetoo is here, too! Hmmm... who are we missing? Your e-mail tree not quite working full bore tonight, boys? Not yet the full Faction. Pretty damned scared of the issue, eh?

"You didn't link! "Wah, wah, wah!!!!"
"I couldn't find the link so, I told you where the video was!"
"Liar, liar, pants on fire!! You just wanted us to have to click the mouse more! Wah-wah-wah!!"
"Chirst, there's an issue regarding national security and how well th security services work together here!"
"The link! The link! Wah-wah-wahh!!!"
"Wake up! The head of a spy agency just told us 9/11 was PREVENTABLE, for Jiminy Crickets!!"
"The link! The link! The liiiiiiiiiiink! We can't HEEEEEEAAR you!"
"My god... they've gone insane."

Petty, the lot of you.

Wow, Keane, you have so much rage and anger. He posted a link, that I wouldn't have bothered to find if he didn't post. Maybe a thank you to Clark is in order.

He was an ass about it. So, um, maybe not. Why don't you ride his arse for being petty about a link he had no trouble finding BECAUSE HE WAS SENT TO THE CORRECT LOCATION IN THE FIRST PLACE.

As for anger, sorry, wrong tree. The petty things don't bother me. They're cute. Caustic, but cute.

Yes, stop digging. Abandon what has become yet another BLT-abomination and move on with your pitiable life.

I disagree. Keep digging. It's too much fun watching you have a meltdown.

Candidates blast 'shocking' Ahmadinejad Ground Zero request

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is scheduled to speak before the UN General Assembly in New York City next week.



(CNN) � Several presidential candidates demanded officials reject a request from Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to visit the site of the World Trade Center attack, calling the idea �a disgrace� and �shockingly audacious�.

New York Police Commissioner Ray Kelly told reporters Wednesday Ahmadinejad has asked to visit Ground Zero when he is New York next week for the UN General Assembly. Police later issued a statement saying the request was being denied, but reports said the Iranian mission was still pursuing the idea.

Iran has never been "connected" to the attacks of September 11, 2001 but candidates from both parties say there's plenty of "other reasons" not to allow it.

Wouldn't a photo of him at Ground Zero look amazing on the cover of the Tehran Gazette?

9/11 Commission Finds Ties Between al-Qaeda and Iran
By Adam Zagorin and Joe Klein

Next week's much anticipated final report by a bipartisan commission on the origins of the 9/11 attacks will contain new evidence of contacts between al-Qaeda and Iran�just weeks after the Administration has come under fire for overstating its claims of contacts between al-Qaeda and Saddam Hussein's Iraq.

A senior U.S. official told TIME that the Commission has uncovered evidence suggesting that between eight and ten of the 14 "muscle" hijackers�that is, those involved in gaining control of the four 9/11 aircraft and subduing the crew and passengers�passed through Iran in the period from October 2000 to February 2001. Sources also tell TIME that Commission investigators found that Iran had a history of allowing al-Qaeda members to enter and exit Iran across the Afghan border. This practice dated back to October 2000, with Iranian officials issuing specific instructions to their border guards�in some cases not to put stamps in the passports of al-Qaeda personnel�and otherwise not harass them and to facilitate their travel across the frontier. The report does not, however, offer evidence that Iran was aware of the plans for the 9/11 attacks.

The senior official also told TIME that the report will note that Iranian officials approached the al-Qaeda leadership after the bombing of the USS Cole and proposed a collaborative relationship in future attacks on the U.S., but the offer was turned down by bin Laden because he did not want to alienate his supporters in Saudi Arabia.

The Iran-al Qaeda contacts were discovered and presented to the Commissioners near the end of the bipartisan panel's more than year-long investigation into the sources and origins of the 9/11 attacks. Much of the new information about Iran came from al-Qaeda detainees interrogated by the U.S. government, including captured Yemeni al-Qaeda operative Waleed Mohammed bin Attash, who organized the October 2000 attack on the USS Cole, and from as many as 100 separate electronic intelligence intercepts culled by analysts at the NSA. The findings were sent to the White House for review only this week. But Commission members have been hinting for weeks that their report would have some Iran surprises. As the 9/11 Commission's chairman, Thomas Kean, said in June, "We believe....that there were a lot more active contacts, frankly, with Iran and with Pakistan than there were with Iraq."

These findings follow a Commission staff report, released in June, which suggested that al-Qaeda may have collaborated with Hezbollah and its Iranian sponsors in the 1996 bombing of the Khobar Towers, a key American military barracks in Saudi Arabia. Previously, the attack had been attributed only to Hezbollah, with Iranian support. A U.S. indictment of bin Laden filed in 1998 for the bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa said al-Qaeda "forged alliances . . . with the government of Iran and its associated terrorist group Hezbollah for the purpose of working together against their perceived common enemies in the West, particularly the United States." But the Commission comes to no firm conclusion on al-Qaeda's involvement in the Khobar disaster.

Since 9/11 the U.S. has held direct talks with Iran�and through intermediaries including Britain, Switzerland and Saudi Arabia�concerning the fate of scores of al-Qaeda that Iran has acknowleded are in the country, including an unspecified number of senior leaders, whom one senior U.S. official called al-Qaeda's "management council". The U.S. as well as the Saudis have unsuccessfully sought the repatriation of this group, which is widely thought to include Saad bin Laden, the son of Osama bin Laden, as well of other key al-Qaeda figures.

As it is mine. If any had any doubt as to the character, or lack thereof, of the C/N-C Faction on this board and elsewhere, they have now thoroughly been disabused of the notion.

To follow in the whine above, what do yer momma's think about you shitting all over this board?

Wink

kisses...
