It's just beyond suspicious that it came in the moment he touched down and started doing his PR campaign. If it can be established that the aid was delayed for simple PR... it's over.

Has there been any further word on this at all? I heard Jack Cafferty mention the suspicious timing, but I've heard nothing concrete.

1. c.f. the Iran Costage Crisis. There's no question.
The split screen "the leader arrives" and "the crisis is resolved" images are a dead giveaway of it being completely staged.

8. The Hussein statue was another one. They've shown a penchant
for political theater rarely found outside of fascist states and banana republics.

I'd love to see this story take off though- and for that, you need real, concrete evidence and testimonials from witnesses.

3. it takes time to get all that ready
and some could have been on scene long before the last was loaded. It was a set up as anyone who was ever in logistics could tell you. But, has it been proved yet? Nope but this is an episode where people are going to talk after its over ---about all sorts of things.

they turned back physicians, cops, rescue workers all certified who came with their own equipment as well. I'd like THAT explained.

6. We have no reason to suspect that it was NOT delayed.
Seriously.

If we can't get traction on the Downing Street Minutes, how are we going to get anything concrete on this?

It was all orchestrated around Bush's photo op. BELIEVE it.

9. I saw it!
On one of my rare t.v. visits yesterday! Helicopters in the staging area. Taking off and landing. People running around. The chick on CNN was asking, with all this activity, why is aid not delivered.

WELL NOW WE KNOW!

Why was chimpy reading GOAT when the towers fell? WELL NOW WE KNOW.

He thrives on disaster and other people's suffering.

10. Just the fact that many of us have a thought
like this flowing through our minds is a testament to how obscene this administration is and how far they have dragged any semblance of trust down their rabbit hole of illusions.

11. It was pretty obvious that help was delayed
Too many reports of different groups trying to come in and offer aid, only to be turned away with bullshit excuses. Those who died were killed by Bush. He just as well have shot them in the head, as let them die a slow and agonizing death, just so he could play captain codpiece again.
