Strange about the power going off. My friend lives on the AF base in CO Springs and the power has been off there since 2:30 am — to the WHOLE BASE according to folks my friend spoke with (she inquired as to if it was just the electricity to the housing on base, or otherwise, and was told it was a base-wide outage). I don’t know if it’s come back on there or not — I saw her message on Facebook about an hour ago.

Something very strange is going on that’s for sure... Like you I’m not believing this for a second.

I think you are wrong. If this was for real, Obama and the media would be playing it up for all it's worth.

Sympathy for the Devil. Any attack of this sort would bring immediate support for him..."It's Bush's fault."...No?

Yes, and that is the danger of a small boat in a metropolitan area. However, simply used as a means of transportation, it is still a potential danger. Place five, or six terrorists on board with their gear, and motor them into downtown Washington.

No freaking way would a professional schedule an exercise with POTUS in the mix. EVERYONE would have to be clued into the exercise so they didn’t react to the simulation. And if EVERYONE was clued in then a real threat would be dismissed as part of the exercise and likely succeed.

I believe this was a training exercise just like I believe the CIA fantasy film about TWA 800. Gee, that was also on the Dummocrap watch . . .

Something “O” staged for sympathy and support? We’ll see.

That's what I suspect.

Video shows far bank, black van’s door opening - 3 persons in black suites running to waters edge and apparently giving instructions to one of the CC boats which starts the boat zipping back and forth in the video...

1. The electricity goes off 2. Sirens are heard 3. Flights are stopped at National Airport...

Were these reports, or things you observed?

That’s what happened. Read it again and do your own research if you don’t believe me - “Buckhead”.

Flights have been ok’d again for takeoff and landing - they were stopped for a time, however.

Possible?

“Due to an increase in CHATTER among foreign AND domestic terrorists (read: Tea Party Express/912 participants) it has been decided to shut down the entire city of Washington DC for the upcoming weekend in order to keep all citizens safe from harm. Any prior planned events will unfortunately be canceled as of this announcement. City will return to normal on Monday, September 14th. We regret any inconvenience to businesses or the citizens of DC for this decision!”

Now I’m off to buy stock in Reynolds Aluminum...

We're in town at the Circle Hotel, checking out this morning and going across the river to the Sheraton. Heard a lot of sirens, but then again we're right across the street from the GWU ER, so we've been hearing that for almost a week now!

So you really had the electricity go off? Hmmmmm, kinda creepy....

If it was real, Obama simply walk out to the boat, apologize for whatever grievance they were seeking redress from and proclaim world peace.

I think the poster was paying you a compliment, not criticizing you. Just saying...

Either someone is triggy happy, it was a real incident or we have Inspector Clouseau running the show.

If the 0bama administration lies to us about this possible terrorist event in light of all the other lies they've been telling they are going to damage their credibility even with their own supporters.

But I think they're too caught up in their own little bubble to believe that. Oh well.

The arrogantly tone deaf administration of
Barack Obama, who’s determined to force
America to marginalize and/or forget the
everlasting historic significance of this
horrendous day, when 19 evil Middle Eastern
Muslim men used American technology and
flight training to attack our country.
