All According To The Plan



Sometimes I marvel at just how accurate Tim LeHaye's protrayal of end times prophecy was in his "Left Behind" series. One interesting element of "Left Behind" was the rise of the antchrist in the early days - as he was supported and prompted to power by a small group of men, operating covertly, and who appeared to promote the antichrist for personal reasons. Of course, once in power, the antichrist killed anyone who knew his true intentions, including those who created his persona. 

Anyone who takes a look at the daily news with a discrerning eye can see that big events on the world state appear to be orchestrated and pre-planned rather than spontaneous. Today's news underscores this thought. The media, either by intent or unwittingly is also playing a powerful role in these end times events:




As stated on a number of occasions, the Tribulation simply couldn't occur with a strong, potent and free America. Period. For instance, with Ronald Reagan as President and a strong U.S. military, there is no way a world dictator could successfully emerge and carry out his plans. No way. 

This is a fascinating video clip and worth watching:


In the following video commentary Russian General Konstantin P. Petrov (Ret.) asks some interesting questions and includes his own thoughts (perhaps the non-official Russian position) about a variety of topics that include the end of US dollar hegemony

While here in the United States we remain enclosed in a propaganda bubble controlled by western multi-billion dollar media conglomerates, business interests and political alliances, there can be no doubt that other schools of thought exist throughout the world. What may seem like reality to our populace is perhaps nothing more than illusion.

Even if you’re the head of a mighty state and you don’t understand global politics and don’t understand the methods of global politics you’re still a hostage of the global mafia. The leadership of the USSR and the leadership of the USA carried out internal and external politics, but the global mafia carries out global politics.The USSR collapsed and the same fate has been prepared for the USA.




We are the victims of a media coup d’état and are currently living under it.
You will see that clearly in evidence on Wednesday night when the debates commence, each one moderated by a member of the liberal media nomenklatura. It is under the guidance of this liberalism, under their own version of sharia, if you will, that the debates will be conducted and Mitt Romney judged.
We have long lived under this assumed reign of liberalism – in our media, in our schools, and through our entertainment. It is as pervasive as the air we breathe and as unquestioned. 

It is the media that rules us then, not politicians. Politicians come and go; journalists, pundits, commentators – in print, on television, and now on the Internet – last forever, or nearly, as they pass the baton to the next generation without a semblance of an ideological blip, seamless as a gold medal track team.

They are the ones who tell our story to us. They are our mirrors and they are indeed a new class, as resistant to change as any entrenched group of the rich and powerful. (Yes, many of them are not so rich and powerful nowadays, but the ones that count, the ones that truly rule, are. And the others stand patiently by, waiting for their turn.)

This class, more than any, determined that Barack Obama should be president and they consequently will work more assiduously than any to assure his reelection, because a failure in that would be a serious, perhaps fatal, attack on their hegemony.

The coup would be in danger of a counter-coup. That can’t be allowed to happen. No facts, no events (Benghazi, Fast & Furious, endless unemployment, a healthcare fiasco) will get in the away or be allowed to be given serious credence.


But when did this coup start and how did it get so successful?





With every new bit of information surfacing about the “Innocence of Muslims” movie trailer and its shady producer, it is looking more and more like the movie was part of an Islamist provocation, in which the film was produced to provide a pretext for widespread attacks against our embassies throughout the Middle East. It comes complete with cover story and perfect dupes. Let’s review.

As details emerged it became clear that the Benghazi raid was a premeditated, carefully planned attack by heavily armed Jihadists, coordinated with radicals in Egypt and other Mideast countries, and timed for the anniversary of 9-11, 2001. Libyan leaders confirmed as much shortly thereafter. Meanwhile, until September 27th the Obama administration was implausibly still insisting that the attacks were inspired by the movie. Now, more than two weeks after the attack, they are finally admitting they knew the truth within 24 hours.Why did they stick to their story for so long, when it was clear that this idiotic film had nothing to do with the attack?

Early news reports claimed that an anti-Muslim movie sparked the violence. This could not have legitimately been the cause of spontaneous riots. That evening, some 15 hours after the Egyptian protests began, the “Innocence of Muslims” YouTube trailer, posted way back in July, had garnered only 1,000 views. It should have been viral by then, but it is doubtful that many Muslims had even heard of the film. Furthermore, the quality and dialogue was so poor that it was laughable. Even imputing the lowest intelligence quotient to fanatic Islamist viewers, it is impossible to imagine anyone getting worked up over this joke of a film. The complete film debuted in June, according to the L.A. Times, at “a run-down theater on a seedy stretch of Hollywood Boulevard,” though fewer than 10 people were there to see it. Others question whether the full-length version actually exists. No copy has turned up since the story broke earlier this month.

At around 6 a.m. on September 11th, well before any protests were launched, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued the following statement, now disavowed by the State Department:
 “The Embassy of the United States in Cairo condemns the continuing efforts by misguided individuals to hurt the religious feelings of Muslims—as we condemn efforts to offend believers of all religions. Today, the 11th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the United States, Americans are honoring our patriots and those who serve our nation as the fitting response to the enemies of democracy. Respect for religious beliefs is a cornerstone of American democracy. We firmly reject the actions by those who abuse the universal right of free speech to hurt the religious beliefs of others.”
What religious incitement? No protests had yet occurred, so the Embassy clearly knew something was brewing. On September 9th, the Grand Mufti of Egypt, one the few people who had apparently heard of the film, denounced it as “Offensive to the Prophet.” He accused “extremist Copts” of producing it. How did he learn of it and why would he draw attention to such an insignificant production? How did he know it was “extremist Copts?” The filmmaker had not yet been exposed, he used an alias during the film’s production, and his cover story was that he was Jewish. Still, judging by the YouTube visits, few Muslims got the message.


So how did thousands of Muslim rioters in multiple countries come out to protest a film they never saw?


This is a long article but worthwhile. The conclusions:


None of this adds up, unless this film had the one specific purpose for which it has been used. Such a film need not be well done. It only needs to provide a pretext. In that regard it has performed admirably.
 Despite his many aliases, Nakoula is obviously known to the feds. Did they know of his film production? The local police apparently did. Are the feds uncomfortable with exploring the possibility that this film was part of a premeditated provocation by Muslim terrorists? Were they taken for a ride by this “informant?” Why did the U.S. insist for weeks that the recent Middle East attacks were the result of this film when they knew better? Is this yet another effort by the Obama administration to find a pretext to suppress free speech? Islamic leaders in America are already calling for legislation limiting free speech. Why has the FBI still not departed for Libya? Are they afraid of what they might find, or is someone else afraid of what they might find?
 This administration has much to answer for regarding this deadly attack and for that matter many other things. Despite its pledge to be the most “transparent” administration in history, if past is prologue, honest answers are not likely to be forthcoming soon.







Three days after Ambassador Chris Stevens was assassinated, Jay Carney told the White House press corps it had been the work of a flash mob inflamed by an insulting video about the Prophet Muhammad.
As the killers had arrived with rocket-propelled grenades and automatic weapons, this story seemed noncredible on its face.

Yet two days later, U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice doubled down. Appearing on five Sunday talk shows, she called the massacre the result of a "spontaneous" riot that was neither "preplanned" nor "premeditated."
Carney and Rice deceived us. But were they deceived?

It is impossible to believe that Carney would characterize the Benghazi, Libya, massacre as the result of a protest that careened out of control unless he had been told to do so by the national security adviser, the White House chief of staff or President Barack Obama himself.
Who told Carney to say what he did? Who arranged for Rice to appear on five shows to push this line?
Throwing a rope to Rice and Carney, the director of national intelligence, James Clapper, said last week that only recently had his team concluded that Benghazi was the work of terrorists.
Yet intelligence insiders were leaking to the press the day after Stevens was murdered that it was terrorism.

Was U.S.intelligence oblivious to how dangerous Benghazi was when Stevens went in? Was not Benghazi's reputation as a haven for Islamic jihadi known to us all before we "liberated" Libya? 

This is the city U.S. air power saved when Moammar Gadhafi's forces were closing in. It now appears to be an al-Qaidaville where U.S. diplomats and agents dare not tread.
As for the Arab Spring Obama embraced, that has given us the Muslim Brotherhood in Cairo and jihadi in Sinai. Our departure from Iraq paved the way to a new sectarian war. The surge troops are out of Afghanistan, and the remaining U.S. troops no longer partner with the Afghan soldiers who are to take over the war.
Any doubt about the outcome there when we're gone?
Within the past month, anti-American riots, flag burnings and the raising of Islamist banners atop U.S. embassy facilities have occurred in too many countries and capitals to recite.
If this is the fruit of a successful engagement with the Islamic world, what would a debacle look like? Rep. Paul Ryan said Sunday, "The Obama foreign policy is unraveling literally before our eyes on our TV screens."

– Large, unusual movements of U.S. special operations equipment, including combat planes and gunships, recently have been tracked departing the U.S. and heading east, and various sources believe the movement could be associated with crises brewing in the Middle East and North Africa, according to Joseph Farah’s G2 Bulletin.The aircraft reportedly include the C-130N Combat Shadow, used to refuel special operations helicopters; HC-130P Combat King, used for personnel recovery; and the AC-130U Spooky and A-10 Thunderbolt, for close air support.
According to the open-source intelligence group Stratfor, the aircraft are used primarily by special operations. In referring to its spotters, Stratfor said some 12 U.S. Marine Corps F/A-18 Hornet fighter aircraft also are on the move, possibly for the Middle East. There reportedly are a number of what Stratfor describes as superiority squadrons involved, including a stealthy F-22 Raptor squadron.
“The deployment of this kind of aircraft, along with the unusual presence of AC-130U gunships, special operations helicopters, drones and tankers, could be the sign that something big is going to take place in the coming weeks,” according to David Cenciotti in the Aviationist.









A pro-abortion group is sending letters to 60,000 churches in an attempt to intimidate them in the upcoming elections.With churches holding voter registration drives, with pastors talking about the importance of pro-life and religious issues in the election and with churches allowing pro-lifers to distribute literature based on their First Amendment rights, the threats could adversely effect pro-life election efforts.Mathew Staver, chairman of the Liberty Counsel, a pro-life legal group, talked about the letters."In a national mass mailing, the left-wing organization Americans United for Separation of Church and State (AU) has advised the leadership of 60,000 targeted churches across the nation not to become involved in “partisan politicking,” he said. “Their true goal, unwritten but hidden between the lines: To SILENCE the truth from being spoken in American pulpits and to MUZZLE people of faith on the vital issues that will be decided in the 2012 elections.”

So what can churches and pastors do during election season?

“I want to remove the muzzle that secularists want to put on pastors and replace it with a megaphone. Pastors can preach on biblical issues, can educate people about where the candidates stand on these biblical issues, and can urge the people to vote for biblical values. Churches can help people register to vote, and much more,” Staver explains. “A pastor can preach on the sanctity of human life and then educate the people about where the candidates stand on this issue. We face the most important election of our life time. Silence is not an option.”

Scott/Caver or anyone else can you read this article on the front page of RR. It is called "What are you looking for?" by Ron Graham. It discusses the verse we often use about looking up our redemption is drawing near from Luke 21. We use it as encouragement for the church when he makes a good case that it is for the Jews during the tribulation. His main point is the church does not need redemption because we are already saved by grace. It is for the next dispensation during the tribulation. It made great sense and I wanted to get feedback from others here. To me it gave even more evidence for the pre-trib rapture.
Thanks in advance.

This is CRAZY...no its EVIL… call it for what it is! Just heard facts of two news stories this morning on Fox.
First effective Nov 2, Lockheed Martin (and other companies) will be REQUIRED BY LAW to issue written warnings to employees-defense contractors that lay-offs are coming in January due to the Defense budget cuts. The winged minions for the WH ac-wanna be, have approached Lockheed Martin in Virginia and informed them, oh you dont have to do that, theres a way around that! These evil people have told Lockheed that if they restrain from sending out the lay-off notifications, they (the Feds) will pick up the tab (with OUR TAX DOLLARS) to cover ANY lawsuits filed for them not issuing the notices within the time frame stipulated by LAW! Why this offer specifically to Lockheed? VIRGINIA - swing state and the WH Kenyan doest want lay-off notices going out from these companies days before the Election!
In other words, these EVIL people are (not surprising Chicago gang tactics) trying to literally control the circumstances, and using our hard earned money to do their evil deeds! UGGGG!
Next, oh my gosh! Little know to the public kept on the QT, but TODAY started the hospital restrictions with "obamacare aka Stalin/Hitlercare! Hospitals are no longer allowed to admit patients for the same initial cause of hospitalization, within 30 days, or they are fined! They had a professional Dr. with his own Practice on Fox saying how horrible this if for patients. In other words, frequently readmitted patients with say heart conditions or pneumonia, face not being able to be readmitted because the hospital may now be fined!!!
WHAT! As the good Dr. pointed out, "where are these patients supposed to go"!!! They have difficulty turning to private Doctors because allot of them wont accept Medicare, and are considering closing their Practices because of "obamacare".
This will mean certain death for some, without question. The good Dr. summed it up well, saying who is the GOVENERMENT to decide my treatment between myself and my patient! What are people going to do? These precious Seniors and Disabled folks on Medicare etc., are they to say to their loved one "I know you have pneumonia, but just hang in there honey for 30 days and it will all be good"??? The “Death Panels” Im sure are waiting in the wings!
Never, ever as a baby Christian, did I EVER even think, that we would still be here to Witness this evil coming to fruition in this world! Whew, grateful those naive days are past.
But we KNOW, and take comfort that this also tells us that soon, soon dear Brothers and Sisters, we will hear the joyful sound of His Shofar blowing! And then within milliseconds, we will be in the Glory of His Presence forever!

God Bless!

With all this depressing news and the media controlling policy here, we as Christians need to be more urgent about praying for our nation. For as long as Almighty God id on our side, nothing is ever hopeless. For if we humble ourselves and turn to him, he will hear our prayers. One other thing: If Obama has much to answer for in the terrorist attacks, just wait til he stands before Almighty God in judgement. I would not want to be in his shoes. Ally, hope you are doing better; and will continue to pray for you.

I saw some of this too MRs.c. on FFox. it is bewildering. I am nervous about the debates because except for prayer ( and it is not second rate or a consolation prize)
we are powerless against the media slants. It is very dark and almost as if live in two different countries.
Maybe some case will show up between now and nOV TO SHAKE THE CONFIDENCE of those trusting in Obamacare.
We need to pray like crazy over tomorrows debates.

Mrs.C said...

In agreement in Prayer with you Sister KR, over the debates and mush more! Its like living in the Twilight Zone! Separate dimensions! The King has no clothes!
The Kenyan and his minions completing the same pattern! Dont use the word "Islamic terrorist", and just pretend it wasnt a terrorist attack. Just ignore the laws, and find a way around them, or usurp them and Congress! Truly, it is the actions of a criminal dictator from the hood. Always found it interesting that the name "czars" was given to his minions. The word "czar" comes from the word "Caesar" ! Yike!

Then you cant even go down the road of WHY people are so blind to all this! Settling down, you can see God is giving a very clear picture, preview of what is to come during the Trib...

Hello Mrs C,
In regards to your comment about why Lockheed Martin? I work for one of the defense contractors (not Lockheed) and apparently Lockheed Martin is the only company that has planned to give everyone pink slips. But, now they have backed off due to this recent development. I think it's criminal!

If I may ask a favor, someone questioned me about where in the Bible it says that there will be a peace treaty and after 3-1/2 years the antichrist will renig. I am out of town and don't have my Bible with me and I don't know off the top of my head where it is. Can anyone offer that info?

Oh, I see it's back to trying to figure out what the code is.

Thanks much!

Kathleen said...

Hello Mrs. C, in regards to your comment about why Lockheed Martin? I also work for a defense contractor (not Lockheed) and Lockheed Martin is the only company that had planned on sending out pink slips to ALL employees. My company thought about it but never made the plans. I heard that due to the latest developments, that Lockheed has backed off. So political!! It's criminal.

I have a favor. Someone questioned me where it was in the Bible that says there will be a peace agreement and then after 3-1/2 years the antichrist will reneg. I'm out of town and don't have my Bible with me and don't know where it is off the top of my head. Can someone help?

Thanks much

Susan said...

I feel very blessed to have a pastor who supports polital/moral issues. We've had experts on the constitution come and speak to our church, voter registration drives, fasting and prayer for our nation and prayer for repentance and revival - all held on the campus of our church. You don't even have to mention democrat or republican. Churches have the authority and right to discuss where candidates stand on issues, without actually endorsing a particular candidate. Sadly, there are many churches in our area that won't even hold a voter registration drive for fear of appearing too "political".

This IS the most important election of our lifetime. We DON'T know the day or hour of the Lord's return. As I see it, we can go down "softly" as a nation or we can go down with judgment. The democrats, with their thrice denial of God at their convention, their endorsement of same-sex marriage, their support of abortion, redistribution of wealth (stealing), lawlessness, etc. will continue to bring nothing but judgement to our nation imho. Please, please, please, if you are not registered to vote, do so now. And, while you're at it, see if you can get 10 additional like-minded people to register to vote. Educate your children and your grandchildren. Occupy til Jesus comes!

Ally said...

Thanks so much for prayers, I am feeling better!
WV-love Ron Graham and Donna Wasson! Both make you think!
SCOTT,go to Walid Shoebat's Sept. 25 2012 blog if you want to have your spun around! Lol! I think mine might have fallen off a couple of times while reading it. About the innocense of muzzies film. Cuz Walid's cousin is all up in the whole deal with the movie. You most def will not be seeing this in the msm! What an eye opener!
Everybody please go to www.ifmypeople2012.org on the 40 days of prayer and fasting link. There is a prayer video for each day done by a different pastor. 5 minutes long! And you can pray along with them. Each day has a specific focus! Like repentance or praying for our nation to turn to GOD. GOOD STUFF!
Caver-its funny how I got sick and can't eat really lol! Looks like I'm fasting a little more than planned! Satan struck me down to keep my eyes off the prize and instead God is using it fire his glory. Cuz I didn't want to commit myself to a total fast fearing weak willpower and failure. But now I'm not really eating because I can't!!!
Loven you!
Maranatha!

WVBORN56 said...

Ally, love your attitude. You are a joy. Still sending up prayers on your behalf. You clearly have the spiritual gift of encouragement. Thanks for using it. God Bless.

Caver said...

Hi WV,

Well, I was hoping Brother Scott would weigh in on this one but it looks like not. I got in way late yesterday and was snoozing by 8:30.

Mrs C and I both have a hard time with Mr. Graham's position. We both agree and disagree....but first, a word of the credit for this. Mrs C is the one that took the time to go back and read the relevant scripture and any insight expressed here should be hers, not mine.

OK, now to accept Mr. Graham's position, as we read it, would mean that the shed blood of Christ is dried and has completed its job. No. People are still being redeemed through that shed blood almost 2000 years later. And they will, up until the time of the Rapture, AND through the Trib.

And pointing toward 1 Th 4...

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

This is an event yet future, made possible through that shed blood. Yes, the Trib Saints and the Jew is to be looking up, but so are we....Jesus won't come quite as far for us as He will then to get them, but He is coming in the clouds for us.

Its for us too. We both believe this scripture and teaching has a duel meaning.....

Now, its time this boy takes off and hits the drafting board but not before asking Mrs C to chime in too. She knows this far better than I and gave me the initial directional signal on the issue.

Scott said...

Opps sorry - I missed this one.

I'll get back on this as soon as I get a chance.

Categorically, however, I usually reject the notion that certain scriptures are ONLY for the Jews because of _, _, or _...

If we apply (whatever) precedent across the board, it never works.

The whole context of Luke 21, are the generational signs that we would be watching - and the context is the entire world (as so eloquently pointed out by Showers in "Maranatha...." )...If intended for the nation of Israel, the context would have been different IMO - to the entire discourse.

I don't think you can cherry-pick scriptures and say "this one only applies to the Jews. This one only applies to group X...."

In my opinion, the 'rules' of prophecy interpretation apply across the board.

More later

WVBORN56 said...

Thanks Scott and Caver. Excellent points. I like the idea of duel application and looking at the context. I also think the OT folks were pointing forward to the cross and future generations point back to the cross. It is all about grace. I was not familiar with the author but his case seemed to make logical sense.

Mrs.C said...

Hi Dear Brother WV, :)
“What are we looking for?” We all are “looking” for our Beloved Bride Groom! :) Forgive me, but I sensed a wee bit of condescending in his choice of verbiage for his article, and I do have to respectfully disagree with his conclusion.

Yes, without question Jesus is speaking to the Tribulation Saints directly, just as we know He is speaking to the same group in Matthew 24, but it is also for the “Church”.  The author of the article is missing Gods Purpose in these Scriptures. God has provided a duality, for both the future Tribulation Saints and the Church.

Jesus laid down His Life, so as we can be Redeemed. To those that are presently Saved, He is our Redeemer that continues to Redeem. His Redeeming continues. Those at this present moment that are not Saved, they have the option of seeking to be Redeemed by Him. They can be “looking for their “Redemption”. Jesus is to those Saved, a Redeemer, and “Redemption” is within Him and Him alone. He shed His Blood once, but His Blood continues to wash sin away, His Blood is not dried up on the Cross, it continues to pay for the sin of all that come to Him. His Blood is active, His Redemption is active.

The Holy Spirit will be active during the Tribulation in a different way than His Ministry through of the Lords Church. MANY will be Saved. Jesus is speaking to these Jewish Believers of the Tribulation, they are treated differently than the Church as we know from Revelation- they will Serve God for Eternity – we the Church will rule and reign with Jesus.
Just as the “signs” in Matthew 24 are for both – God has them serve duel purposes. For the Jewish Tribulation Believers, this will help them know and confirm the times they are in, for the Church we are observers, they let us know the closeness of the beginning of the Trib. Just as Paul had said, we would not be ignorant of this, we the Church will know the “season”. Jesus tells us this also in Revelation 3, that as “watchers” we will not be surprised.

Mrs.C said...

Continued...

The author of that article fails to realize that Jesus in both Luke 21 and Matthew 24 is speaking to Jewish Believers of the Tribulation. As the Church led through the Church Age, the Jewish Believers will lead through the Tribulation. The author’s point that because we are Saved, Luke 21:28 is not for us. Actually, the fact is, that those in the Tribulation that Jesus is speaking to, will ALSO be Saved. Therefore what the author is saying that the Words Jesus spoke to them in Luke21:28 are for neither the Church nor the Tribulation Saints, based on his reasoning because both groups are Saved.

For JEWISH Believers of the Tribulation, the word “redemption” has a different connotation than if this word were directed to the Church. These are already BORN AGAIN JEWISH BELEIVERS, who know full that they have been “redeemed” by the Blood of Jesus – Yeshua their Savior.
“Redemption” to the Jewish Believers, is on a much grander scale! It is “redemption” from evil of the body and Soul, evil in all of Creation. The whole enchilada! The “redemption” of ALL, which as we know, and they will know too, is the ushering in of Gods Millennial Kingdom ! Jesus makes this comment of “looking up for your redemption is nigh”, the Kingdom of God to be established on Earth is coming to them soon!

For we as the Church, we are to look up also. Just as said before, Matthew 24 for example, is for the Church to observe, so we would know the “signs” before the Trib begins. We are told in the our Blessed Hope, our Bride Groom will come for us from above, we “look up” for our “redemption” from this world.

1.re•demp•tion/riˈdempSHən/
Noun: 1. The action of saving or being saved from sin, error, or evil: "God's plans for the redemption of his world".

The Jewish Believers of the Trib will be “looking up”, and that is ALSO for us to be “looking up”. For us it is our Redeemer, our Savior, who encompasses all “redemption” within Him. For the Jewish Believers of the Trib, it is the coming of Yeshua , all evil vanquished…and the establishment of Gods Kingdom on Earth…

Look up, Brothers and Sisters, look up! Our Redemption draweth nigh!

WVBORN56 said...

Good job Mrs. C thanks for taking your time for the explanation. Well done. :)

Sharon said...

Ally,
I'm glad that you are feeling better and that your fasting is going better than planned.:) God is good! He is mighty to save! I'm praising God with you and the others for His healing Hand touching you. -- may your fasting with prayer to our great God be especially blessed this week.

Maranatha!

David said...

There is an article today in Prophecy Update that has implicated Israel being behind the 9/11 attacks.

JD Siegel said...

David, can you give a link please?

JD Siegel said...

And also David, if Israel WAS truly behind the 911 attack, then why is the US still a politcal ally of Israel, for that would have been a declaration of war and a breaking of diplomatic ties, and #2, it would mean Bin Lauden was assasinated unjustly for Bush said it was Al Qaida, and then the US entered Iraq under false pretenses. Remeber, the alledged sighting of "dancing Israeli's" was the testimony of ONE old woman, who wouldn't know an Israeli from an Arab. I don't buy it for one second.
