must read after I wake up
WorldNetDaily often has conspiracy theories mentioned. However, this is far more plausible than all of the conspiracy stuff spewed out by the left put together.
With all of the hullabaloo over the President's trip to South America, I can't remember reading ANYTHING about the meetings. Was anything accomplished?
Powerline, Rocketman I think, wrote on this last week. He advanced the assasination theory. It's a good story, but if I were to plan this, I'd have attacked the President as he made his way back into the crowd to get Trotta. Looking at the sequence pix he was very very vuknerable at that time.
I was a little suspicious of the "incident" myself. I don't trust security from other countries. They seem to change loyalities with the shifting of the wind.
PLEASE DO NOT POST TEASERS FROM ARTICLES THAT MUST BE PAID FOR TO READ.
I've been worried about this since GWB won reelection. Besides the fact the whacko Dems won't accept the outcome, the CIA and the State Dept. hacks also have an interest in getting Bush out of office, one way or another. Add to that the Europeans and the U.N. plus the Islamofascists, there are a lot of people and parties with an interest in seeing that Bush doesn't finish his term, or even get to start his 2nd one. I hope there is extra vigilence going on to watch out for this.
It seems to me you were about the only one who was suggesting assassination the very day this happened. Any more thoughts?
Machismo is the likeliest explanation. And I agree that the initiative had to come from the top, because Chilean security officers never would have dared to pull of something like that without knowing that their superiors approved.
A plot is also a possibility, although it's unlikely ever to be proven. We can rule out the idea that they intended to kill Bush at that moment, or they would have probably attempted it. He was in an extremely dangerous position among a mob of armed men fighting with each other.
But if the Secret Service had been kept out of the dinner altogether, it's possible that one of the guests could have brought in a weapon and used it later, knowing that metal detectors would not be used.
If so, then Chile would have had to be involved in the plot at the highest levels. Otherwise Hugo Chavez could not have known that the S.S. would be kept out and the metal detectors not used. I don't know how likely that is.
