The October Crisis 2010!
Obama's
"scare the Americans into voting Democratic" plan is already in
trouble. The official story on Friday October 29th was that an unnamed
ally issued a warning for British authorities to be on the lookout for a
suspicious package sent from Yemen to Great Britain on a UPS flight. A
search of the UPS flighty on the ground in Britain yielded a package
containing a printer toner cartridge sprayed with a white substance that
looks like plastic Christmas tree snow.
But the story gets
better! The original claim was that the suspicious package originated in
Yemen and flew to Britain on an aircraft owned by UPS, and the media
showed us all the video of a UPS aircraft being stopped and searched on
the runway in Britain.
But there is a problem. There are no UPS aircraft flying in and out of Yemen!
UPS own website (from before the so-called terror incident) does not list Yemen as one of their service regions.
A
PDF file (which includes the history of the document from weeks ago)
listing of all the international airports the UPS aircraft fleet flies
to does not list Yemen as a destination!
In short, there was not and could not be a UPS aircraft flying out of Yemen.
UPS
uses a subcontractor, Sun Tours, to handle shipping in and out of
Yemen. Sun Tours sends their shipments via Yemenia Air, and Yemenia
Air's Cargo Director reports there were no shipments sent through Yemen
to Chicago for the 48 hours prior to the "discovery" of the toner
cartridge in Britain.
A second claim that a flight from Dubais
carried packages from Yemen has been refuted by the United Arab Emirates
Civil Aviation Authority.
In short a toner cartridge that cannot
explode shows up on a UPS jet which could not have come from Yemen, and
Obama pounds it for all its worth trying to save the Democrats next
Tuesday. Frankly I think Americans should be outraged not that Obama
tried such a stunt, but that after all the times Bush was caught using
terror scares for political gain that Obama thinks you are all stupid
enough to fall for it again! If tonight's polls are accurate, you
weren't and you didn't and Obama may have just screwed his own party to
the point where they are all praying for Diebold to save them!
